U of L Academic Challenge 10/15/11

Post by Church51907 »

The University of Louisville will host the Arts & Sciences Academic Challenge on October 15th, 2011. The tournament will take place in the Humanities building and will use NAQT Questions. The format will include pool play in the morning with rebracketed groups in the afternoon. Teams will be guaranteed at least 8 matches. We will start the tournament between 9:15 and 9:30 , hopefully this will allow teams to drive in and avoid hotel costs.

As of now, the entry fee is not set, but I will do so soon. Standard discounts for buzzers and moderators apply, with a $10 discount for provision of each. The tournament will have a tentative cap of 30 teams. If you are interested in attending, please post a response or e-mail me at [email protected]. I will also be sending out more e-mails to frequently participating teams in the next few days. All the best and hope to see everyone in October.
