Post by jonahbs »

WUSTL Quiz Bowl is pleased to announce we will be hosting a mirror site of MRNA VACCINE, an upper-medium difficulty college tournament to be held on April 23rd, 2022. I, Jonah Schwartz, will serve as tournament director. The opening meeting will be held at 8:45 AM, with the first round beginning promptly at 9 AM CST.

Location and Directions:
The tournament will take place in Eads Hall on the Danforth Campus.

Parking:
Parking will be in Simon Lot, Lot 35 on Google maps.

Questions:
This tournament will be run using MRNA VACCINE (Medium RaNge Academic, a Vanderbilt and Company Collaboration vIa NEtwork). More information can be found here.

Eligibility:
This tournament is for teams of eligible players representing a single institution of education. No "mixed" or "open" collegiate teams are permitted at this site.

Games will be conducted in the normal 20/20 tossup/bonus format; other than the inclusion of power tossups, the ACF rules will be used. The tournament format will endeavor to offer each team the maximum number of games possible within a reasonable timeframe, and will be determined in specific based on the number of teams who register.

Format:
Rounds will consist of 20 tossups with three-part bonuses. There will be powers and negs, but no bounce back on bonuses. Teams will be seeded into preliminary brackets and playoff brackets will be determined based on preliminary record. All teams will be offered a minimum of 8 games, and statistics will be kept in full. Rounds will not be timed. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated during the tournament.

Fees:
The fees for the tournament are as follows:
Base fee: $120
-$10 discount per working buzzer system
-$10 discount for teams that provide a staffer
-$10 discount per 200 miles traveled one way from your school to WUSTL as determined by Google Maps.
Minimum fee per team: $40

Registration:
Teams can register for this tournament by sending an email to [email protected]. When registering, please let us know how many teams, buzzers, and staffers you expect to bring. The initial field cap is set at 12 teams. The last day to register for this tournament will be April 18th 2022.

Payment:

All checks should be made payable to Washington University Quiz Bowl. Teams will be invoiced once they register.

Team Size:
Teams will consist of up to four active players and up to two substitutes for a total of six players per team. Players may not transfer between teams. Teams may play shorthanded, with fewer than four players, but there is no discount for doing so.

Prizes:
After the tournament concludes we will provide for trophies to the top team(s) and book prizes to the top individual scorers.

Any questions about the tournament can be directed to [email protected].
