Livingston HS March Madness NAQT - Saturday, March 15, 2014
Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 6:49 pm
Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
I am pleased to announce that Livingston HS, in Livingston, NJ, will be hosting its annual March Madness Quiz Bowl tournament on Saturday, March 15, 2014.
http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1953/
SET: We are going to be using NAQT set IS-132 (this was used at Phoenixville (PA) in November)
TEAMS: We can host up to 48 teams. Initially, I will take a cap of 3 teams per school and, by February 15, one month before the tournament, will put all additional teams per school into the field. For the moment, all teams beyond 3 will be put on the wait list.
ROUNDS: We are planning on a round robin of preliminary rounds (depending on number of teams) followed by lunch and then playoffs to follow. We aim to let each team have at least 10 rounds.
START TIME: Check in/registration between 8 - 8:30 with a moderator meeting at 8:30 and a welcome at 8:45 with round 1 to start at 9:00. We aim to be done with the tournament by 5:00.
FOOD: A great, high quality bagel (with butter and cream cheese) and orange juice breakfast will be provided free of charge. We will be selling pizzas in the morning (order that morning upon arriving to check in) as well as selling slices, waters, sodas and other food/snacks throughout the day, most all of which will cost $1 each. This is our team fundraiser so we would appreciate your support!
FEES:
$80 for the first team
$70 for each additional team from the same school
Discounts of $15 for each moderator (as needed) and $10 for each buzzer set (as needed)
Max discount of $45 per school
HOW TO REGISTER: Registration will constitute an email from the TEAM COACH/ADVISOR confirming attendance and registration as well as how many (if any) buzzer systems and/or moderators you will be able to bring. Our email is [email protected] which you can use to register and for further inquires. Information/field updates will also be posted and updated on this hsquizbowl.org forum here so please check/monitor this. Please understand that posting on the forum does not constitute officially registering nor any official communication with the team. Email is best way to communicate.
PAYMENT: Please make all checks out to "Livingston High School" and either bring with you to the tournament or mail to the below address at my (Guy Rabner) attention. Please try to make sure that payment is in by tournament time. If you require a pre-tournament invoice in order to have a check cut, please let us know ASAP or by March 1 so that we can send you the invoice in sufficient time.
Livingston High School is located at 30 Robert H. Harp Drive, Livingston, NJ 07039-2634. We're close to major interstates and only a 1/2 hour drive to Manhattan.
Looking forward to seeing you in March!
