Post by Potatoes »

I am pleased to announce that Northern Illinois University will host the Northern Illinois US Academic Bee and Bowl on April 2nd, 2016.

Location
Both the Bee and Bowl events will be hosted in DuSable Hall.

Format
The Bowl is a team event with up to four players playing at one time. A round consists of 14 tossups and up to 14 bonuses, and lightning rounds at halftime. The Bee is an individual event that only consists of tossups. More information about the formats can be found here

Schedule of events
Tentative information about the schedule can be found here

Registration and fees
Registration is done online. The registration form is available here
The form will also calculate your total cost.

Fee structure
First Bowl team is free!
2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. bowl team: $65 per team
2 person bowl team: $50
1 person bowl team: $25
$10 per Bee individual

Staffer policy
As with NHBB tournaments, if a school brings 1 or 2 teams, they must provide at least 1 staffer. If they bring 3 or 4 teams, they must provide at least 2 staffers and so on.

There is a $50 penalty per required staffer not provided.

We're excited to be hosting this new event, and are looking forward to seeing you in DeKalb in April!
