NOTES

Bonus Points The FOLLOWING IS A LIST PF WAYS TO BET BONUS POINTS: A. Donate blood — 120 pts [or have given in the last 3 months, etc.] B. Volunteer at the con — 9 pts/hour worked C. Copy your answers onto an answer sheet and turn it in along with your book - 50 pts. D. Collect different stickies from any convention bidders, clubs or organizations 'attending* this convention — 2 pts./unlque stickle. E. write down the membership number of other people on your team — 3 pts. per unique number. F. Voting for the next Worldcon — 10 pts. G. Get one of the hard-to-find Mystery Stickers: you'll need to check into the LACon Ill/Sector General Trivial Olympics headquarters (in a Hilton ballroom) to find out what this sticker looks like and learn where to get them — 7pts.

Never use two words where one will do; a short correct answer is better than a long, vague answer. One correct last name is better than a correct last name and an incorrect first name...Trivia questions (including the extra-credit) are worth 2 pts.; wrong answers count -1 against you! There is only potential mockery for the biggest "negative score" Rules are subject to change (’check in!*) and the decisions of the Trivial Olympics Committee are final.

Note: you MAY leave the stamps and stickies in your booklets and still be eligible for the 50 pt. bonus for copying your answers onto an answer sheet—we just want to avoid having to check the answers of a billion teeny booklets answered in micro-type!
