The third edition of the Ottawa Hybrid Tournament will
take place on Saturday, March 24, 2007 at the
University of Ottawa. All are welcome to participate.

*note:  due to room limitations, the field will be
capped at 21 teams (however, this number is larger
than any field Ottawa has hosted...).  Should the cap
be reached, teams with submitted packets will take
priority, followed by order of registration.

Fees: $60 for the first team from a
school/organization, $50 each for additional teams.
Minimum fee of $0.

-$10 for each working buzzer system
-$10 for each full-time moderator
-$5 for each rotating moderator (ie: having 5 players
on a team and sending 1 out each round)
-$10 distance discount (roughly 450 km: essentially
beyond Toronto, Albany, North Bay, and Quebec City)

Packet discounts (all deadlines are Saturdays at 11:59
PM Ottawa time):
-$60 before Jan 6, 2007 (team plays for free)
-$45 before Feb 3, 2007
-$35 before Feb 10, 2007
-$25 before Feb 24, 2007
-$15 before Mar 10, 2007
At my discretion after March 10.

*note:  these packet discounts are possibly the most
generous available in quizbowl.  Please take advantage
of them.  I'm not here to make money off the
tournament.

Arrangements can be made for freelance packets or
mirrors.

Distribution:
2/2 Literature. Spread out the forms, genres,
geography, etc.
2/2 History. Spread out the time, geography, etc.
2/2 Science. 1 each on bio, chem, physics, and other.
2/2 to 3/3 Arts and Humanities. Can be R/M/P, fine
arts, and geography.
1/1 to 2/2 Social Science. Can be psychology,
economics, linguistics, law, etc.

2/2 TV. Spread out the decades and genres.
2/2 Pop Music. After WWII. Spread out the decades and
genres.
2/2 Movies/Musicals. After WWI. Spread out the decades
and genres.
2/2 Sports. At least 3 sports.
2/2 Other Trash. Internet, literature, games, brands,
etc.

4/4 Your choice. Variety of above topics, or other
categories that don't fit in.

*note for pop culture: please limit the "adult"
topics. There may be HS students present getting their
volunteer hours (in fact, there will probably be a HS
team).

*don't lift phrases from Wikipedia, websites,
encyclopedias, or old packets. You can quote primary
sources (literature, research papers, song lyrics,
etc). Blatant plagiarism will result in a loss of
packet discounts, effective whenever I first notice
it.

Any questions and packets can be sent to uotrivia AT
yahoo.ca

Thanks,

Ben Smith,
Director and editor, OHT 3.
