Collins Hill Middle School Tournament (Suwanee, GA) 3/8/14

[scottkim]

Collins Hill High School is proud to announce the 1st Annual Collins Hill Middle School Tournament on Saturday, March 8th, 2014.

QUESTIONS:
The Tournament will use NAQT set MS-10 and the top 15% of the field will qualify for the NAQT Middle School National Championship Tournament in Atlanta in May. All teams are guaranteed at least five preliminary rounds and the top teams will compete in a single-elimination playoff. (number of teams advancing to the playoffs will depend on the size of the field)
* Playoff seeds will be sorted by W-L and PPG.

FORMAT:
Each round will consist of 16 tossups with 3 part bonus questions. We will use powers but will not use interrupt penalties (negs). Bouncebacks will be used on bonuses.
*Each team will play with 4 players at a time with substitutions between rounds and at halftime.

Registration will begin at 8 AM and we hope to start Round 1 at 8:45. Lunch will be served on campus after Round 5. Lunch will be provided for a cost of $5. Please do not leave campus as the nearest restaurants are over 3 miles away and there will be a quick turnaround between the prelims and the playoffs. Teams who are not in their Round 6 rooms in time will forfeit the round. The entire tournament should be over before 5 PM.

FEE STRUCTURE:
The registration fee for the tournament will be $65 for the first team and $60 for each additional team. There is a $5 discount for bringing a working set of buzzers (limit 2). The registration fee will increase to $75 per team after February 25th, 2014 unless prior arrangements have been made.

PAYMENT:
Checks should be made out to CHHS Academic Team and can be mailed to the school at 50 Taylor Road, Suwanee, GA 30024.

If you have a question regarding the tournament, please let me know via email at scott_kim AT gwinnett.k12.ga.us or contact me through the forum.
