MSOCT II NAQT MS-18 Columbus, Ohio 4/9/2016 OQBA

Post by crbirdx »

You are cordially invited to the 2nd annual MSOCT (MS OHIO Championship Tournament) (NAQT-MS-18) @ St. Charles Prep HS in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday April 9th, 2016. The initial field cap will be 16 teams, but I will try to open that up if there is interest and I can secure enough competent readers. We have decided to wait list B/C teams since we only have 8 rooms.

Teams will be broken into 2 preliminary brackets of 8 teams each and will play round robin. At the conclusion of morning play, teams will be re-bracketed into 4 brackets of 4 to play another match with similar teams, with the top 2 teams at the conclusion of afternoon play for the tournament championship if needed. Every team will be guaranteed 8 rounds. There will be at least one MSNCT bid awarded.


FEES:
First Team: $50
Each Additional Team: $40
BUZZER DISCOUNT: -$5 per buzzer system, limit one per team that you are bringing.
MODERATOR DISCOUNT: -$10 for a competent moderator. Please let me know in advance if you are planning to claim this discount.
If your team has not played a pyramidal tournament between September 1, 2012 and September 1, 2015, you automatically qualify for the minimum entry fee of $40.
MINIMUM Fee: $40
If your team has economic hardships please email me and explain the situation and we can accommodate for further discounts if needed.

BONUS ANNOUNCEMENT: For those of you with high school teams, Alex Connor from St. Charles will be running the NAQT High School State Championship on the same day, also on site at St. Charles. You can email him at connor.alexATgoogle.com for more information.

For clarity: middle school state championships do not have the "there is always at least new nationals qualifier" rule we use for high school events. (That being said, we welcome wildcard bids from teams interested in attending MSNCT.)
