CATT XI (Johns Creek, GA) - 11/7/15

Chattahoochee High School is pleased to announce the 11th Annual CATT (Chattahoochee Academic Team Tournament).
Our tournament will be held on November 7th, at Chattahoochee High School:

5230 Taylor Road
Johns Creek, GA 30022

We will have two divisions: Varsity and JV. Both divisions will play with the same rules. We are planning on a field cap of 56 total teams.

Each team will play around 6 preliminary rounds, and a single-elimination playoff with the final four playing a round robin. Ties in the final four round robin will be broken by head-to-head, then PPG. Trophies/plaques will go to the top 4 teams in each division.

The cost will be $65 per team, and $60 for each additional team sent. Lunch will be served after the 5th prelim round. Registration payment can be brought in the day of the tournament or mailed ahead of time.

There will be a $5 discount for each working buzzer system (limit 2). Coaches interested in reading will get a $5 discount for their team and free lunch. Coaches who volunteer to read only have to read during the prelim rounds. Contact [email protected] if you are interested.

Rules:

We will be mirroring BASK which is a regular difficulty high school set. Details on the set can be found at this post.

Rounds are 20/20 with one tiebreaker tossup if needed. Both divisions will use powers (15) and negs (-5). Five players are allowed per team. We will use bouncebacks, and substitutes are allowed at the half.

We will then hold a single-elimination playoff (16 teams for Varsity and 8 teams for JV). In both divisions, the final four will then play a round robin for the championship. Ties will be broken by head-to-head and then PPG.

The tournament should conclude at around 5:00 PM for Varsity and 4:30 PM for JV.

We will be using powers (15), tens (10), and negs (-5) for both divisions. We will have no bouncebacks on bonuses. We are also planning on keeping individual stats.

You have 5 seconds to buzz after a question is dead, 5 seconds to begin an answer after you buzz, and 5 seconds to confer on each bonus part or designate another player to begin an answer.
