Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the annual Thomas Jefferson Middle School Tournament (TJMST) on January 27th, 2018.
QUESTION SET:
The tournament will run on NAQT’s MS-23 question set. Standard NAQT rules will be in effect, with the exception of rounds being untimed. The top 15% of the field will qualify for the 2018 NAQT Middle School National Championship Tournament (MSNCT).
TJMST's current field cap is 20, but this may be increased depending on room availability. Please sign up by 1/20/2018. Teams will be limited to a maximum of 6 people, and schools planning to bring more than 6 students must register multiple teams. 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 are also allowed to have fewer than 4 people.
LOGISTICS:
Registration will begin at 8:15 AM, and the opening meeting will start at 9:00 AM. Rules and regulations will be explained for any new Quizbowl teams and basic breakfast foods will be provided. Pizza will be available for order in the morning and will be delivered by lunch. The tournament will be held at TJHSST (6560 Braddock Road, Alexandria, VA 22312) and is set for January 27th, weather permitting. If not, we will reschedule for a later date.
