Pricing will be as follows:

+$65 Base fee per team
-$10 Discount for each additional team from the same school
-$5 Discount per school for each working buzzer system provided

To register, or if you have any questions, please contact Rebecca Fischer at: rebecca-fischer AT northwestern DOT edu

Rebecca--I can probably bring 3 teams if you would like 9 (8 team round robin) teams.

Is there any way a last minute plea can be sent to other schools to come to this? I doubt every school is going to Lincoln-Way East, so I have to believe some teams are planning on sitting at home on Saturday.

Though the lack of revenue is unfortunate for Northwestern, who deserves better, and the lack of exposure to IS is unfortunate for Illinois teams, this will be a fun tournament to play. If it is similar to last week's tournament, with a 7-match round robin followed by a 3-match round robin (top four teams and bottom four teams in separate divisions), or something along those lines, then a good time will be had by all.

Anxiously awaiting the announcement of Junior Wildcat I (OK, I just made that name up)....

Thanks to all the teams who came, and congratulations to New Trier, our champions. Team and individual stats can be found here: http://groups.northwestern.edu/quizbowl ... dings.html.

Thanks for hosting this, we had a good time.

Do you know what the scores for the playoff games were? Just wondering for our records.

[David Riley]

Jack--

I got 'em.

[EverlastingWrane]

Sorry for the delay- we've finally uploaded full stats from the playoffs, if anyone is curious. They can be found on the same website mentioned above.
