2024 Maryland Spring Classic/ Hoosier Invitational @ Maryland 11/9

Post by Ebussa »

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to announce that Maryland will be hosting a mirror of Maryland Spring Classic/ Hoosier Invitational on November 9th, 2024. More information on the set can be found here. I, Emily Bussa, will be serving as the tournament director.

Time and Location
Now that construction is finished, I’m happy to announce we’ll be playing in historic Jimenez Hall again. The address is 3841 Campus Drive. I recommend parking in Lot 1, which is about a 5 minute walk from the hall. We will start registration at 8:30 am and will begin games at or around 9 am.

Registration
This tournament is a "closed" tournament, i.e. teams must be from a single academic institution. You can register for this tournament by emailing me at either [email protected] or [email protected]. When registering, please let me know how many teams, buzzers, and staffers you expect to bring, along with (tentative) team rosters. The last day to register for this tournament will be Wednesday November 6th, 2024.

Fees
Base Fee: $120 per team
New to Quizbowl Discount: -$80
Buzzers: -$10 per working buzzer system (max 5 buzzers)
Staffers: -$20 per competent staffer with a working laptop/charger

The new to quizbowl discount is intended for schools that have not sent a team to any mainstream collegiate academic tournament (not counting exclusively novice tournaments) since September 2022, and which have no players who competed in non-novice collegiate tournaments during that same period.

More info, including a list of teams in the field, will be added as we get closer to the tournament. I look forward to seeing you there!
