Penn Bowl Trash mirror @ Northwestern (2/13/11)
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:36 pm
Northwestern's mirroring Penn Bowl Trash on 2/13/11.
LOCATION
Matches will happen in University Hall, which is located at 1897 Sheridan Rd., Evanston, IL, 60208. Check-in will occur in University 122 from 8:00 to 8:30. Matches will start at 9 or as soon as all teams get there. Please park in the Lakeside Parking Structure, which is located at 1 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston, IL, 60208. An interactive map can be found here.
HOTELS
If you're spending Saturday night (or Friday night for that matter) in Evanston, I would recommend the Hilton Orrington, which is within walking distance. The Best Western University Plaza is also within walking distance but a few blocks farther.
FEE STRUCTURE & REGISTRATION
Post here with number of teams, number of competent moderators, number of buzzers, and other things that might get you discounts such as miles traveled or your club's poorness. This is the fee structure:
Each team: +$100
Each working buzzer system: -$5
Each competent moderator: -$5
If you have a question on what "working" and "competent" means, post here. There's no limit on the number of buzzer systems and moderators you may bring, but the minimum fee is $80. Checks should be made out to Northwestern Quizbowl and brought on the day of the tournament.
