SCOP B National Mirror (5-8-21)

Post by Bob the Builder »

I am pleased to announce the SCOP B National Mirror on Saturday, May 8th, 2021. I, Arnav Kaul, and Geetan Madala will serve as the Tournament Directors of this event. This will be played on a dedicated Discord server; more info will be sent out later.

Date and Time
The tournament will take place on Saturday, May 8th, 2021 from 10 AM - 3 PM CST.

Questions and Format
We will be running the tournament on SCOP B, a high school novice difficulty question set. This event will be run on tossups only.

Teams
We will have a tentative team cap of 24 teams. If there is enough interest and staffers, we will expand the team cap. This tournament will be open to all High Schools. Since this is a closed event, only players from the same school can play on a team. Teams can have up to six players on their roster.
If there is enough interest from Middle School teams, we will open a Middle School division as well.

Registration and Fees
If you are interested in playing, please fill out this Google Form or email [email protected] with your team name, roster (this does not have to be final), an email contact, and any other notes. The price for each team will be $55.

Payment Methods
Payment is preferred to be done via Venmo or Paypal. If you would like to pay through a different method, please contact us or add it to the Notes section of your registration.
Venmo: @Geetan-Madala
Paypal: [email protected]

Staffers
Staffers will be paid $20 for the entire day. If you are interested in staffing, fill out this Google Form.

Cheating and Misconduct
Cameras will be required for the entire duration of the tournament.
All players, spectators, and coaches must adhere to the PACE Code of Conduct. All instances of cheating and/or misconduct will be dealt seriously by the tournament staff. Additionally, we reserve the right to report anyone to local and national quizbowl organizations.

Are there eligibility restrictions for this tournament, and/or will there be a JV/Novice division for this tournament so that it doesn't devolve into a giant buzzer race?

For now, there will only be one division with no eligibility restrictions. If there is enough interest, we will divide the tournament into 2 different divisions.
