After receiving some interest, I am pleased to announce the Antonin Artaud Tournament of Cruelty, to be held (as earlier stated), on Saturday, August 11th 2001 at the University of Michigan. Format: ACF - Masters level difficulty (around nationals level, maybe even a little easier), written by the youthfully exuberent of Michigan. There is one significant change in the tournament. It will actually not be a normal 4v4, but instead be 2 against 2. The thought was that a number of people who expressed interest might not have been able to field whole teams, so this way we can keep things interesting. If you want to come play and do not have a partner, we can pair you up with someone. (There are a number of fine players who have expressed interest in playing this tournament). Because it will be 2 on 2, the tossup answers will be somewhat more accessable than last year's Kleist debacle, but we can assure you, that the bonuses will be as challenging as one would like. In light of people's enjoyment of this year's catered lunch at NAQT ICT, there will be chips and salsa provided free of charge by the tournament directors. Various levels of spiciness will be represented, from mild to berdichevsky (if youve had his salsa, you'd understand). The fee structure will be as follows: 75 dollars per team of two -10 per buzzer -10 for every 100 miles over 200 travelling to get here -10 for being liked -10 for bringing the moderators alcohol -10 dollars for homemade salsa Minimum fee is 40 dollars To those of you that emailed me, thank you very much. To those of you that haven't, I hope you do. For those that like academic questions, we're hoping that this tournament will be academic Xanadu (the pleasure dome). comments/questions/gripes/photos of you and that Gorilla on Halloween last year: paul_litvak_at_...
