How long did it take you to write questions for an ENTIRE tournament?
If push comes to shove, we need the money, Truman needs the publicity, and/or there's time, I'll blow off the summer writing questions for a possible HS tournament dubbed "DobberStock" up here!

well the way we do it here is. write 3 TU and 3 boni a week and read them in practice. this turns into Bill writing 300 question in 4 days

I just took the onus of writing on myself; I wrote 6 rounds in a week. Also, I may be spending my winter break writing for Mizzou as we may try to host some spring tournament(s) to help pay for Nationals. (We've been invited to TRASHIONALS and I think we have a shot at going to NAQT for the fourth year in a row, although we're still looking for our first legit invitation, as our previous three invites were Division II, host bid, and standby).

for each of our tournaments these last couple of years, it probably took me a combined total of 30-35 hours, including editing.
