Eligibility Rules:

There are no official eligibility rules for this tournament, but keep in mind that this set is oriented towards introducing less experienced players and teams to college quiz bowl. We ask that teams use their best judgment in deciding which players would be considered "novice." If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask us. The tournament director reserves the right to deny any player permission to play, based on skill level.

Food:

Breakfast and lunch will not be provided, though there will be a lunch break. There are numerous eateries near the tournament site.

We played a 10 team round robin. LSU A defeated Tulane in the first game of an advantaged final. Note that LSU A defeated LSU B in a coin flip after they were both pulled over on the way to the tournament and chose to coin flip their match against each other instead of delay the tournament significantly.

Clock management has been a problem for LSU today.
