BELLOCO at Bellarmine (San Jose, CA, 02/22/2014)

Post by Schroeder »

Bellarmine’s Quiz Bowl team is pleased to announce that the homesite tournament of our first housewrite set, BELLum Omnium Contra Omnes (BELLOCO), will be held on February 22, 2014 at Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose, California.

The initial field cap will be 24 teams, with possible expansion, dependent on the number of staffers and buzzers we have available. Teams are restricted to six players each; please break up any larger teams into two or more teams. There is no limit to the number of teams that can come from any single school.

The tentative tournament structure will be 6-team preliminary brackets with 5 games of round robin preliminary play followed by a rebracketing into playoff rounds, the structure of which will be determined by the number of teams who register for this event. We anticipate that rounds will go from 9:00 until approximately 5:30, followed by an awards ceremony. The exact round timings and other logistical information will be emailed to registered teams before the tournament. Please do not plan to leave early without telling us beforehand.

Eligibility
All teams of high schoolers from the same school are eligible to play in this event.

Fees
  • base fee: $80 per team
  • –$10 for second or subsequent team from the same school
  • –$10 for teams composed entirely of students that have not competed at a pyramidal quiz bowl tournament prior to the 2013–14 school year
  • –$10 per working buzzer (please do not bring buzzers that are not in good working condition)
  • –$5 per inexperienced staffer
  • –$15 per experienced moderator
  • –$10 per 75 miles driving, one way, rounded down
  • The minimum fee after all discounts have been added is $0. Payment will be taken at check-in the morning of the tournament.
To register: please fill out this form by Thursday, February 20, 2014.
Any volunteers not affiliated with a registered team are warmly welcome and should contact me as well.
Registered teams will be provided with more detailed information before the tournament. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. We hope to see your team there!

The field is temporarily full, but we will be starting a waitlist and may expand the field, depending how many staffers we can get.
