Trash Quizbowl Packet Archive



This is a cover page meant to ensure that anyone hoping to read this packet for themselves will not have the first question spoiled upon opening. While you’re here, enjoy these notes regarding what to expect.Toss-ups will not reference any material that is later than Season 17. This is not the same for bonuses, although I’ve created multiple in-roads for questions so that you will not be punished simply by virtue of not having viewed the later seasons which by the way are just fine and feature some of the most superior comedic writing on television. Toss-ups in this packet will be on characters, specific episodes, locations, and common links. Please be advised that episode toss-ups will require the specific name of the episode in question; if I or your moderator feels that the question is in danger of dropping after having been read all the way though, certain detailed descriptions may be deemed acceptable. This is at the discretion of myself or whomever happens to be moderating in your case, although I would advise not doing this if another player has already negged while trying to pull the name of a specific episode since that doesn’t really seem fair to them.There are no powers in this packet.This is a 20/20 packet with one tie-breaker toss-up and one extra bonus in case of any extraordinary circumstances or mishaps.
