Sue Pasco Opening Tournament (9/24/11 at Essex, VT HS))
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:36 am
The Vermont-NEA Scholars' Bowl will be running the 13th annual Sue Pasco Opening Tournament at Essex High School in Essex Junction, Vt., on Saturday, Sept. 24.
This is our annual kickoff tournament -- a semi-formal event, featuring candy prizes and primarily intending to serve as an introduction to the season for Vermont teams. However, will be gladly welcome any schools from outside the state interested in joining us.
We hold this tournament in conjunction with our league coaches meeting, and the format is dependent on the number of readers available. If we get enough volunteers, we will start during the meeting and play 8-10 matches about 20 minutes in length. If not, we hold some kind of collective competition during the meeting and likely run eight shorter matches once the meeting ends and the coaches can help moderate games.
This tournament will serve as an NAQT HSNCT qualifier, but to keep costs to a minimum, we're using IS-101A, a set from last season. Any school that has purchased or played on that set is ineligible to participate.
The tournament is free for all members of the Vermont Scholars' Bowl. We ask any out-of-state schools to pay $5 per team to help defray our question costs. The registration deadline is Sept. 20.
If your interested in registering or have any other questions, contact me, Kevin Commo, at [email protected].
