Rules:
We will be using the QQBC 2021 Housewrite, an HS Regs level question set (meant to mirror NAQT IS-level difficulty). The set follows the NAQT distribution, which can be found here: https://www.naqt.com/hs/distribution.jsp
The set was written for the 2021 QQBC Summer Camp Mega Tournament. As a result, there are only 6 rounds, and there may be some overlapping content between the first half and second half of the tournament.
Rounds are 20/20 with one tiebreaker tossup if needed. There will be powers (15) and negs (-5). We will not use bouncebacks. Teams should expect to have camera and mic capabilities during play. Players should have at least one hand in view of the camera during the duration of the round.
Cheating & Misconduct
Everyone involved in the tournament should be sure to adhere to these basic rules: http://www.pace-nsc.org/nsc-code-of-conduct/
In addition, there will be a form to report any form of misconduct.
Cameras will be required to be on during play. Cheating will not be tolerated.
If you have any questions please post here or email [email protected]. Please include "QQBC Open" in the subject.
Thank you and hope to see you at the tournament!
