Furniture City Classic High Point, NC 1/26/08

[css3238]

T. W. Andrews High School is pleased to announce the first annual Furniture City Classic in High Point, NC on January 26, 2008. More information to follow concerning questions, but we are trying to be a NAQT tournament since this is our first. Here is what I can tell you:

$60 for first team, $50 per team after first
$10 off for each buzzer system brought
$20 for question sets

Hardware for top three teams and top scorers
Breakfast will be provided as well as snacks throughout the day (while they last)
Registration from 8:00-8:45, tournament to start no later than 9:15 (We’re shooting for 9:00)

I will post the registration form by the 25th of November. I am currently working on some special sponsors and hotel rates. Thanks for considering us.

[First Chairman]

Great. Please advertise to the ncataqb group.

NCATA supports what hopefully will become the first regular tournament in the Triad (aside from Hi-IQ).

I am told by the coach of Bassett High School that they are interested in going, and Honaker and maybe Lebanon would consider it if there's no conflict with VHSL events. However, I'd like to be able to give them a contact person ...

Bassett's team is being reformed by Joe Johnson, who coached them 2 years ago and then went to Papua New Guinea. He's got some freshmen and sophomores and is practicing with them.

Registration form can be found here http://www.andrewscet.org/reg.doc begining December 13th. We will accept them up until the day before the tournament (January 25). We have hotel information in the packet as well as prize information.

IMPORTANT PRIZE INFO: The winner and runner up teams will receive their entry fees back! Sponsors are good to us. The top three teams and top three scorers also receive hardware. Should be good times.

NAQT set IS-70 will be used

How could Bassett not attend the Furniture City Classic?

Hey does anyone have an email for this guy?? Odds are approval for an out of state trip may have passed but it never hurts to ask even now.

Our $&*@&*# tech services has blocked my ability to access my own website so the registration form will be up tonight when I get home and can upload it. Sorry for the delay.

[mhanna]

Aiken is bringing one team for sure and maybe a second team. Depends on money.
