Brooklyn Bridge Battle Tournament (6/24/23) (HS Regs Minus)

Post by Metacarpal »

I am pleased to announce that the Brooklyn Bridge Battle Open Tournament for Middle and High Schoolers will be occurring on June 24th, 2023. The team cap is currently 24 teams. Registration is $40 per team - there is a mod discount of $15, and for every team besides the first team, you will only pay $25. I (Vidyut Arvind) and several other friends of mine (Bhavya Thakur, Xavier Neptune, Madhav Thakur, and Raghav Thakur) will be hosting the tournament.

The tournament will be hosted on Buzzin.live and Discord. If you do not have a Discord account, please create one - the Discord server will be sent in a future email. https://www.discord.com/login (you may register using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... sp=sf_link)

Please follow the NAQT Rules when playing the tournament (two hands up during bonuses, one hand up during tossups and the other on the buzzer, absolutely no cheating in any way). Although unnecessary, try making both hands visible during tossups.

The (Regs Minus) packet, a housewrite by me and several friends, will be using this distribution:

4/4 Literature
4/4 Science and Math
4/4 History
3/3 Geography
2/2 Fine Arts
1/1 RMPSS (religion, mythology, philosophy, social science)
1/1 Trash (sports, pop culture)
0.5/0.5 Current Events
0.5/0.5 General Knowledge

Registration will be carried out through sending a message/replying to this topic, and payment will be carried out through Venmo or Paypal (@arvind-narayanaswamy for Venmo). Staffers will be paid $20 to staff (please have a Venmo or Paypal account at the ready), and all remaining money will go to Rare Disease Renegades, a government-approved charity, and potentially several other charities. Please specify in your transaction that you are paying for the Brooklyn Bridge Battle tournament, and please specify your team name.

Thank you all so much!
