Any Illinois or Wisconsin Tournaments in Fall 2012?

Post by African threadfish »

Does anyone plan to host a quiz bowl tournament in Illinois or Wisconsin in the fall? If so, I'd love to sign up a team or two when you start planning it.

Thank you for your time :grin:

Check with Jeff Price at Barrington Station, who is familiar with the middle school circuit in the Chicago suburbs.

Kristin--see Jeff's note above. Because of a recent IESA rule interpretation, Loyola might not be able to host their tournament, at least not in December. I think Matt is awaiting clarification before deciding one way or another.

Please know that -- for reasons of principle AND reasons of self-interest -- I will do whatever you need me to in order to fight this ridiculousness.

Looks like we're back in business Mr. Falk! Based upon my conversation with IESA yesterday and Jeff's today, we are ok for 4 vs. 4 quiz bowl in the scholastic bowl. Apparently a lot of coaches called in and complained about this :grin: Keith will be there for the Gladiator Open on 11/10! :cool:

Excellent -- and I hope to have an official announcement, fees, rooms, times, etc. within the next week.

Very relieved!

According to my phone conversation, clarification will be sent via letter to all IESA coaches within the next week or so. Will keep you all posted!

Is there any word about the potential middle school Loyola tournament in December coming to fruition? Keith would love to send in our dues and reserve a place if possible!

This, unfortunately, won't be an open tournament.

The only hope left over the next few months would be in Rockford... My kids are still game for the usual tournament we attend in Normal, despite the format and question provider. But that tournament isn't until mid-February.

Darn, we were hoping for more playing opportunities! :(

I will meet with Brad Fischer and we'll see if we can work out a weekend to host.
