Count Chocula's Toilet Bowl IV took place on July 23, 2005 at SFU
Harbour Centre with 6 participants from SFU, UBC, Boston University
and local trivia aficionados. Questions were from the University of
Tennessee-Chattanooga's 2005 RC Cola tournament.

It was agreed that with so few players, the tournament would be run as
a singles tournament, but with full tossup-bonus cycles. Since 3 packs
had questions from Boston University students, those were not used. 4
preliminary rounds were played between the 6 players, each round
consisting of 2 packs, followed by a 1 pack final between the winners
of those 4 preliminary rounds (and a wildcard). It was also agreed
that rather than stopping at the 20th tossup of each pack, all the
tossups in each pack would be read. Due to limited numbers of bonuses
(and the possibility of everyone laming and getting many tossups)
bonus lames were not used.

Players:
Carlos Hernandez-Fisher
Hanson Ho
Brendan Newton
Jack Brounstein
Bruce Lin
Dean Morrison
