## Introduction
The list of phrases (and don't make any individual phrase very long) needs to be semicolon-separated text,

The list of phrases (and don't make any individual phrase very long)
needs to be semicolon-separated text, with a small bit of LaTeX

added a vice-presidential list too, but the relevant words will always
change.

The LaTeX file, when run, will take the list, pick 24 at random

For those wholly new to TikZ, the second number of the pair is a y-coordinate for the line,

If you trim the cell to two lines, you will want to change the y-values to be more centered.
And note there is a `\renewcommand` you can uncomment for a totally generic "Free Space" square.

## The Master Checklist
The python script parses the entire list and provides a ```longtable``` checklist for the moderator to use
when evaluating a given event.

So, from a terminal on your machine of choice, run
```shell
python makechecklist.py

And if you've got all the files where they are supposed to be, it will form up the guts of the checklist.

Next, compile ```bingochecklist.tex``` a few times and you'll be good to go.
You need to compile the TeX file at least twice because it uses ```longtable```, and column widths are determined
dynamically over the course of a few LaTeX compiles.
