We put in a bid to host once again, but I haven't heard anything.

Lee-

Are you going to have a JV division for this tourney?

by **quizbowllee** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 2:01 pm

I haven't decided about a JV division... If there is sufficient interest, then we will likely have one.

by **Matthew D** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 3:24 pm

Lee, I would like to have two JV teams and 2 varsity if that helps

by **Joshua Rutsky** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 9:29 pm

Hoover will likely bring 2 Varsity and a JV team. Possibly two JV.

by **quizbowllee** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 10:38 am

Please let me know ASAP if you plan to attend.

This event is in serious jeopardy of being canceled due to lack of teams.

by **azngod1992** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 2:31 pm

ASFA would like to take 1 varsity (we could split it into two teams if you really need us to, our backup players need playing time) and 1 JV. I don't think my sponsor actually received a formal invitation or anything (at least not since last time I talked to her, about a week ago).

Actually, ASFA is one of the few teams I have heard from.

Right now:

ASFA
DAR
Possibly Hoover

Oh god, please don't cancel this tournament lol

I'm now addicted to the awesome HSAPQ questions. We'll register 4 teams if we have to lol.

You guys go ahead and plan to come read if you can.

Lee,
Is your tournament restricted to teams from Alabama?

by **AndyShootsAndyScores** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 9:03 pm

I can't speak for sure, but it hasn't been in the past and probably will not be this year.

Absolutely not. Come one, come all!

Edmonson County B and C are probably better labeled Edmonson County Middle School A and B, for Byko purposes.

We're really looking forward to this tournament. It's always well-run, and I've been impressed with HSPAQ so far.

So noted.

by **Matthew D** » Tue Nov 25, 2008 3:46 pm

Lee we will only have 3 teams... two varsity and 1 JV

by **Joshua Rutsky** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 12:58 am

Lee--

We won tonight's playoff game, so I won't be able to bring a full squad up there, but I am going to check on Monday to see if I can muster at least one varsity team and one JV to make the trip. I'll try to give you an absolute answer no later than Wednesday, but please pencil us in for those two tentatively if possible.

Lee-

Hoover will be there with one Varsity team. What time is the start?

8:15, Mr. Rutsky

by **quizbowllee** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:40 pm

Yes. Please try to be at the school by 8:15. I am hoping to have the tournament finished in time for kick-off. Roll Tide.

by **Cooper98** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 9:23 pm

You still need me to read?

by **quizbowllee** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:35 pm

Thanks.

by **azngod1992** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 2:24 am

Lee, A couple of questions

1) Will the bonuses be bounce back?

2) Are there negs?

3) What is the structure of the tournament? (i.e how many teams are in each pool, what is the playoff structure ect)
