[oriley]

With Northfield Quizbowl, the UQC is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a national, online, closed mirror of DUOS II on Saturday, April 22, 2023. There will be an opening meeting at 8:45 AM Central, and games will begin at 9 AM Central.

This tournament will take place online over Zoom and Buzzin.live. Depending on field size, all teams will be guaranteed from eight to ten games.

Registration
To register to play this tournament, teams should fill out this form. Staffers should register by filling out this form. The field cap will initially be set at 16 teams, but will expand if we have enough staffers.

The deadline to register to play this tournament is Wednesday, April 19, 2023. Teams who drop from the field after 11 PM Central on Thursday, April 20, 2022 will be required to pay the full fee. Please drop before the registration deadline if you need to drop.

All staff will be paid $40, except those staffing for team discounts.

Fees
Base fee: $80
Staffer discount: -$40
Late fee: +$20

Cheating
To prevent cheating, all players will be required to have both of their hands and their screen in view of a camera. This may be easily accomplished with a second camera angle, or by buzzing on a phone. For this reason, unfortunately we will not be able to permit any camera exemptions. Those who have issues with Internet who wish to play this tournament might inquire as to whether their team can meet in-person in one location, such as a school classroom.

Payment
I must receive payment within 7 days of the tournament (by April 29), or your school will be charged a $20/team late fee. Alternate arrangements may be made to this policy if I am contacted before the date of the tournament.

My email is oriley1201 AT icloud DOT com. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
