* NO prizes
unless privately sponsored by participants. In past
years participants have offered up prizes for such
things as Best Packet, Best Question, Best Theme Packet,
Most Valuable Player, Best Team Name, Ugliest Neg, and
Best Prize. Of course, you don't have to sponsor a
prize if you don't want to.

But WAIT there's
MORE---Name That Tune!

Since the Name That Tune round
at the recent BASQUE tournament was well received,
we will entertain submissions from anyone who wants
to put together a Name That Tune audio round for the
QuESADILLA attendees.

We can provide boombox-style
stereos to play audio rounds which have been assembled on
a tape or CD. If you want to use a computer setup,
you'd probably better bring your own.

Audio
rounds should consist of 20-40 brief audio samples.
Other than that, there are no guidelines, but we
suggest you try to cover a broad spectrum of music,
and/or provide some truth in labeling. In other words,
if you want to put together an entire round of '80s
metal bands and Gregorian chants, at least let players
know what they're signing up for.
