Hosted Tournaments
Deep in the hood of Los Angeles...
A war has erupted...

GHETTO WARZ is the USC Quiz Bowl college invitational tournament
which will be held on April 17, 2004. Ghetto Warz is a packet-submission
tournament with a question breakdown similar to what you would encounter
at most other tournaments, though there are a few twists (check here for
question breakdown and notes). The tournament is open to ALL ADULTS, even if
they are not currently attending college. Bastard teams are also acceptable.
The tournament will begin at approximately 9:00 AM, and finish some time
in the evening. Packets will contain 26 toss-ups and 26 bonuses and will be due
Tuesday, April 6, at 11:59 PM. If your school is sending multiple teams,
make sure the packets are blind between teams.
Rounds will be timed, with 10 minute halves.
This is because our previous experience has shown that untimed tournaments
have a knack for running late; this is an annoyance to both players
and tournament coordinators alike.
