This Tournament Goes to Eleven VIII: Spinal Tap Takes Manhattan is 
still looking for freelance packet writers.

Tournament Dates: October 21-22, 2006
Deadline for packets: October 15, 2006

Contact: Andrew Juhl (dr_pookman_at_yahoo.com) if you are interested.

=======================
Packet Submission:

1. Anyone/team who would like to write a freelance packet for TTGT11 
is more than welcome; we would appreciate it greatly.

2. Anyone/team who writes one (1) freelance packet will be supplied 
with the whole of this year's tournament (roughly 30 packets!)

3. Anyone/team who writes two (2) freelance packets will be supplied 
with the whole of last year's tournament (that's 30 packets!)

4. We would prefer packets of an academic nature, or at least packets 
that are 50/50 academic/TRASH, but we will gladly take given to us, 
just the same.

=======================
Theme Packets:

1. A theme packet is any packet with a distribution of questions from 
various fields of interest whose questions/answers all have something
in common.

2. Any team/freelance that would like to submit a theme packet for 
TTGT11, please follow the following loose distribution of 21TU/22B:

   History 4-5/4-5
   Lit 4-5/4-5
   Science 4-5/4-5
   Misc. Academic 4-5/4-5
   Trash/Current Events 2-3/2-3

=======================
Subject Packets:

1. A subject packet is any packet containing all questions on a 
single subject. For example, any packet focusing only on art would be 
a subject packet. A subject packet is not nearly as limiting as some 
might think, however, for even a packet on 'art' can contain art 
history, famous artists, works, museums, and even TRASH references 
(e.g. 'Whistler's Mother' in the movie Bean).
