Open mirror of NAQT HS NCT at UTC 6/20/09

Post by Your Genial Quizmaster »

Pardon the cross-posting, but this invitation extends to both high school and collegiate levels.

As previously announced, UTC will host a delayed open mirror of the NAQT High School Championship on Sat., June 20. Here are the promised details. Sorry to take so long – I was in another hemisphere for most of May.

Registration will begin at 9:30 AM on Sat. 6/20/09 in Holt 124 on the UTC campus in Chattanooga, and the tournament will begin at 10 AM. The tournament is open to anyone who hasn’t already heard the questions; mixed-affiliation or no-affiliation teams are welcome. All you have to do in advance is to let us know you’re coming. The registration fee is $80 per team, with our usual discounts ($10 per moderator, $5 for a buzzer.) We will follow standard NAQT rules with 1 1/2 exceptions:
Rounds will be untimed with 20 tossups per round.
Computation questions (both tossups and bonuses) will be used, unless both teams in the match agree before the match to forgo them.

Please contact us at utcquizbowl [at] gmail [dot] com if you're bringing a team or interested in playing as a free agent.

As for Sunday 6/21… we’ll either be mirroring a pre-existing trash tournament, or barring that we may just play the remaining HS NCT rounds. Stay tuned for further bulletins.
