SCURVY tournament: May 6, 2023 at Hoover High School

Post by ADHamley »

Hello quizbowl players, coaches, and sponsors!

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 6, 2023 for Hoover High School’s first ever Scholastic Competition of Utterly Ridiculous Vapid Yahoos (SCURVY) tournament. Hoover High School is located in Hoover, Alabama:

1000 Buccaneer Drive
Hoover, AL 35244

This tournament will be a house set written by current Hoover players and recent Hoover graduates with a little help from some great minds in quizbowl. The SCURVY (viewtopic.php?p=393853#p393853) packet is a regs+ and is intended to be a Nats prep for competitive teams with more experienced players. Inexperienced players are welcome, but the question set difficulty is moderate to harder high school level.

LOGISTICS:

Our field is tentatively set at 24 teams, but we are open to expanding the field based on interest and reader availability.

On May 6th, on-site registration will begin at 8:30 central time, and play will begin at as close to 9:00 as possible.

The registration fee is $80 for the first team and $70 for each additional team registered from an individual school. At this point, there is no cap on the number of teams per school allowed to register, but that is contingent on interest and reader availability.

A $5 discount will be given for bringing a fully-functioning buzzer set (up to 3 discounts per school). A $10 discount will be given to schools located a minimum of 100 miles away OR any out-of-state school that attends.

Lunch will be sold on site and will be cash only. Lunch price will be $6 for two slices of pizza and a drink; vegetarian options will be available, but we will be unable to prepare for gluten allergies. There are also plenty of fast food options within a 5-minute drive of the school.

We will also sell additional snacks and drinks throughout the day (cash only).

In order to indicate your intent to register, please fill out THIS GOOGLE FORM: (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... sp=sf_link).

If you have questions, feel free to email me at [email protected].

We hope to see you there.

Re: SCURVY tournament: May 6, 2023 at Hoover High School -- postponed until fall, 2023

Post by ADHamley »

Unfortunately, we are going to have to postpone SCURVY until the fall months of 2023 due to lack of registrations.

Quite a few teams have reached out to tell us about one event or another (proms, AP exams, other tournaments) that will keep their teams from being able to attend, so we're going to punt until the fall when hopefully things have slowed down a bit.

I'll let everyone know what the new date is as soon as we have one; we will likely start the scheduling process in August.
