After all it is a THEME TOURNAMENT. It is not ACF Nationals or NAQT Nationals or even CBI Nationals where people should/will/and will always get their noses bent out of shape because their competitive instincts get the better of them. Some of my favorite rounds (albeit written by different people on the circuit) were at this tournament. Other players enjoyed the rounds like La Vie Boheme (J.P. Lien who handed me a BRUTAL smackdown) and Cheryl Barkauskas (who nearly 20'd a Harry Potter round). If you don't think this is worth your time or money, or if you think it is beneath your dignity then maybe you shouldn't go. If the tournament has retained the lighthearted them it had in previous years, then everyone wanting to have a fun quizbowl experience, by all means go. Sean Phillips not speaking for yada, damn there's something about a flame war:)
