This is really awesome that multiple NAQT tournaments are being held in SE Pennsylvania this year, and if I'm available that day I would be glad to help moderate.

Since these are only 30 miles apart, teams should note that this was the same set of questions used in the _JV_ division of Wilmington Charter's November tournament. A student who played in varsity that day and was not exposed to the JV questions should still be fine.

Great Valley's GVQBT was just awarded gold certification by PACE. Thus, the top 20% of our field will qualify for the national high school quiz bowl championship on May 24-25 in Washington, D.C.

We still have space available for the tournament so please e-mail [email protected] for more information.

Since Delaware won't be going to ICT, I'd be more than happy to lend an hand moderating at this tournament.
