Gladiator Open: March 23, 2013 in Elm Grove, WI
Hello, ladies and gentlemen:
St. Mary's Visitation School in Elm Grove, WI is pleased to announce that we will host Gladiator Open 2013 on Saturday, March 23, 2013. This is an open junior high (grades 6-8) quiz bowl tournament to played on NAQT's MS-06 question set. We follow NAQT rules except that instead of timed halves, we will play two ten-tossup halves with bonuses.
The entry fee is $60 per team, with a $10 discount for bringing a working buzzer system and a $10 discount on a second (and subsequent) team. I'll guarantee you at least six games, but you will most likely get eight or nine.
This will, as usual, be a qualifier for MSNCT in April. You can, as usual, email me at: mfalk, followed by the at symbol, stmaryeg, dot, org.
Thanks! We hope to see you at SMV in March.
