I could've sworn I already posted a topic about this weeks ago but it appears to be gone...


The MSU Quiz Bowl Club will be hosting the 2008 MSU Fall Tournament, held on the
campus of Mississippi State University on October 4, 2008. The tournament will
use NAQT packet 78-A.

This is our second annual fall tournament. Jackson Prep was our winner last
year, and statistics from last year's tournament can be found here:

The tournament will be run with NAQT rules, found here:
http://www.naqt.com/rules.html.
The only exception to the rules is that the matches will not be untimed, but run
in two 10-question halves.

The fee for the tournament is $60 per team, with a $10 discount for bringing a
working buzzer seat. Also, schools from outside Mississippi will receive an
additional $10 discount. You may pay on the date of the tournament, or mail your
check to:
