I have to agree with Dorri here. To make such a
comment, whether said lightly or not, is completely
asanine. A packet submission tournament in its own right
is an incredible amount of work. A pack submission
with over 60 teams is borderline
insanity.

Granted, I haven't been closely reading every single post,
but I can't recall one person complaining of a repeat
question. 20+ packs, 60 questions each, not one repeat.
That alone amazes me, the way some of you look for
errors like vultures seeking corpses.

Penn runs
the only 60+ team, pack submission tournament ever,
anywhere, period. There's not one other person in this
group who can stand up and say that they've ever done
such a thing. If they really are doing such a terrible
job, why do we all continue to throw $200 at them
every single year? If Penn Bowl is such a joke, then
how has it survived through ten
incarnations?

Speaking from the BU perspective, we go to Penn every year
without fail, and will continue to. It's the only trip I
can afford to take the whole team on budget-wise, and
we all have a great time. We're never a title
threat, I don't think we've even made a playoff. But we
pay every year to have our questions not used, to
play our 15 rounds and hit the road, because it's
fun.

Penn puts on a _quality_ event every year, and no one
can argue with that with the amount of crap some
people put out. You think you can do better?


Shut up and do it.
