Piasa Bird Invite II @ Southwestern H.S. (Piasa, IL) 2/20/17
Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2016 2:40 pm
The Scholastic Bowl Team at Southwestern High School is pleased to announce that we will be hosting our second Piasa Bird Invitational on January 14, 2017 February 20, 2017. This is a reschedule due to the ice storm on 1/14/2017. It is also Presidents' Day. This is a varsity tournament but additional teams are welcome.
Format:
This tournament will feature the twenty tossup/bonus format using NAQT IS-155A. Games consist of twenty tossups worth ten points each followed by non-rebounding bonuses worth up to thirty points. Tossups will feature "powers" (additional points awarded for correct buzzes very early in the question). Negs will not be used.
For a 24 team field we will use four preliminary pools rebracket into two parallel playoff pools and four consolation pools (8 rounds). After Round 8, the top team from Championship Pool A will face off against the top team from Championship Pool B in a one game final, and the second place teams from the same pools will play a game for third place. Ties in the Championship Pools will be played off prior to the championship game.
Fees:
Base fee (first team from each school): $50
Second or subsequent teams: $45
Field Cap: 24 Teams
