Brookline (MA) Spring Rookie Tournament – 5/16/15 at BHS
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:35 pm
Brookline High School is pleased to announce the inaugural Brookline Spring Rookie Tournament (BSRT), to be held on Saturday, May 16th 2015. The goal for BSRT is to grow involvement in quiz bowl amongst schools in the Greater Boston Area, as well as New England as a whole. Additionally, we envision BSRT serving as an entry point for new players from established schools. We define “new players” as individuals who are in their first or second year of competition (though, honestly, we trust that individual players should be to able to accurately self-identify as "novice-level"). We believe that a spring competition for new players will help kick-start the 2015-16 season and get more students involved.
Question set:
We will be using the NAQT set IS-145A, running untimed rounds of 20 tossups each (with accompanying bonuses).
