Hello everybody. I've decided to (for various reasons) change the
format of our Sword Bowl mirror here at Drake.
Instead of the original proposed format with more than one
tournament bracket, everyone will compete with equal status, and the
teams will be restricted in a manner similar to the Oklahoma mirror:
A team may consist of up to four people provided it contains no one
member with over two years of experience in intercollegiate Quiz
Bowl competition and all the players are undergraduates.
A team may consist of up to two people if it contains no one person
with more than four years of intercollegiate Quiz Bowl competition,
and all of the players are undergraduates.
Anyone with more than four years of intercollegiate Quiz Bowl
experience, regardless of standing in university, may only compete
as a one person team.
I'm sorry if this adversely affects anyone's decision to attend the
tournament.
Again, if you want to register for this event, or you have any
questions or concerns, please email me (the handsome Quentin Roper)
at QJR001 (at) drake (dot) edu.
I hope to hear from many of you very soon.
