Questions will be in 10 point Times New Roman with around 5-7 lines each.

ELIGIBILITY:
All students on a team must be from the same school. There are no restrictions based on region; everyone who would like to sign up should!

LOGISTICS:
LANGUR’s current field cap is 24. Please sign up by May 5th, and team rosters (no more than 6 people) should be submitted by May 7th. During the rounds, up to 4 students are permitted to play at any given time, and up to 2 students can sub out at halftime. Teams dropping out after 11:59 PM on May 8th will still be responsible for paying the fee, but extreme circumstances will be considered.

Due to the pandemic, LANGUR will be conducted entirely online through Discord. All players/coaches should join the server at least a day before the tournament to familiarize themselves with the site and the setup. The first round will start at 9 AM EST, but teams should aim to be on the server by 8:45.

CHEATING AND MISCONDUCT:
Rules against cheating and misconduct will be strictly enforced at this tournament. We reserve the right to remove players suspected of cheating or misconduct during the tournament, disqualify their team, and remove statistics of those involved. We will also notify coaches and relevant Quizbowl organizations about any such acts. If you suspect anyone of cheating, please contact a TD immediately.

To monitor signs of cheating, we will be requiring a camera (laptop or webcam) to be on at all times during this tournament, positioned in such a way that at least a player’s face is visible.

FEES:
Registration fees per team:
$50 per team
$35 for each additional team

DISCOUNTS:
-$15 per each competent staffer (this will be run on a need-based order)

Registration fees may be paid either by check or through online payments. Please send one payment per school. When making your payment, please include your school’s name and “LANGUR registration fee” in the memo line.

INQUIRIES:
Any inquiries can be resolved through emailing [email protected]

Unfortunately, LANGUR has been cancelled due to a lack of question-writing getting done. Will be rescheduled for next season.
