NAQT video seminars about online tournaments

Post by Important Bird Area »

NAQT is pleased to announce that we will run two, one-hour video seminars on running and participating in online quiz bowl tournaments. The first seminar will take place on Thursday, December 10th at 7:30 pm CT, and will be aimed at tournament hosts. This session will discuss the steps of running an online tournament using Zoom, NAQT's online question system, and BuzzIn.Live. The second seminar will take place on Sunday, December 13th at 3 pm CT, and will be aimed at coaches and players. This session will focus on what participants should know for these tournaments; if time permits, we will also discuss tips and tools for running online practices.

Both sessions will be hosted by NAQT's Chief Technical Officer Robert Hentzel, who built NAQT's online question system and wrote NAQT's guide to online tournaments. In both sessions, Robert will answer some questions collected beforehand, and, if time permits, take additional questions from participants. Questions may be submitted in advance by email to [email protected]

These seminars will take place on Zoom. The URLs for the meeting will be available on Monday. We will also make recordings of the seminars available to the community afterward.
