We will be using IS-158 for the varsity and the Penn Novice Set for Junior Varsity/Novice/Middle School teams. The tournament will be directed by coach Chris Johnson. Itawamba's teams will be playing in the tournament. The readers will be former Itawamba scholars who all have competed at nationals or have NAQT competition experience as well as local volunteers and teachers.

We will do a round-robin pool play until lunch (12:00) using standard NAQT rules. Then, we will take the top 2 teams (records, PPG, PPB) from each bracket and play for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (trophies given to top 4). The remaining teams will play consolation rounds against similar teams (determined by PPG). Every team should be guaranteed 7 games. Stats will be kept and awards given to the top 5 individual points earners based upon preliminary games only.
