Hi all,

Sorry for the short notice, as we wanted to give Canadian teams right
of first refusal, but we still have a few spots available to play in
the first-ever Quebec Bowl. The tournament, a mirror of the British
Columbia Bowl, will be contested on the beautiful campus of McGill
University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on Saturday, Oct. 15. The
tournament will be played in the only building on a university campus
in North America known to be named after William Shatner, and will be
followed by a TRASH singles tournament.

We would love to have a number of American teams join us at this
tournament, which, despite having all its questions written by
Canadians, created packets with the goal of minimizing Canadian
content so that American teams would feel welcome and be able to
compete on equal footing. No packet submission is required to play,
and there is no fee for the tournament, although we would request that
each school bring one buzzer system. 

We have approximately four spots available at this time, and they will
be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Please let us know
by Thursday evening if you plan to attend. The tournament begins at
10am, which is designed to allow teams located nearby to drive in the
morning of the tournament, if they so desire. However, if you plan on
attending and wish to stay overnight for a night or two, e-mail me and
I will be happy to provide you with a number of hotels near McGill
(many offering special rates for McGill visitors), as well as
directions to Montreal, directions on and around campus, and a list of
events taking place in Montreal that weekend. 

Again, please let us know as soon as you can if you plan to attend,
with four spots currently being the maximum available number, and the
deadline to let us know your intentions being Thursday at 11:59pm EDT.

Thanks very much, and hope to see some American teams at this very 
American-friendly Canadian tournament.
