Field Update: We currently have 29 teams registered. We can accept one more registration and then we're closing registration. The teams we have so far are as follows: Maplewood High School: 3 teams Olentangy Liberty High School: 3 teams Fisher Catholic High School: 2 teams Joppatowne High School: 2 ...

It would be logistically impossible for us to run a tournament with any more teams at this point in time. Therefore we have decided to close registration. Thank you for understanding.

I had a ton of requests for the current field, so here it is: Confirmed (24 teams): Camp Hill High School: 1 team Hampton High School: 1 team Taylor Allerdice High School: 1 team Chartiers Valley High School: 2 teams Winchester Thurston High School: 2 teams Kane Area High School: 1 team Westinghouse...

Pitt will probably be sending two teams.

Do you happen to have contact information for Ohio State? Pitt is interested in competing.

We just found out we're using IS-134.

We do not know yet but we will update this post when we find out.

We now have a date. We discussed it for a while Thursday night and decided on March 22.

Thank you for your input. We're having our first meeting of the semester this coming Thursday, so hopefully we'll have a date then. I will aim for a Saturday, since that seems to be vastly preferred.

I concur. With all of the SAT and ACT dates, would we be allowed to do a Sunday tournament? And if we did, would that inconvenience a lot of teams? Doing a tournament at the end of February would give schools barely two months to register and we end the semester in April.

Thanks for telling me. We'll have to pick an alternate date then. Either way we'll know in early January.

Yes, we are still having Battle of the Burgh. I apologize for being so late with picking a date, but this is because we cannot reserve rooms for next semester until the start of next semester. Our spring semester begins in January and ends in April. That means we will not be able to pick a date unti...

Thanks Jeff! I was just about to post that link. I'll put the link in my original post.

Sorry for the delay with the Stats! Ryan (Pitt's quiz bowl team president) submitted the Stats but they're taking a bit to go up because of the holiday. I'll post a link here once they're up.

Sure!

We're currently at 23 teams. They are from Delaware Valley (2), Brashear (2), Camp Hill (1), State College (2), Fisher Catholic (2), Laurel Highlands (1), Chartiers Valley (2), Winchester Thurston (2), Pine-Richland (1), Penn-Trafford (2), Saegertown (1), South Side (1), and Keystone Oaks (4).

We did consider that. There are other buildings, but unfortunately, there is no way to reserve enough rooms for most of them using Pitt's online system. I'm looking at possible reservations right now and our alternate options are one giant lecture hall in David Lawrence Hall, a ballroom, dining room...

I apologize for the conflict, but it was the only date we were able to do. Room reservations make things complicated, as always, because we can only reserve rooms right at the beginning of the semester and Cathedral of Learning rooms tend to be reserved really quickly for other weekend events. The b...

It is an NAQT tournament. We are not yet sure exactly what packet set we'll be using, but we'll let you guys know as soon as we find out.

The University of Pittsburgh will be hosting Sagacity X on Saturday, November 23, 2013 in the Cathedral of Learning. All teams must be registered by Saturday, November 9 . The fee structure is as follows: Payment: $70 for the first team $60 for the second team $50 for the third team, etc. -$10 off y...

It went pretty well! Winchester got first, going undefeated with 12 wins and 0 losses. The final team count was 10 teams.

Thank you! And we apologize again about the timing. Our main issue with regard to timing is that Pitt's room reservation system is semester-based, so we can't reserve rooms for a tournament in the spring until the beginning of the spring semester. We need a weekend where we are guaranteed a ton of r...

Our president got a response. We're using IS-124. Thank you for your patience.

We are not sure yet, but our president e-mailed Chad from NAQT to find out. Once we know I will post here and let you know.

I'll be bring it up at our next meeting, and thank you for your concern! As far as I know, the main reason we've always announced these relatively last second is because we need to make sure we won't be short on volunteers.
