We are pleased to announce that the UK pop culture tournament SOTON TRASH (Southampton's Own: Trash Or Nothing - Top Reasons for Accidentally Saying Horse-chestnut), written and edited by members of the society, will be held at the University of Southampton on Saturday, June 28, 2025. This tournament is open to both students and non-students alike, though we would like as many student teams as possible and space will be reserved for entirely student teams (who can be, but do not have to be, from the same institution).
The tournament will take place in the university's Avenue Campus (Building 65), located a direct bus route from Southampton Central station and a 10-minute walk from the bus interchange. The opening meeting will begin at 10am and gameplay will begin at 10:15, with Jamie as the tournament director and Daniel as the safeguarding officer.
The set distribution, with packets of 22/22, is as follows, although we reserve the right to change this:
Film and TV 4/4
Music 4/4
Sport 3/3
Games 3/3
Internet Culture 2/2
Literature (including comic books/graphic novels etc) 1/1
Lifestyle (including but not limited to celebrity culture, fashion, advertising and food and drink) 1/1
Other Media (including but not limited to theatre, radio, podcasts and stand-up comedy) 1/1
Common Link 2/2
Miscellaneous 1/1
The cost per team will be £100, with potential discounts of £5 per functioning lockout buzzer system (to a maximum of £20 - you will also only receive this if your set is actually used).
