2012 NAQT Missouri Qualifier

High school tournament on March 03, 2012

Host location: University of Missouri

Address: Arts and Science Building, Columbia, Missouri

Question Set: NAQT Invitational Series #115

Field cap: 32 teams

This tournament will be run in the twenty tossup/bonus format on NAQT IS-115. Games consist of twenty tossups worth ten points each followed by non-rebounding bonuses worth up to thirty points. Tossups will feature "powers" (additional points awarded for correct buzzes very early in the question) and "negs" (five point deductions for incorrect answers before the question is finished).

The field is currently limited to the first 30 teams to register, though we will make every effort to include all interested teams. There will not be a separate junior varsity division, but schools are welcome to register multiple teams.

The tournament will feature a bracketed round robin and playoff, the exact specifications of which will be determined by the final field size. The field will not be divided into small and large school divisions, but the top-finishing small-school team (as well as the top four teams overall) will receive trophies, and an all-tournament team will be recognized.
