2022 Livingston Novice Tournament (12/3/2022)

Post by robby_redford »

Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce that Livingston High School will be hosting our inaugural Novice Tournament in person on December 3, 2022 at Livingston High School, 30 Robert H Harp Drive, Livingston, NJ.

Eligibility
The tournament will only be open to novice-level players. Here are our eligibility rules:
- Players must not have scored over 50 PPG at any high school tournament.
- Players must not have averaged over 2 powers per game over the course of any high school tournament.
- Players must not have been a member of an HSNCT playoff team or a team which finished in the top half of PACE NSC.

Questions and Format
We will be using the NAQT IS-214A set, an easy-level NAQT set.
Games will be run 20/20 (20 tossups and 20 bonuses) on NAQT rules, but no clock will be used. We will be using 5/5/5 rules for timing, meaning 5 seconds will be allotted after each tossup is read to buzz, 5 seconds are allotted after each buzz to begin answering, and 5 seconds are allotted for teams to confer on each bonus part.

The tournament will be structured with 5 preliminary rounds in the morning and 5 playoff rounds in the afternoon, with finals held if there is a tie in records. 10 rounds are guaranteed to each team.

The field cap for the time being will be set at 36 teams.

Start time
Check in will begin at 8 AM, with the opening meeting being held at 8:45 and the first round starting at 9. The tournament should end around 6 PM.

Food
A high quality bagel (with butter and cream cheese) and orange juice breakfast will be provided free of charge. We will be selling pizzas in the morning (order them that morning upon arriving to check in).

Fees
Tournament fees are as follows:
$70 for the first team
$60 for each additional team
$15 per pizza
$10 discount for each experienced reader brought (as needed)
$10 discount for each functional buzzer system brought (as needed)

The deadline to change or submit registrations will be on November 26. Any teams dropping after that date will still be liable to pay their tournament fee in full. Please sign teams up using this form.

If you have any more questions, contact Guy Rabner ([email protected]) or me ([email protected]).

North Babylon will have to drop out of this tournament. We already played in a tournament with this question set. Sorry for the inconvenience. Good luck to all!

Unfortunately, due to drops and low turnout Livingston Novice has been cancelled this coming weekend.

We hope to be able to host next year and that we'll see many of you at March Madness on March 18, 2023.
