This is a new announcement for our cheaply priced trash tournament, ASS - The Atlantic Seaboard Skirmish - which will be held on Sunday, December 3rd at the University of Maryland, College Park, the day after the Terrapin Invitational Tournament. Please disregard all of the information in the previous announcement. The reason for this re-announcement is because we've decided to change how the tournament is going to be run. ASS is still a themed tournament, meaning that each round will have a packet of a certain trash theme. But the difference is that we're only doing one themed packet per round, instead of our original idea of doing two different, more niche packets per round. So, we're going to try to make these themes general, so that no one team has a real big advantage over the other team by getting lucky with the distribution. The questions for this tournament will be entirely house written, so there is no submission required. We are aiming to make the tournament pretty accessible, and the answer selection is generally going to focus on more recent (as in the past 15-20 years) subjects. This will be an open trashy tournament, so anyone is eligible to play. There will probably be around 12 or so rounds for this tournament, depending on how many teams register. Base Price: $80 Minimum fee per team: $50 Discounts: Buzzers: $5 a system Moderator: $10 Attended TIT this year: $20 Travel discounts may be available to teams who can convince me they deserve one. If you wish to register, send an e-mail to me, Mike Bentley, at mike000 (zero zero zero) (at) umd (dot) edu. Further logistical details will be sent out to registered teams closer to the tournament. If you are interested in mirroring this event or would like to acquire the packets for practice purposes afterwards (please let me know after the tournament if you want the questions for practice), please email Casey at crettere (at) umd (dot) edu.
