With less than 72 hours to go, we're still expecting a 12-team field for TrashMasters 2006 on Sat., Dec. 2. So I don't have to overprepare the schedules, I'm capping the field at 13 teams, leaving room for one last-minute team at the no-packet price ($120 for a novice team or $140 for a more experienced team that should have known to send me a packet by now.) Several of the teams listed below are still fishing for available free agents; let us know at utcquizbowl [at] gmail [dot] com if you're interested. The teams are listed below, but first let's cover Sunday morning. As you may recall, this year by popular demand we switched TrashMasters to a Saturday-only format. For the out-of-towners and those who just can't get enough trash, we are having an all-audio singles tournament Sunday 12/3, starting at 9 AM and ending no later than 12:30 PM. The event will be held in Grote 129. John Kilby will conduct a series of audio quizzes, setting up a final buzzerfest. Mike Burger has graciously consented to run his ever- popular game show round while John et al. grade papers and figure out who qualifies for the finals. Since this is a beta version of an all-audio format, we are not charging fees per se. If you participated in TrashMasters as either player or official, the only entry requirement is for you to show up Sunday AM. Anyone who did not participate at Trashmasters can still take part, provided you promise to submit by 12/31/06 a small batch of original questions (5 tossups and 5 boni) for either Sword Bowl (our January college junior bird tournament) or for our March high school tournament. But back to TrashMasters itself: Remember registration begins Sat. AM 12/2 at 9 AM, with the K-Tel Hell prelims beginning a 10 AM and tournament play starting immediately thereafter. We plan to take a late lunch break, probably after 2 PM, so we'll have donuts, juice, and milk on hand Sat. AM. Here are the teams I have as of tonight. Amazingly the list is unchanged from the last update, except where the names have been changed to amuse the sentient. Please let me know if your status or team name has changed, or (again) if you plan to attend as a free agent. Thanks. Soul Truck (Michael/Long et al.)
