IHSSBCA Kickoff at Homewood-Flossmoor, Saturday, 11-21-15

[msacks]

Homewood-Flossmoor will be hosting a site of the Illinois High School Scholastic Bowl Coaches Association Kickoff tournament.

Date: Saturday, November 21, 2015.

Location: Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School, 999 Kedzie Ave., Flossmoor, IL 60422

Eligibility: Teams of players who all attend a single high school are eligible to attend. For each school that enters a team, at least one person affiliated with that team must join the IHSSBCA, but one affiliated person being a member is sufficient to register multiple teams. Teams from out of state are welcome (but still must have an affiliated person join IHSSBCA).

Questions: NAQT IS Set #150

Structure: The field limit and format is in flux until 11/3; every team will play at least seven matches. Please contact Michael Sacks at msacks AT hf233 DOT org with any questions.

Rules: The tournament will use IHSSBCA rules. In brief: 5-on-5, powers, no negs, rebounding bonuses, tossup-bonus-cycle tiebreakers, roster cap of 8.

Money: The base fee is $55 for the first team from each school, and $50 for each subsequent team. There are no discounts, but teams are expected to bring whatever functional buzzer systems they have available, and are implored to provide any staffers they are able (even if it is necessary that the staffer stay with the team he or she coaches). All checks are to be made out to Homewood-Flossmoor High School, and payment must be received at or before the tournament. If financial issues stand between your team and attending this tournament, contact me to discuss possible arrangements.
