Penn Bowl 2024 Mainsite (11/2/2024)

Post by potoooooooo »

Hello!

We are excited to announce that the mainsite mirror of Penn Bowl 2024 (Penn Bowl XXXII), head edited by Noah Sheidlower, with other various affiliated editors. This will be run at the University of Pennsylvania, and will be held on Saturday, 11/2/2024. We thank you for your patience in waiting for this announcement.

Registration is now open. If you would like to register, please fill out this form here: https://forms.gle/Rwk44a9MF6e8NPKw7. Each institution should fill out this form one time.

Set information:
More information about the set, including staff, and mirror information, can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=28106

HOSTING

At the main site, we will use the following fee structure:
Base fee: $120 per team
Working buzzer discount: $5 each
Approved moderator discount: $15 each
Travel discount: $10 (more than 200 miles one way according to Google Maps)

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

METHOD OF PAYMENT (borrowed from Cody Voight)

All teams must pay by the day of the tournament. We prefer to accept payment in person right before the tournament starts, but we will accept checks by mail ahead of time if your procedures require it. Teams who do not pay by the day of the tournament will be charged a $25 penalty and will have two weeks to pay their total amount before we start mailing letters to your school administration about it.

We can accept cash, personal checks, or checks from school, school district, or quizbowl club funds. We have no ability to process purchase orders or credit cards, but we will accept Paypal and Venmo. Bringing forms of payment outside of the three listed will be considered nonpayment and subject you to the $25 late payment penalty.

All checks must be made out to either "Anirudh Bharadwaj" or "Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania". If you bring a check not made out to neither "Anirudh Bharadwaj" nor "Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania" and have no other method of paying for the tournament, you will be subject to the $25 late payment penalty. If you address your checks to "Penn Quizbowl", we will not be able to accept them. If you require a pre-tournament invoice or W9 in order to have a check cut, let us know early enough for your school to process the payment. We can generally send you an invoice the same day.
