Which BFA is in the field, St. Albans or Fairfax? I would guess the latter, but I'm a bit shocked either way. Neither has competed outside Vermont before.

A total of 18 teams from 11 schools competed in the Vermont NAQT Championship tonight at Spaulding High School.

A record field of 34 schools from 17 schools in four states turned out at South Burlington High School for today's third annual Pre-Holiday Academic Tournament. We were excited to draw our most geographically diverse field to date, and it produced some solid competition by local standards. All teams...

The registration deadline was yesterday, so the field above should be more or less final. Unless we get a number of late dropouts, we're looking at a record turnout with our most geographically diverse field.

Now I'm crossing my fingers for good weather.

Registrations have been slow coming in this year, but it's finally looking like the team count is going to be at least near where we've been in the past.

Congratulations to Hanover (N.H.)

I've been updating the list above as the last-minute registrations pour in. Today was the registration deadline so what we have now should be pretty much it.

All bids must be received by 5 PM Pacific time on Thursday, March 18. Selected teams will receive notification of their bid acceptance no later than Thursday, April 1 How hard is that deadline? I think it's quite a long shot Vermont would send a team to your tournament, but if we did, we almost cer...

I assume since they are running this tournament for free, they need the deep discount that NAQT gives on year old sets, and the likelihood of any VT team having seen/played this set is low enough to make this make sense. That's exactly right. One of the cornerstones of this tournament has always be...

Sorry to revive a somewhat old thread, but I just wanted to say that I'd be interested in helping change this for next year.

If memory serves me right, Hanover went to HSNCT a couple (or 3 or so) years ago and went 5-5. My guess, offhand, is that they could do about the same this year, but that's just a guess--I haven't exactly been paying as much attention lately. This year, our league was down a fair amount from where ...

Bill Murphy from Hanover will be taking an New Hampshire all-star team to Disney as usual. However, unless something changes unsuspectedly pretty quick, there will not be a Vermont team this year.

kcommo

It's looking like Hanover will be attending HSNCT, so I'm glad to be able to say Northern New England should be represented at a real national tournament this year.

It's another state title sweep for Hanover High School.

Baring any last-minute changes, the field above is now final. Assuming there aren't late drop-outs, we'll probably either divide a team in two or cobble together a mixed team to even out the field and play with 22 teams.

We've had the usual last-minute sign-ups and drop outs, but assuming the weather cooperates, it's looking like we'll have a final field of 28 or 30 teams.
