I don't really want to go to Hamilton, and since I haven't played since last year's VETO I'm hardly an actual member of the club anyway, but I could also help write questions if any are needed. History and religion/mythology are my usual areas. (Crusades theme pack? Anyone? No? Oh well.)

Like Sinan, I offer my help to any team that might need questions (I
will do lit., fine arts, or soc. sci.). I'm going to defer my place to
newer competitors this time around, but if your team is stuck for a
fourth player, let me know and I can join you.
I should add to Jessica's announcement that this tournament is an
excellent opportunity for those of you who came to practices this
season but did not attend any tournaments. VETO is laid-back,
cost-free, and you’ll also get a chance to receive peer feedback on
your questions (as opposed to submitting to a distant editor).
Hope everyone is having a good summer,
Jason
