BASS (Southern BHSAT Mirror, CANCELLED)

Post by jordan.davidsen »

UPDATE: BASS HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A LACK OF INTEREST AND A CONFLICT WITH THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTING TEAM.

I am thrilled to announce the first iteration of BASS (Bulldog Academic Southern Spectacular), an online Southern regional mirror of BHSAT XXX this Spring. The tournament will take place on Saturday, April 17th. For clarification, the tournament is pronounced bass like the fish, and is named after a popular library on the campus of Yale University. I, Jordan Davidsen (Yale University), will be Tournament Directing. I am still in the process of potentially selecting an Assistant TD.

Eligibility
This is a closed high school tournament. It is open to all high school (and middle school) teams from the South, which for the purposes of this tournament includes Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. All players must attend the same school at the time of the tournament. UPDATE: Teams from regions which will not have a BHSAT mirror or have LEGITIMATE reason to not play their regional mirror may request access to this tournament. Teams will have to be approved by both the tournament director and the BHSAT editing team. NOT ALL TEAMS WILL BE GRANTED PERMISSION TO PLAY IN THIS MIRROR.

Schedule and Format
The tournament will be run on Discord. All players will be expected to use video during the tournament unless they have received an exception from the tournament director. It will start at 9AM EST.

Conduct
Players will be required to follow the PACE Code of Conduct. All misconduct will be reported to the Tournament Director and all relevant officials, which could lead to disqualification from the tournament and removal from the quizbowl community. Players will be made aware of the quizbowl misconduct form as well as other resources for combatting misconduct.

I will also note that playing without a camera and exhibiting behaviors suggestive of cheating will place you under extreme suspicion.

Fees
The entry fee for this tournament will be $80 for the first team and $70 for all subsequent teams. Teams can receive a $20 discount for providing staff.

Registration
When you are ready to register, please fill out this form. Please contact the tournament director if anything changes with your registration. The registration deadline will be April 10th, 2021.

The field will be capped at 24 teams. There will be waitlist in case of cancellations or other extenuating circumstances.

Staff
Staffers will be paid $40 for staffing this tournament. If you would like to staff, fill out this form! Due to the higher pay for this tournament, staffers will be expected to score keep and moderate a match by themselves at a good speed.

Thank you and please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions!
