I am pleased to announce that UNC and Duke Quiz Bowl will be hosting the Lower Mid-Atlantic mirror of 2022 ARCADIA (otherwise known as ARCADIIA) at Duke University on November 19, 2022. Further details about the set can be found here.

Please direct any questions about this tournament to me at jacob [DOT] egol [AT] duke [DOT] edu or post them in this thread. We hope to see you soon!

Time and Place:
This tournament will be held on November 19, 2022 in Classroom Building. The opening meeting will begin at 8:45 am Eastern Time and gameplay will begin at 9:00 am.

Rules and Eligibility:
This tournament will use ACF’s gameplay rules with their addendum for the inclusion of powermarks, and it is open to any team that complies with ACF's eligibility rules (i.e. closed collegiate teams). Closed high school teams may not play this mirror.

COVID-19 Policy:
Since Duke University currently does not require masking in classrooms, masks will be optional at this tournament. However, all attendees must be vaccinated.

Registration and Field Size:
To register for this tournament, please fill out this Google Form. Registration will close on Wednesday, November 16 at 11:59 pm.
This tournament’s field will be capped at 18 teams, after which a waitlist will form.


Fees and Payment:
Base fee: $120 per team
Buzzer discount: –$5 per functional buzzer system that supports at least 8 players
Team-provided staff discount: –$10 per experienced staffer; staff must be able to complete a round in 40 minutes and have functional laptops and internet connectivity.
Distance discount: –$10 per 200 miles traveled one-way from your school to Duke (according to Google Maps)
"New to quizbowl" discount: –$20 for any school whose teams have never played a regular-difficulty (not exclusively novice) collegiate academic tournament before September 1, 2021 and whose players have not formerly played such tournaments for another school.
Minimum fee: $50 per team; you may supply as many staff and buzzers as you would like and you may travel as far as you please, but you will not be discounted beyond the minimum fee.

We will accept payment via check, Venmo, or PayPal. Teams will be provided with an invoice and an account/address for payment once they register. Any questions or concerns regarding payment should be sent to me directly.

Code of Conduct:
Duke and UNC Quiz Bowl are committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. All of this tournament’s players and staff will be required to abide by the 2021 WORKSHOP Code of Conduct (with online-specific protocols adjusted for being in-person).

Just a heads-up that this tournament is happening next Saturday— registration will close in just under one week. We have 4 (likely 5) teams signed up so far and we have enough staff to support many more. Please fill out the Google Form if you would like to play!
