Eligibility
This tournament is intended for newer college players. As such, we will require players who meet any of the below criteria to be approved by the TD before being permitted to play:
- Has scored 35 PPG or more in either major high school national (HSNCT or NSC)
- Was on a team that finished in the top playoff bracket (1st-24th) at NSC or finished t-49th or better at HSNCT
- Has scored 25 PPG or more in any tournament run on a college set
- Has played in or qualified for a college national (ICT or ACF Nationals)
It should be noted that NAQT’s collegiate novice set (CNS-213C) has overlap with one of NAQT’s high school sets (IS-213). For that reason, high school players and coaches may not attend this tournament in any capacity.
Logistics
Teams should plan to arrive at RIT around 8:45 am, with the expectation that we will start tossup 1 at 9:00 am. Our target length is ten rounds of quizbowl, though the exact number will depend on field size. There will be a scheduled break for lunch, however lunch will not be provided.
The tournament will occur in the Eastman building. Parking on campus is free on weekends, and D and E lots are both close to the Eastman building. A complete logistics email will be sent to teams ahead of the tournament.
