This is, of course, NHBB weekend. We're not exactly happy about this.

This may cause many teams to have to pick between NHBB and SSNCT.

We're aware of the conflict (our final choice for an alternate date, April 11th, imposed significantly worse conflicts). David, I'll send you email with some more details.

Speaking only for our team, this is the best possible weekend in April to hold it.

Thanks. We're looking forward to it!

Thanks for letting us know the date. When it comes to small schools, I don't think any date is perfect. Speaking for my own team, my players tend to be committed to quite a lot of activities at once, so most weekends potentially conflict with something else. I don't think there's any way to avoid this. My players simply need to clear their schedule for quiz bowl.

That said, I very much like having a separate SSNCT from the regular Nationals, I like the location, and the weekend is far less of a problem than many other weekends could be (like last year's competition coming right before AP exams).

Full details are now posted.

Wildcard applications for the 2015 SSNCT are now open. To apply, please use this online form.

If you would like to add a team to the standby list for the 2015 SSNCT, please do so here.

Has it been determined whether the format will be power-matching (cards) or pools?

We will have a 60-team cap with six pools of ten teams each.

No blog or predictions for SSNCT? Sad....

Here are my predictions:
1) Harmony
2) Hallsville
3) Glasgow
