Matt's Buzzers
Hey all,
With a new season starting, I just wanted to remind everyone of the existence of Matt's Buzzers. You can find further info at http://www.mattsbuzzers.com/.
It's a really great service set up in the memory of Matt Cvijanovich, a quiz bowl player for Iowa State and Illinois who passed away in 2005.

You're sure it's still operational, right? The website only lists grant recipients in 2005-08.

Man, that would disqualify a whole lot of quizbowlers throughout the country if that were a more prevalent "rule."

Re: Matt's Buzzers
Thanks to the funds raised from the Sir Dupre Memorial Tournament, there will be two "second chance" drawings for $150. My understanding is that schools who applied for a December grant, but were turned down, will be eligible.
Re: Matt's Buzzers
Sonoraville HS out of Calhoun, GA won a $220 grant. The funds came from participants in the post-ATROPHY doubles tournament last weekend.
