The tournament will be held on the second and third floors of Mason Hall on the University of Michigan’s Central Campus, 419 S State St Mason Hall, Ann Arbor, MI 48109

Food
There will be a lunch break after prelims lasting ~60 minutes after the last team finishes playing.
Lunch will not be provided and teams are expected to buy lunch. No eating will be permitted in classrooms or during rounds to minimize the spread of the virus. Water and other drinks are allowed. State Street has an abundance of restaurants within walking distance of Mason Hall.

Zero Tolerance Policy
If a moderator has to repeatedly ask an attendee to follow the masking requirement or Code of Conduct they will receive a strike. After 3 strikes, the player will be disqualified and their stats will be wiped from the tournament. NAQT will also be informed of any transgressions which may affect ability to attend tournaments in the future. Any further disciplinary action is left to the discretion of coaches.

Question Set and Rules
We will be using Prison Bowl XIV, a regular plus set, with 13 packets, each consisting of 20 power-marked tossups and 20 bonuses. Each packet will additionally feature an extra tiebreaker tossup and bonus. Any questions about the packet please direct to [email protected].

Moderators use their discretion regarding answer lines and get the final say. Once a protest has been considered, do not argue further in an attempt to gain points.
