Boilermaker Spring Tournament @ Carmel HS (4/30/2022)

Post by JusRule »

General:
The Carmel Quiz Bowl Team is excited to announce the Boilermaker Spring Tournament (BST): a regular-season quiz bowl tournament for high-school teams. This tournament will be held in-person at Carmel High School on April 30, 2022. I, Akash Bhowmik, will be the tournament director for this event. For now, we will maintain a tentative cap at 12 teams. However, if there is enough interest, we are open to expanding the field to additional teams.

This tournament will use Boilermaker Spring Novice, an introductory college quiz bowl set. More information about the set can be found at viewtopic.php?t=25517. Teams consist of four players (more can rotate in and out as substitutions, maximum of 6 players on one team). All players on a team must be from the same school; we will not accept any chimera teams.

Games will consist of two 12-tossup halves, with 3-part bonuses. There will be 15-point powers for early answers and 5-point negs for incorrect answers before the end of a tossup. There are no bounce backs on bonuses.

Registration:
To register for BST, fill out this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... w/viewform

If you have any questions or need any assistance, email [email protected], and we will get back to you as soon as possible. The finalized schedule will be sent out closer to the date, but a rough duration would be from 8:30 AM to sometime around 4 PM, with included lunch break. Registration closes on April 23rd, 2022.

We will not be serving lunch at the school for this tournament; there are numerous restaurants nearby, including McDonalds, Popeyes, and others, both across the street from the school and on Carmel Drive.

COVID:
Masks are encouraged indoors. Please do not attend this tournament if you are experiencing any symptoms.

Eligibility:
This tournament is primarily aimed toward Indiana high schools. High schools outside of Indiana can register, but they will be waitlisted, and will not formally be accepted until registration is closed. Waitlisted schools will be admitted in order of registration, and based on field size.

Schools may submit more than one team to this tournament. If you wish to submit multiple teams, please designate each team by decreasing strength with a letter, starting with A. For example, if Carmel High School were to submit 3 teams, we would expect their strongest team to be named Carmel A, the second-strongest to be Carmel B, and the third-strongest to be Carmel C.

Fees and Discounts:
Registration: $80 per team
-$5 from overall registration fees for each working buzzer set with at least 8 working buzzers.
-$5 per 100 miles traveled one-way. Distance decided via Google Maps.
-$20 New to quiz bowl discount (has never played pyramidal quiz bowl or has not played pyramidal quiz bowl since 3/5/2019)
-$20 Staffer discount for each staffer a team brings
Minimum fee of $50.

Payment:
Payment must be made by cash, accepted the day of the tournament, or by a check made out to the "Carmel High School Quiz Bowl Team." We will send an invoice with instructions to each team that registers. Please contact us if this system does not work for you.

If BST sounds of interest to you or your team, don’t hesitate to sign up. For any further questions, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Thank you for your interest, and happy buzzing!
