by nationalhistorybeeandbowl » Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:13 am
Hi Everyone,
I’m pleased to announce that Ridgewood High School will be hosting the Ridgewood Summer Open on July 6-8 at Ridgewood High School in Ridgewood, NJ. These tournaments are open to everyone from middle school to those long since graduated from college. Ridgewood High School has generously given us the run of the place from Friday afternoon through (likely) Sunday afternoon to host copious amounts of quizbowl. Here’s a current tentative plan, subject to change pending interest:
Friday afternoon/evening (beginning around 5pm or so) –
Open packet submission tournament, if there is enough interest (i.e. make your own teams – no need to limit yourself to who was/is on your high school or college team). Please power mark the set, and write to an HSNCT level of difficulty. Keep tossups to 525 characters or less, please, including spaces. Distribution is:
4/4 Lit (1 US, 1 European, 1 non Western, 1 your choice)
4/4 Science (1 Bio, 1 Chem, 1 Physics, 1 something else)
4/4 History (1 US, 1 Modern or High Medieval European [1000<], 1 non Western, 1 ancient defined as until 1000 CE anywhere)
1/1 Geography
1/1 Current Events
1/1 Other Social Science (psych, anthro, soc, etc.)
2/2 Religion, Myth, Philosophy
1/1 Art (including performing arts)
1/1 Music
1/1 Trash
1/1 Your Choice of 1 Lit, Science, or History
Saturday (beginning around 10am or so; lasting until about 7-8pm) – edited for clarity @ 2:55pm on 6/14
Mirror of ATTACK (i.e. the set Adam Silverman wrote) – teams solely by high school affiliation, including for those long and not so long since graduated (with the exception of current HS coaches who can play with their team members!). There will be some sort of divisional classification so as not to frighten the children. If there is interest from teams who would like to come to this, but who have heard ATTACK, let me know, and I will likely be able to get my hands on an additional set.
Sunday (beginning around 10am or so; lasting until about 6-7pm) – edited for clarity @ 2:55pm on 6/14
Ridgewood Summer Set – this is being written as we speak. I will edit everything non-science. If anyone would like to help with science editing, please let me know. This set will be power marked and be of moderate high school difficulty. Teams will be done by high school and/or college affiliation; graduating seniors can play with either their high school or college. Those who are beyond graduating senior in age, though, have to play with their college affiliation (either undergrad or grad). The college division can also have teams that consist of alumni, however, these would be classified under a different set of teams from all undergrad. Provided there is enough interest to run a college division here, I will edit the version of the set that division uses to be somewhat more difficult.
Rough Distribution for this (will have exact by June 25, but this is an RMP/Fine Arts heavy set, given the tastes of Ridgewood QB)
4/4 Lit
4/4 History
4/4 Science
3/3 Fine Arts
1/1 Social Science
2.5/2.5 RMP
1.5/1.5 Geo,Trash,Current Events
