IHOP IV (2/14/15)

[phoebecaulfield]

Irvine Quiz Bowl is excited to announce its fourth annual IHOP (Irvine High Operation Pandemonium) tournament.

LOCATION: Irvine High School, 4321 Walnut Avenue, Irvine, CA 92604. The matches themselves will take place in the Humanities Building.

DATE: The tournament will be held on Saturday, February 14th. Check-in will begin at 8:00 am in HLG, and the first round should begin around 9 am. Schedules and roster confirmation sheets will be available after check-in.

FORMAT: The tournament will be using the NAQT IS-138. The tournament will adhere to Official NAQT Rules--with the exception that each round will be run as two untimed, 10-question halves--with a preliminary round robin followed by reseeding based on results from the round robin phase. Seeding in the individual sub-brackets will be determined by the overall win-loss record. Ties for reseedings will be resolved based on points per game, followed by points per bonus.

As stated in the NAQT HSNCT (High School National Championship Tournament) qualification rules, the top 15% of the field will qualify for the 2015 HSNCT.
This tournament has also received the PACE Gold Certification, so the top 20% of teams will qualify for the PACE NSC.


ELIGIBILITY: All high school students are welcome to attend.

PRICING STRUCTURE:
Base fee = $80 for one team, $70 per team after the first.
$40 for any team that has not competed in a decent, mACF-style or NAQT tournament in the past 2 years.

Discounts will be given as follows:
-$5 for each fully-functional buzzer system (must have at least four working buzzers on both sides)
-$5 for traveling distances over 50 miles, one-way, according to Google Maps
-$5 moderator discount

Minimum fee = $60/team (unless new team)
