Post by ajyara »

I am pleased to announce UMIZOOMI, an online quizbowl tournament hosted by Ahadi Yara, Lokajith Premkumar, and Lucy Zarzar. The tournament will take place on Saturday, November 16, 2024. This tournament will be using the FARSI set. Statistics will be uploaded to hsquizbowl through YellowFruit

All teams with players in middle and high school from North Carolina or Alabama who have NOT played the corresponding set to their division are welcome to join the tournament. Exceptions to the region-locking are expected to contact one of the tournament directors immediately.

Registration will close on Friday, November 14 at midnight. Priority will be given to teams that are not shorthanded, and then on a first-come, first-serve basis. Chimera/Open teams ARE allowed.

All NAQT rules apply and teams must follow a NO CHEATING POLICY, and are expected to show both hands on camera at all times. Each cycle will consist of 1 tossup and 3 bonuses given to the team that got the tossup. Each team is to be guaranteed 10 rounds (7 round robin, 3 playoff). There will be NO computational math during both tossups and bonuses.
