Hello, everyone:
As has been the case the last two years, I will again be hosting a fun-filled, team trivia contest at the NASC on Saturday, August 1. Everyone is welcome to participate--even people not involved in the NASC. The cost to enter is a measly $5 US per person. Teams can have a maximum of seven players. You may form a team. If you arrive solo I will assign you to a team. (Anyone who sits at a players' table must be a paid member of the team. No exceptions!)
I will return 90% of the entry fees as prize money. The remainder goes to offset the cost of photocopying and other materials. The event should last anywhere from 90 to 120 minutes. There were 73 participants last year in Buffalo. There was very positive feedback!
