Duke University Quiz Bowl is pleased to announce that it will be hosting According to Proust: Reality Is Love, Flying Over Our Lives, an mACF packet-submission tournament to be held on the lovely, if tree-infested, West Campus of Duke University September 31, 2002. The tournament format will be simple: One game will be held in each (academic) building on West Campus, with the winners of each 20/20 untimed round moving one building clockwise, except in Allen Building where the loser leaves instead. The winner of the Round 12 game in Allen is the champion! Also, there will be a "super" power (to be explained in more detail later). PACKET GUIDELINES: Since this is a Proust-themed tournament, the packet guidelines are somewhat different from the norm: --- 2/2 Proust (his life, his works, etc.) 2/2 France and French (French grammar, French history, other French literature, etc.) 1/1 Pop culture/trash of Proust's lifetime 5/5 History 4/4 Science 2/2 Literature 4/4 Squishy science (psychology, sociology, etc.) 1/1 Extra in any of the above four --- Also, we will be playing the "super" power tossup: Each question should remain as nonsepecific as possible for as long as possible; the power mark will be the first uniquely identifying clue. The reward for a "super" power is 15 points plus a doubling of the first fifteen points of the associated bonus (so 10 points => 20, but 20 points => 35). FEES: base fee $85 experienced moderator -$20 inexperienced moderator -$2 travel discount -$(miles over 250)/10 Summarize Proust winner -$15 (goes to the girl with the biggest tits) buzzer system (-$2) x number of working lockouts (up to 8 per system, sorry Maryland) PACKET DISCOUNTS/PENALTIES -$30 for a packet received by close of business TODAY, April 1 -$10 for a packet received by Aug. 25 -$5 for a packet received by Sept. 1 +$0 for a packet received by Sept. 8 +$5 for a packet received by Sept. 15 +$(fee) after that We hope that with your support, we can make this tournament a success! See you in September! --Andrew Feist, TD, AP:RIL,FOOL
