The UGA CBAT is announcing their 2d annual hybird tournament, "The 
Davids" Memorial, to be held on Saturday June 18, 2005, at the 
Student Learning Center on the UGA Campus. This is will be a partial 
mirror of the Ottawa Hybrid Tournament held this past spring.

The tournament is packet submission. However, I do have 16 packets 
from the OHT that teams are willing to accept as theirs (the choice 
is up to the TD) for a small extra fee (fees will be explained 
further below). 

Speaking of fees, here they are:

Base fee: $80
+$10 if you wish you use one of the OHT packets
-$10 if you wish to write your own (due date is Saturday June 11)
-$5 for a working buzzer 

Highest fee possible: $90
Lowest fee possible: $65

PACKET REQUIREMENTS: We will be using the same system we had in 
place for the Vince Dolley Memorial. (Keep in mind that the OHT 
packets may not following the same distribution pattern):

Packet Requirements (22 TU/boni total):
Academic:

2 History (1 US 1 World)
2 Lit
2 Science
2 Geography or other social sciences
1 Current Events
1 Misc
(plus 1 extra question- "writer's choice." Can be on any academic
topic they choose)

Trash:
2 TV (1 pre/post 1975)
2 Music (1 pre/post 1970)
2 Movies (1 pre/post 1970)
2 Sports (1 from each sport)
1 "Trash Lit"
1 Misc (trash-ography, consumerism, etc.)
(Plus 1 extra question- "writer's choice-" sci-fi rule still 
applies*)

*Sci-Fi Rule: As sci-fi/fantasy can transcend any of these
categories, there can be only one (1) sci-fi related TU and Bonus in
the trash section of the packet.

We ask that, starting this year, teams alternate their questions 
(whether or not you want to start with trash or academic is up to 
you. Just make sure that if you have an academic TU, you have an 
ensuing academic Bonus with it. (Whether or not you get that same 
style of bonus depends on the play of the game).

We're seeing if perhaps Berkeley is hosting its movie singles 
tournament this year again. If so, we may mirror that on June 19th 
and have it be a $5 event. We shall see....

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at quizdogs at 
uga dot edu.

Thanks

PS- Seeing as there were three hybrids in the last year, I doubt 
anyone will question the validity of this tournament.
