Georgetown Invitational (10/31/15- Washington, DC)

[roey]

It is a pleasure to announce that Georgetown University will be hosting the inaugural Georgetown Invitational on October 31, 2015. The tournament will be hosted on NAQT’s IS-148 question set and computational math tossups will be removed. The top 15% of the field will qualify for NAQT’s High School National Championship Tournament. In addition, the tournament has been certified as a PACE Platinum Qualifier, meaning that the top 25% of the field will qualify for PACE's National Scholastic Championship.

Location: The tournament will be hosted on the campus of Georgetown University, in the Edward B. Bunn Intercultural Center (commonly known as the ICC for short.) Registration will begin at 8:00 am outside of room ICC 115. The opening meeting will be held in that room at 8:45, and then we expect round 1 to start at 9:00 am. Parking is available for free on weekends in the Southwest Garage. A map of campus is available at maps.georgetown.edu.

We will be accepting cash and check (if you choose check, please make it out to “Georgetown University Quiz Bowl.”)

Format: The format will vary depending on the number of teams that register. We have a soft cap of 20 teams, but may adjust if we have sufficient resources and demand.

Team Size: Up to 6 players can be on each team’s roster, up to 4 of whom can play at one time. Substitutions are allowed at halftime and between games and players can only play for one team throughout the day.
