Academic Team Coaches:

It is my pleasure to announce the Detroit Catholic Central Academic Tournament which will be held Saturday March 4th at Detroit Catholic Central High School’s new campus at 27225 Wixom Road, Novi, MI 48374. The tournament is open to all high school teams. Teams will consist of four students with any number of eligible substitutions. If there is sufficient interest, we will consider having a JV division open to students in grades nine (9) and ten (10). Please indicate whether or not you are interested in sending Varsity or JV teams on your registration form.

Snacks, coffee and juice will be provided to all teams free of charge during registration. For lunch teams are on their own; however, there are many nearby fast-food options available on Grand River Ave or Wixom Road. Maps for lunch options will be provided to schools on the day of the tournament.

The questions are house-written and consist of three rounds per match. Every team will play seven matches in the morning session. There will be a single-elimination playoff round in the afternoon. Trophies will be given to the top four teams in the varsity division. If JV divisions are played, the top two teams in the junior varsity division will also receive trophies. Tournament matches will consist of the following:

• 10 Pyramid-style tossups worth 10 points and two (2) related bonuses worth 10 points each
• 10 question team worksheet (1 minutes to answer). 10 point bonus for getting all questions correct.
• 15 Pyramid-style toss-up questions worth fifteen (15) points each.
• Each team will be allowed one (1) one-minute time-out per game.

All questions will be read during the matches. Substitutions will be allowed between rounds and during either team’s time out.

The fee structure is as follows:
• $65 cost per team
• $10 discount per buzzer system
• $10 travel discount for teams making a 150 mile round trip

Please make all checks made payable to Catholic Central Academic Team.
