We will be applying for HSNCT, SSNCT and PACE certification for this event.
Please indicate if you are a small-school based on NAQT small-school certification standards when you register your team(s).

Contact: Jay Fogarty ([email protected]) cell ( 603-848-7629) with your team numbers, applicable discounts, and pizza order if you plan to register for this event.

There is no IS #177A. Please contact [email protected] to discuss your needs.

Ok, will do. We were under the assumption that that would be the next set in the series coming out.

Our 2017-18 sets ended with IS #175A. The first two sets in sequence for the fall will be #176A (introductory set) and #177 (regular-difficulty set), so we wanted to check in and make sure we knew what kind of set was needed here.

Hey Jeff,
Chad took care of us! Thank you. 176A is the choice.

This is the current field as it reads.

PACE has granted this tournament "gold" status. The top 20 percent of the field will qualify for PACE NSC in June.

Invoices are being sent to teams to prepare for the event. Please note that an additional email is being sent in regard to invoices.

We currently have 13 teams which leaves room for 3 more. We would love to get this up to 16. Logistics for all teams registered will be sent later in the week.

Registration is now closed with 12 teams.

PAQT 2 was a great day. Thanks to all the teams that visited PRHS.
