New Jersey 2010 NAQT States 2/13/10 @ Princeton

[olsb25]

After some deliberation, we have decided to hold the state championship on February 13, 2010. This is a joint-hosting with Rutgers, but the tournament site will be Princeton. We know that this is rather early, but because of various difficulties with our breaks and midterms, plus our own packet submission tournament, leaves this as the best possible date. Info on fees, etc. to come in the next few weeks.

You MAY run into an issue with February 13. As Monday, February 15 is President's day, a number of schools may be on vacation. (However, you can never make everyone happy!)

Seton Hall Prep will be there!

[Edward Powers]

Thank you Kunle, Princeton & Rutgers for your thoughtfulness in changing the date and, of course, for agreeing to host in the first place.

Saint Joseph's High School will also be there, with 2 teams, 2 buzzers and 1 moderator if you need one.

[Down and out in Quintana Roo]

Yeah, thanks guys for working this out and considering all the appropriate factors. We really appreciate it.

We wish you luck in hosting it, and luck to all the teams attending.

Bumped just to remind Jersey schools that this State Championship tournament will be here before we know it, so hopefully all interested parties will register ASAP, with the result that we have a highly competitive, broadly representative and very deep field, forcing whoever earns this year's state banner to truly earn it.

Mods, could you move this to the thread that I already made? Thanks.

[olsb25]

Since the mods haven't moved this over, here is the actual announcement.

Princeton University, in conjunction with Rutgers University, will be hosting this year's NAQT State Championship for the State of New Jersey. The tournament will be held on Saturday, Feb 13, 2010 on the Princeton Campus.

The packet will be IS-92.

Fees:
$60 for the first team from a school.
$45 for each additional team
-$5 Discount per Buzzer System
-$10 per Experienced Reader/Moderator, if we require additional help. Email me if you're interested in this.

The last day to register without incurring a late fee will be Saturday Jan 30th.

If you have questions about the date selection, as it is early, see this thread: viewtopic.php?p=159347#p159347


Please e-mail dhumphre (at) princeton.edu for registration and/or any questions.

Actually, I just don't have any other registrations. Also, I don't have editing capabilities over the initial topic post, it being Kunle's.

[Youse Da Force]

So, because I can't edit the topic post of this thread, I'd like to direct you back to what was going to be the official thread of the tournament. I've included a field update (we have 6 schools now). If it's ok with everyone, lets move the conversation (if it really needs continuation) there.

[Youse Da Force]

So we're moving the discussion on tournaments here, so I have edit controls over the topic post. Moderators, if you could please merge the NJ NAQT States thread that Kunle made into this one, that would be great.

[AKKOLADE]

That won't work, actually, because the original post will be the oldest one (i.e., the one Kunle made). We'll need to get someone to resplit them, make sure the last post in the old thread is a link to the new one, and lock the old one.
