NAQT Collegiate Novice at RIT (9/17)

Post by Cosmas's Tabernacular Earth »

I am pleased to announce a tournament taking place using NAQT’s collegiate novice set (CNS-213C) on September 17, 2022 at RIT.

Fees
Base fee: $75 per team
Buzzer discount: -$10 per working buzzer set
Staff discount: -$10 per capable staffer; staffers must have an NAQT account
New school discount: -$15 if your school has not played a college tournament between September 1, 2020 and September 1, 2022
Minimum fee: $35 per team

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)
That said, please don’t be afraid to ask for an exception if you have a player who meets one of these criteria but you still feel is a novice.

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.

Covid Protocols
RIT Quizbowl expects all tournament attendees to be vaccinated against covid. Masking is optional for this tournament. All tournament attendees should also adhere to the guidelines set out at https://www.rit.edu/ready/

Registration
Registration will be done through NAQT's system at https://www.naqt.com/go/register/13709. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, September 14.

If you have any questions or wish to request exemptions to the eligibility criteria, feel free to email me at [email protected] or send me a PM.
