Casey Young Memorial Tournament 10-8-16

Post by Church51907 »

U of L will host the Casey Young Memorial Tournament on October 8th, 2016 in the Humanities Building on our main campus. We have a soft cap of 24 teams and will give priority to A and B teams. The tournament will use NAQT IS-159 A and will follow NAQT rules. Please note, this is the same set used at the University of Charleston Fall kick off tournament in September.
This tournament was formerly known as the A & S Academic Challenge, but we have renamed the tournament after Casey Young. Casey was a member of the U of L Quiz Bowl team and a member of the Simon Kenton team. He tragically passed away this summer. He was one of the friendliest, most intelligent, and personable players to come through our program and an even better person. We have renamed the tournament in his honor and memory.
Base entry fee is $70 per team with $10 discounts for providing working buzzers and $10 discounts for providing trained moderators. Checks should be made out to the University of Louisville and need to be sent by September 26th . I am attaching an entry form, which includes the mailing address for checks. If you plan on attending, please send me an e-mail with the number of teams and info on potential buzzer systems and moderators.
Currently, we have 19 teams registered and room for at least 5 more

SQBS is doing stupid things with the stats, but you can see the playoff stats here.

Of note is that Campbell defeated Manual A in a one game final to take first place.
