Logistics

The field for the Louisiana Tech site will be capped at 8-12 teams, depending on how the staffer and buzzer situations shape up. We will be using ACF rules for everything except the power marks. We plan to offer 8-12 rounds, depending on how many team register. The tournament will end in the 5-6 PM range. Registration will be at 8:00 AM and the tournament will start at 8:30 AM.

Registration and Fees

Base Fee: $100 per team
Buzzer discount: -$5 per buzzer (it looks like we'll only need like one buzzer, so we'll max this at one per team)
Staffer discount: -$20 for a (good, experienced) reader or -$10 for a scorekeeper
Travel discount: -$10 per 200 miles one-way (per google maps)

Minimum Fee: $45 per team

Payment is required before or on the day of the tournament in the form of check or cash. Make checks payable to “Louisiana Tech Quiz Bowl Team.”

Please start getting your packets in ASAP if you plan to play this tournament. To register, email ncollins93 AT gmail DOT com with your school, number of teams, buzzers, and staffers.
