Swarthmore College Bowl is pleased to officially announce our annual packet-submission spring invitational, Questions on the Crum (now in its 13th edition)! The tournament will be held on April 16, 2005, on the Swarthmore campus (Kohlberg Hall). The tournament is designed to be at a difficulty level slightly below that of ACF regionals and is open to all teams with members enrolled in a degree-granting program at the same institution. Fees: All fees include a donut and juice breakfast and a pizza and soda lunch (one pizza per team entered). Base fee: $90 Second teams: $70 All other teams: $60 Buzzer: -$10 Moderator: -$10 Extra Pizza (remember, you already get one per team): +$10 Packet Submission Deadlines and Fees: -$20 by midnight, Sunday March 6 -$10 by midnight, Sunday March 13 -$0 by midnight, Sunday March 20 +$10 by midnight, Sunday March 27 +$25 by midnight, Sunday April 3 +$35 by midnight, Sunday April 10. No packets will be accepted after this date without highly extenuating circumstances. Packet Requirements: All teams not composed entirely of first-years are required to submit a full packet. We are willing to work with less-experienced teams if necessary; please inform me ASAP if you don't believe that you will be able to meet this requirement. We are asking for 25 tossups and 25 boni with difficulty at or slightly below that of ACF Regionals. General guidelines can be found at http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~paik/acf/ acfguide.html . If you have any more questions about difficulty or style, please feel free to contact me at eullman1 [at] swarthmore [dot] edu. Literature - 5/5 (At least 1/1 each on American, British/Commonwealth, and non-English lit. Be sure to spread the questions over a number of time periods.) Science - Science- 5/5 (At least 1/1 each on biology, chemistry, and physics. At least one question on math is required. Other disciplines may also be included. No more than 1/1 science history.) History - 5/5 (Be sure to spread the questions over a number of cultures and time periods. *Serious* current events may be included, up to 1/1.) Religion, Philosophy, and Mythology - 2/3 or 3/2 (Roughly even split between the three areas; be sure to spread the questions over a number of cultures and time periods.)

Trash/General Knowledge/Sports - 2/2 (Try to spread the questions out over different subcategories; GK includes interdisciplinary questions as well as, for example, tossups with answer "is". Trashy current events go here.) Your Choice - 1/1 (Anything you want. The questions should be in two different categories; fine arts, r/p/m, and social sciences are especially encouraged.) Format: Keep categories separated; boni prompts should be marked off simply by a carriage return and the number of points the prompt is worth in square brackets; answers should be marked off by ANSWER: and a space, boldface all essential parts. Packets should be sent to me at eullman1 [at] swarthmore [dot] edu. Preferable formats include Microsoft Word or RTF. We are still looking for freelancers or packet swaps - please contact me if you're interested. Thanks, and we hope to see some of you in April.
