Post by EmpireByzantium »

I am pleased to announce Rutgers University will host a mirror of the Canadian circuit's spring novice set on Saturday, April 15, 2023. This tournament is intended for teams and players newer to collegiate quiz bowl, details about the set can be found here viewtopic.php?t=26114. The field has a cap of 24 teams but is subject to expansion given enough staffers and buzzers. I (Alexis Terman) will be directing this tournament. Signups will close a week before the tournament.

-$30 for teams new to quiz bowl (defined as having not played a tournament in the 2020-21 or 2021-22 seasons)
-$20 per trained staffer with a functioning laptop
-$10 per working buzzer set with at least 8 working buzzers
-$10 per 150 miles traveled one-way. Distances are decided via Google Maps.
Minimum Fee: $50
