As stated in the previous post, TTGT11 VI heavily compensates freelancers who write packets for the tournament. I ask you, the quizbowl community, to help if you can, and make this--probably my last tournament--by far my best. Packets by Anthony de Jesus (among other freelancers), not to mention packets written by the teams, were outstanding at last year's tournament; such enthusiasm again this year would be repayed not only with a trove of packets, but also my heartfelt gratitude. Info: 1. Anyone/team who would like to write a freelance packet for TTGT11 VI is more than welcome; we would appreciate it greatly. 2. Anyone/team who writes one (1) freelance packet will be supplied with the whole of this year's tournament (roughly 25-30 packets!) 3. Anyone/team who writes two (2) freelance packets will be supplied with the whole of last year's tournament (that's 24 packets!) 4. We would prefer packets of an academic nature, or at least packets that are 50/50 academic/TRASH, but we will gladly take given to us, just the same. Theme Packets: 1. A theme packet is any packet with a distribution of questions from various fields of interest whose questions/answers all have something in common. 2. Any team/freelance that would like to submit a theme packet for TTGT11 VI, please follow the following loose distribution of 21TU/22B: a. History 4-5/4-5 b. Lit 4-5/4-5 c. Science 4-5/4-5 d. Misc. Academic 4-5/4-5 e. Trash/Current Events 2-3/2-3 Subject Packets: 1. A subject packet is any packet containing all questions on a single subject. For example, any packet focusing only on art would be a subject packet. A subject packet is not nearly as limiting as some might think, however, for even a packet on 'art' can contain art history, famous artists, works, museums, and even TRASH references (e.g. 'Whistler's Mother' in the movie Bean).
