Re: NAQT Invitational Series Reconfiguration
Does this post apply to the upcoming "collegiate novice" tournaments?

It does not; the collegiate novice sets will remain 12 packets (as they were in 2015-16).

Re: NAQT Invitational Series Reconfiguration
Given that hosts are now buying considerably fewer questions, will there be a similar change in the pricing of these sets?

(Notes:
-We have increased our payment rates for writers and editors this year.
-Very few tournaments (on the order of 2-3 events per competition year) were actually using the 14th packet of questions in an IS set.
Given those facts, we felt that cutting back to a maximum of 13 packets per set was a better choice than raising our prices.)
