The Upper Midwest incarnation of 2006 TRASH Regionals will be held
at the University of Minnesota on Sunday, November 12, 2006.
Note that the Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament (MUT), an academic
event, will be played the previous day, so this is your opportunity
for a full weekend of quizbowl excitement in the Twin Cities.
FORMAT
Format will depend on the number of teams participating, but I
anticipate some form of round robin, possibly followed by a playoff.
Games will be played using regular TRASH rules, including bonus
lames and steals.
