TRASH Regionals is traditionally held across the country the weekend after Election Day in the fall. There are usually sites in both of the regions you mentioned. For independent trash events (pop culture tournaments not affiliated with TRASH), I can't speak for the Midwest. For the Southeast, Florida usually runs a sorta-mirror of Michigan's Ann B. Davis or packet-submission event with their SSI academic tournament on MLK weekend. Robin Richards (of Cedar Shoals High School in Athens, GA) also holds a spring trash tournament around Spring Break weekend and a hybrid academic and trash tournament in the summer. UT-Chattanooga traditionally hosts a number of trash tournaments throughout the year: RC Cola (the upcoming one is tentatively scheduled for March 30), Summer Camp in the summer (duh), Big Lots in the fall (usually in October and paired with the COTKU academic tournament), and Trashmasters (usually the first weekend in December). That last one will be held on the weekend of December 1 this year. If you want the most up-to-date tournament information, your best bet is to use the message board at The Quizbowl Resource Center (http://www.hsquizbowl.org/phpBB2/). That's where most people post tournament announcements these days. -- Kilby
