Jason-
Thanks for the heads up! I have emailed Mr. Romero. We will have at least 1 team present.

Yes, we do have a budget. Did I ever give the impression that we didn't or just because we seem to get around? We just really have to choose which tournaments we attend, because the competition in MS hasn't really caught up to other areas of the country. We have been fortunate that our school gives ...

St. Andrew's is interested in this tournament if our budget allows. We are hosting the Mississippi State competition in April and will know more in about 3 weeks. Is there a deadline to register?

Many thanks to a very well run tournament. Our team had a lot of fun! Congratulations to SHP!

St. Andrew's should have 2 teams registered and we will be bringing a buzzer system after all.

A make-up date that worked well was not to be found. I guess we will focus on hosting the NAQT Mississippi State tournament in April.

In reference to the format (noting that my team won't be in attendance, but has gone to other northeast events) our team has found just taking the top 2 teams out of a bracket for the top 6 has never worked well for us. We have always been put in a bracket that had 2 definitely dominant teams. We ma...

Please fix that for future use. "our"

If you read the initial post, this tournament has been postponed to a later date due to weather. We shall try to make it bigger and better than before!! If you are located anywhere near (and in our school's terms that means within 2000 miles) us and you haven't played the packet set that will be cho...

I hope it goes well and that these schools learn more about good quizbowl! I hope so too. Too many schools down here don't like pyramidal questions...argh!! They just want easy question/lightning round questions to demonstrate rote memory skills. I hope to play against CR sometime this year. Perhap...

See updated field above...expanded to 42 teams (28 varsity and 14 JV)...we are now PACE affiliated and have attracted out-of-state competition!!

Viva La MS!!!

We expanded the field and I am at our new cap of 36 teams (24 varsity and 12 JV). This is our third year running this tournament. The first year was 10 teams, then 21 last year. All 36 teams this year are from Mississippi!!! I didn't even think we had 20 teams that were active in the state, but I ha...

This tournament is now PACE affiliated.

Will these be house written questions?

Bumping this up a bit to show JV division and packet change.

Actually, yeah we could have gotten to Chicago for dirt cheap. And it was just a whim--my seniors love to travel. Not much good competition down here!!

So, I guess you are full at 48 teams?

Any chance that one team will drop by 3 pm today? We might just catch a flight up to Chicago...

We have decided to open up a JV division to this tournament. If you have a "novice" team that would like to get some playing time in, then this could be the perfect opportunity!

Registered Teams (Updated 1/30/2010) **New cap of 28 Varsity and 14 JV teams! Varsity (24 out of 28 teams) Aberdeen A Brookhaven Academy x2 Brookhaven High School x2 Centreville Christian Collegiate Academy A Clinton A Forest Hill A Itawamba x2 Jackson Prep Madison Central A McComb Meridian x2 Murra...

This tournament is postponed due to bad (allegedly) weather on the horizon. A make-up date has not been set. Host: St. Andrew's Episcopal School (Ridgeland, MS) Date: Saturday, February 13, 2010 (Check-in from 8-8:30, matches starting promptly at 9 a.m.) ** Packet change to NAQT-88 --Teams from out...

Long day, but well run tournament! Thank you for hosting this again, and a big thank you for getting stats out quickly!!!

It did indeed.
Madison Central A defeated Clinton in the finals
St. Andrew's A defeated Itawamba A in the consolation

There was a separate B team bracket (basically JV with no regulation on grade levels) that Madison Central B defeated St. Andrew's B.

Any updates on this tournament? What size field are you expecting?

Colin,
Is this just open to local teams? Our team gets a travel budget each year. Also, are the questions hand written by your school or will they be provided by an outside source?

Date changed to October 17 to avoid an ACT date in MS. St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Ridgeland, MS will be hosting a mirror of the Fall Novice Tournament on October 17, 2009. This set is a collaboration between a number of high school and college quizbowl players, is being edited by Charlie Rose...

St. Andrew's from Ridgeland, MS is interested in this tournament. If you have more information/registration form, please email to [email protected].

Andy, I sent an email earlier this week, but never got a response. St. Andrew's (Mississippi) would like to bring our A team to this tournament. Could you email me the registration form and any additional information? As we are flying, is the Nov. 14th date set firm? Thank you, Aaron Johnson johnson...

St. Andrew's from Ridgeland, MS would be interested if the question set doesn't overlap with other tournaments.

St. Andrew's (Ridgeland, MS) is interested in 1-2 teams, but has to make sure the set doesn't overlap other tournaments also.
