Okay, all you beer snobs. Sure, you can BYOB if you bring enough for the panel of judges to appropriately evaluate alcohol content. Hotel has very limited selection (Corona, Corona, or AquaFina), so bring a case or two of the good stuff. That also helps us get around the reduced beer budget we had to live with the last two years, when we actually had to ration the beer.
This year, we will be accepting applications from both teams and individuals. We will likely hold a set of qualifying games Friday afternoon to allow unproven teams/people a chance to show off their skillz and advance into the late night tournament. (And it will give us a chance to beta test our new buzzer system.) Vanna Vinyl will not participate in the qualifying rounds; she's already in. ;)
TEAMS
Get together your team of 3 players and send the following to hackerjeopardy [at] gmail dot com:
1. Team Name (and slogan!)
2. Player Names/Handles, cell phone number to reach you during the con, and short (25-50 word) bio for each player. Leaders, don't forget to write your own!
3. 25-50 words on why "anything their team can do, your team can do better."
INDIVIDUALS
1. Player Name/Handle, cell phone number to reach you during the con and short (25-50 word) bio for yourself. If there is someone you want to be grouped with, but you don't have a third to make a complete team, make a note of this and we'll do our best to accommodate. We'll assemble the individuals into teams of 3.
General Guidelines:
* Team leaders must have their entire team assembled and ready to go in the reserved player area on Friday and Saturday nights. (Entering a team is a great way to get good reserved seats!)
* Contestant teams will be picked from those teams available and present at the contest at the beginning of each round on Friday and Saturday nights. (This is why you should make it to qualifiers, to show us how smart, entertaining, and prompt your team is.)
* Contestant teams must be available to play in the Final Round on Saturday night.
* Any questions, concerns or last minute entries may be sent to hackerjeopardy [at] gmail dot com or during the con in the Info Booth area.
