2015 NAQT Missouri Qualifier - March 7 at Mizzou
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 11:00 pm
Cross-posting from this thread on the Missouri Academic Competition Message Board, which will be updated more frequently than this one.
The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance would like to invite all MSHSAA-registered high school Scholar Bowl teams to participate in the 2015 NAQT Missouri Qualifier, which will be held on the campus of the University of Missouri in Columbia on March 7, 2015.
The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance is an organization dedicated to providing high-quality quizbowl tournaments to all Missouri teams. As MOQBA's flagship event, this tournament regularly features a diverse field of teams from throughout Missouri, creating a championship atmosphere and recognizing the state's top teams for national tournament qualification. Jeffrey Hill and Alex Dzurick will serve as tournament directors of this official NAQT event, which will use untimed NAQT rules only modified where necessary to comply with MSHSAA requirements.
This tournament will be run in the twenty tossup/bonus format on NAQT Invitational Series #144. This question set is not expected to be assigned to any other tournaments in Missouri, but teams are still responsible for ensuring that they attend no more than one tournament using IS-144. Games consist of twenty tossups worth ten points each followed by non-rebounding bonuses worth up to thirty points. Tossups will feature "powers" (additional points awarded for correct buzzes early in the question) and "negs" (five point deductions for incorrect answers before the question is finished). All teams will be guaranteed at least 9 games throughout the day.
For full details about the tournament and to register, visit http://www.moqba.org/qualifier/2015/. We will only be accepting registrations through the online registration form. Please note that we have made some changes that may affect schools that intend to register multiple teams. This tournament traditionally fills very quickly, and a limited number of openings remain as several teams have already registered, so we strongly recommend that you reserve your spots now.
We hope to see you and your teams in Columbia in March and wish you the best of luck as you compete this season. If you have any questions about the tournament, don't hesitate to ask us at [email protected], post in this thread, or post in the thread on moquizbowl.com.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Hill and Alex Dzurick
