Hi, Unfortunately, it looks as though one of our teams may have dissolved, but I'll let you know for sure in a day or so. Also, we got an e-mail from an ...
... One of the Waterloo teams only has 3 players on it and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't mind accommodating a fourth. I can tell you 100% for sure next Monday,...
Yes, as far as I know the field is still Waterloo x2, UofT x3/4, Guelph x1, UWO, and technically a Mac x2. Ohio backed out. As for packet submission, I know...
Hi, that's no problem, it'll be a somewhat smaller tournament it seems. Oh well, easier to manage! I've not heard of any 3-person teams yet, but I'll let you...
... I just double-checked and Waterloo A has a 3-player roster and is willing to pick up a solo player (if (s)he doesn't mind the mediocrity that is Waterloo A...
Hey all, seeing as VETO is next Sat, I figured I'd give a brief update about things. As it stands, the roster is McMaster x2, Guelph x1, Waterloo x2, Western...
Hi all, Just to clarify, if we've submitted our packets to the editing staff for VETO, then do we need to print out copies of it and bring them with us to...
Hey all, just a friendly reminder, VETO is this Saturday. For those of you attending the Hamilton mirror, which should be UofTx3, UWx2, UGx2, Macx3 (refresh me...
Hi, U of T will have four teams. Also, the player we were going to donate to one of the Waterloo teams will be on our fourth team. Thanks a lot; we'll see you...
Hey all, in case you need help with directions tomorrow morning, here's my cell number (which is being activated for the first time since Feb.), and you can...
Hello, At the Ottawa site of VETO, "Trivia Hall of Fame" cleared the field with an 8-0 record. The next best team was 5-3, so their championship was declared...
Back in 1999, VETO was conceived as a laid back summer tournament. It was held on the rooftop at SFU with mountains in the background. See the photo at...

Dear Canadian Quizbowlers, Quizbowl is changing. Three years ago I was an incoming freshman to the University of Minnesota, a school in the center of an upper...
I guess count my vote for Mike Bentley at the Vancouver site. I was curious to see the poll results but I couldn't without voting. Thanks, Andrew Hart,...
Andrew, You might have a point if there really was a cohort of young Canadian quiz-bowlers who prefer the "new" style. But other than Jason D, Peter B, and...
At VETO in Vancouver, we had six teams. First we played a round-robin, with these results: 1. FARSIDE 4-1 2. Washington 4-1 3. Oregon 4-1 4. Battery Acid...
Hello, You may not know this, but the post-VETO summer is usually the time when I start up my stockpile of (replacement) questions for the following year's...
I support all the things that have been proposed here, should they be put into effect, and both I and the rest of the Guelph team would play this. That said, I...
Personally, I thought Hybrid (as it was last year) was fine and doesn't need to change. That said, I would like to make two comments. One is about something...
Great news! Guelph will most certainly be attending this, with as many teams as possible. In related news, Guelph has been given the go-ahead to mirror the...
More great news! I think McMaster is planning for a TRASH-style tournament for Aug. 29ish. More details will follow when my team tells me what's happening....
I agree that Hybrid enjoyable in it's current format, and that the questions shouldn't be longer. I personally don't have a problem with blending TRASH and...
Hi everyone, VETO might have been disappointing to a majority of us, so let's forget about it with a TRASH bender. Who is free on August 29th 2009 for: Must Go...
Waterloo will definitely be sending a team out to this (even if I have to solo*, though I know Jeff Baer has already expressed interest). I am going to send...
