It would help to know which division you were in,
because I do think that your average exposure of
questions per game was much higher.

As for
unnecessary verbiage and long bonus intros, I suppose that's
up to preference. I myself had to endure 8-10-line
tossups in the olden days.

I suppose we could just
revamp Penn Bowl and other timed tourneys down
to...

Tossup: In what book do you find the quote "Call me
Ishmael"?

If you'd like, we'd love to see you post your
original submission questions to Penn Bowl. At least we'd
like to see if your questions were so good as to be
immune to any hardcore editing. Or at least, it would be
interesting to see what you consider a good question to
be.

It's Penn Bowl. It's also 10 years since the first
one. Believe me... it's improved significantly since
then.
