[KLUG Members] Meeting 2003-10-28 - Geek Jeopardy!!!

[members@kalamazoolinux.org]

Everyone - other LUGs, other technical groups, etc... - are invited to
send a team to this years 2003 Geek Jeopardy event. Just let me know
your coming - programdirector@kalamazoolinux.org Come celebrate the true
joy of being geek - knowing all that minutia, arcana, and esoteric
information that is so handy when drafting new pick-up lines! This years
categories are sure to result in a cornucopia of sardonic quips,
mythopoetical exclamations, and maybe even a few broken spectacles. What
more thrilling scene is there than the victor's squeels of pure
geeker-joy while the defeated shout curses at them in a combination of
Klingon and Sindarin? Players: Up to four team members per round, you
can switch out as many players as you want between rounds. Each team is
permitted two substitutions per round at any point. An accidental third
subsitition will cost the team 2048 points in the single jeopardy round,
and 4096 points in the double jeopardy round. Any additional substition
will cost the team 10,248 points, regardless of the round. No
substitions are permitted during final jeopardy. Closed book, no laptops
(Bruce!). Team with the final highest (positive scores only [$score 0],
not absolute value [!abs($score)]) score wins. The 2003 Geek Jeopardy
