The DEADLINE to register is just four weeks away (2/9/19). You are encouraged to pre-register at your earliest convenience at the link below (let me know if you have any problems using the NAQT online registration system):
https://www.naqt.com/registration/fees. ... t_id=10134
Basic Information:
- We will be using NAQT Set 29, and this event will be held on Saturday, 2/16/19.
- Doors open at 8AM, and registration from 8-8:30AM in the cafeteria.
- Morning rounds 1-5 will run from approximately 9:00-12:30, followed by a break for lunch. After the lunch break, individual awards will be distributed and then we will move into the playoff rounds to determine our overall winners. The morning rounds will seed our bracket for afternoon playoffs.
- We will use funds from an NAQT outreach grant to distribute free NAQT question sets and study materials for new programs attending their first event.
- This will be a qualifying event for the 2019 Middle School National Championship Tournament (MSNCT) held in Chicago, IL from May 10-12.
- Additionally! We will give away a FREE $320 buzzer system from the phenomenal people at www.buzzersystems.com. In my opinion, these are the best lockout buzzers available, and this is what we have used at WSMS since I first started sponsoring the Quiz Bowl Club. The only schools that are eligible to win are those that do not currently own a buzzer system. The system will be awarded to the highest scoring team (of eligible schools) after the morning rounds conclude. Ideally, this giveaway will help promote more active middle school quiz bowl programs in our area, which is the primary goal of this tournament.

Thank you. We look forward to seeing you in February!
