RESULTS: Danville Academic Tournament (9/23/06) in KY

[mknupp]

I know this is early, but Danville High School will be hosting a tournament on september 23rd 2006. It will be a four quarter format. I wanted to give coaches advance notice since it is somewhat early in the season.

[mknupp]

It would help to know cost. The entry fee is $50 for the first team and $40 for each additional team. A $10 discount for each WORKING buzzer system ($30 maximum discount).

[mknupp]

We do have a field limit of 60 teams. If needed, we can have a JV and Varsity division.

[Matthew D]

Okay not to sound stupid but which state?

[Golden Tiger 86]

I believe it's Kentucky...Danville, Alabama doesn't have much of a quiz bowl tradition as far as I can tell.

[Matthew D]

I was thinking that but just wanted to make sure... didn't know if they were starting off like we are at Scottsboro

[Golden Tiger 86]

They may someday, but the poster was the former coach at Dunbar out of Lexington (Kentucky, not the small town in NW Alabama ) and went to Danville...there supposed to be really, really, really good

[brownboy79]

yeah
Knupp is building a strong program in Danville. He was our former JV coach and is really doing well with Danville. He took a very weak team, and turned it into one of the top 5 programs in the state within one year.

After consulting with the new Danville coach, Rob Kremer, this tournament has been moved to Russell KY for 2006. The date remains the same.

I'm not familiar with it, so what is the "four-quarter format?"

[mknupp]

The four quarter format is Q1: 10 quick toss-ups, Q2: 5 toss-ups with attached bonuses, Q3: team worksheet, Q4: 8 pyramid style toss-ups worth double normal toss-up points.

Terrill Wilkins is our question writer, so the questions will be good and clean.
