UC Irvine Fall Invitational (10/29/16) (Penn Bowl/IS-161AC)

Post by suicaqc »

Quiz Bowl at UC Irvine is pleased to announce UC Irvine Fall Invitational, a college level tournament.

DATE/TIME: UC Irvine Fall Invitational will take place on October 29, 2016. Check-in begins at 8:00 A.M., and rounds start at 9:00 A.M. We hope to end the tournament by around 5 - 6 P.M. including finals rounds if necessary.

There will be separate College Novice and College Varsity divisions: the College Novice will be a mirror of NAQT IS-161AC (more details about the set can be seen here: https://www.naqt.com/college/collegiate ... eries.html), and the College Varsity division will be a mirror of the 2016 Penn Bowl set (more details about the set can be seen here: http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewto ... =8&t=18665).

To be eligible for the College Novice division, all players on the team must have:
-Played no more than one Quizbowl tournament -> NO LONGER TRUE, SEE BELOW
-Enrolled in a post-secondary institution
***EDIT AS OF 23 OCTOBER***
-Scored less than 25 ppg at a regular difficulty high school tournament.

High School students may play or staff in the College Varsity division (Chimera teams are welcomed), but are not allowed to do so in the College Novice division as a very similar set will be used later this year in the High School circuit.

Check in for the College Novice division will be at Moss Cove A, and the one for the College Varsity division will be at Moss Cove B.
