2021 EB Bears Pre-Nationals Tournament [DART] (04/24/2021)

Post by PieInTheSky »

Hello everyone!

First, a big thanks to all of you who attended Funfest! I hope you had as much fun playing as the staff and I had hosting for you. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to host this tournament last April, but after a year-long hiatus, I am happy to announce our fourth annual

EAST BRUNSWICK BEARS PRE-NATIONALS TOURNAMENT!

Date: Saturday, April 24th, 2021

Time: Registration starts Monday, March 15th, 2021. Please sign up before Thursday, April 22nd, 2021. You should get your rosters to us by either filling them out in the registration form below, or emailing us before Thursday, April 22nd, 2021. You should email us ASAP about any changes made to your rosters. If you drop out after Thursday, April 22nd, you will be responsible for the entire tournament fee, excluding extreme circumstances. These deadlines will help us ensure that bracketing is fair. The tournament will start at 9:00 AM sharp on April 24th. Please be awake and logged in to the Discord tournament server by 8:30 AM.

Location: The tournament will take place on a dedicated Discord server. The link to the server will be sent to teams by email.

Set: DART (~ HFT 2019 difficulty, between Regs and Regs+)

Rules: This tournament will use tossups and bonuses. We will use standard ACF timing rules with 20 tossups and no timed halves - the time to answer tossups and bonuses will remain at five seconds. The time to buzz after a tossup has been read will be five seconds as per ACF guidelines. This set does not contain computational math questions.

Cameras will be required for all players. You must have both hands on camera at all times. Players without cameras cannot play, so have your cameras of choice set up well before the tournament day. We will be using buzzin.live, and players will direct tossup and bonus answers over microphone. Please have your mics properly tested and ready as well.

Live statistics will be posted on https://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/6914/ during the tournament.

Registration:

This tournament will not be restricted to any teams. Anyone from the US can play.

"Open" teams are not allowed; you must play with people from your school.

Teams will be limited to six players, with four players allowed to play at one time. Up to two players may sub in/out at halftime.

The field is currently capped at 24 teams, but we will expand it if sufficient interest is shown.

Fees:

$80 / First team
$70 / Second team
$15 / Experienced moderators (must be familiar with moderating Discord tournaments)
Minimum cost of $50 per team.

We will be accepting payments only by check. Checks should be made out to East Brunswick High School. The address on the envelope should be:

East Brunswick High School
380 Cranbury Rd
East Brunswick, NJ 08816
Attn: L. Fitzpatrick-Laurie, Academic Team

Send them ASAP, as we would like all of the payments in by the day of the tournament. If you are unable to do so, or if you need an invoice, contact [email protected].

A word on cheating: don’t. You’re ruining the fun for everyone else and creating unnecessary work for the staff and the TDs. The TDs reserve the right to remove players at any time.

We take inappropriate behavior at our tournaments very seriously. If you feel the need to report an incident of misconduct, we strongly encourage you to contact us (a moderator and/or a TD) and to fill out this form: https://tinyurl.com/qbmisconduct

Finally, registration for the tournament can be found here: https://forms.gle/t2dFDUj5QT17xTq19

Please direct any questions you have to [email protected].

We hope to see you on the 24th!
