Harvard Fall Tournament @ MSU (11/23)

[eiriksmal]

Michigan State University’s Academic Competition Club is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a mirror of the Harvard Fall Tournament (HFT) on November 23rd, 2019.

The tournament will be held in Berkey Hall (509 E Circle Dr, East Lansing, MI 48824) on MSU’s campus. The tournament will start promptly at 9:00AM, and we ask that teams arrive between 8:30 and 8:45 to check-in. We recommend that teams park in Ramp #6 (Grand River), which has entrances on eastbound Grand River Ave. and West Circle Dr. Parking in Ramp 6 is FREE on Saturdays.
Here is a campus map indicating the locations of Berkey Hall and Ramp 6.

HFT @ MSU will use this year’s rendition of Harvard’s annual fall set. This set aims to be slightly more difficult that the average high school set, so it will provide a challenge for all teams. More information about this set can be found here .

Fees and Registration:
The base fee for Harvard Fall will be $90 for a single team and then $80 for each subsequent team, with the following discounts:
-$5 per working buzzer set indicated on your registration
-$5 if paid in cash
-$10 per 100 miles traveled one-way as measured by Google Maps
-$20 for teams from schools that haven’t participated in a Quizbowl tournament since September 1, 2018 (please let us know if you think you qualify)
Minimum fee per team is $40
