NAQT now has an official policy about side events taking place at our national championships. Please read this policy carefully if you are considering hosting a side event at an upcoming NAQT national championship.

Re: NAQT side event policy

Post by Important Bird Area »

NAQT wishes to remind people considering running side events at our national championships that we have an explicit policy governing when, where, and how side events are permitted.

Anyone considering running a side event at an NAQT national championship should read that policy carefully and make sure their plans are compatible with it.

In particular, per the second bullet point, side events are not permitted during set-up time (before scrimmages start) or scrimmages, nor after the end of the tournament.

Furthermore, tournament staff considering participating in side events (in any capacity) should bear in mind the times of their commitment under the staff agreement, which may make them unavailable at times that side events are otherwise permitted.
