2.10.18 - JHU Winter, Baltimore MD

Post by anastasia84 »

The Johns Hopkins University Quizbowl Team is pleased to announce the Johns Hopkins University Winter Tournament!

When and Where
Johns Hopkins University, on Saturday, February 10, 2018. Check-in starts at 8:00 am and the tournament will begin at 9:00 am. The tournament will take place on the JHU Homewood campus (building TBA).

Format
This tournament will follow official NAQT rules (which can be viewed at http://www.naqt.com/rules.html) with slight modifications on timing.

Question Set
We will be using NAQT Invitational Series #170. Per the NAQT qualification rules, the top 15% of the field will qualify for the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT).

Team Entry Fees
$65 per team (minimum of $40 after discounts applied), either cash or check only. Please bring payment on the day of the tournament. Checks should made payable to "Johns Hopkins University."

Discounts
-$20 for staffers, -$5 per working buzzer set.

Food
Pizza will be sold near lunch time, and various restaurants may be found in the vicinity of Johns Hopkins. To see a full list, please visit http://web.jhu.edu/cogsci/visitors/restaurants.html.

Parking
Parking is available at the South Garage, at the flat rate of $8 for the entire day.

Team & Roster Size
There is a maximum of 6 players and a minimum of 1 player on each team - no exceptions without explicit permission from the tournament director. Up to four members may play at once. We recommend no more than four members on a team, so that students may play the maximum number of rounds.

Team Limit
Until one week prior to the registration deadline (January 27), only three teams from a school may register; subsequent teams (up to an additional two, for five total) from the same school will be placed on the waitlist. Following January 27, 2018, two additional teams from that school on the waitlist will be moved off of the waitlist and registered (assuming that there are spots still open).

Team Cap
The field is tentatively capped at 24 teams.

Registration Deadline
Please fill out the registration form (https://goo.gl/forms/Vu5urlnEOmotkGzs2) by February 3rd. You should receive a confirmation email from [email protected] within the next few days (if not, please email us ASAP!). By February 7th, please provide us with a tentative roster - it can be changed it later, but having a roster just makes our stats person's job much easier.

If you would like to make any changes to your registration details, email us at [email protected]

Timeline
Just to recap, here are some important dates:
January 27, 2018: Multiple team deadline (see above)
February 3, 2018: Registration deadline
February 7, 2018: Roster deadline
February 10, 2018: Tournament day!

Kudos to Audrey and the JHU folk who ran this tournament. This was a very well run tournament. Everything was on time, good moderators, a great mix of quality teams. A wonderful day of quiz. Congratulations to the top three finishers; Montgomery Blair, Richard Montgomery A & B. You were all not only good players but also good competitors and sportsman. It was worth the flight from Florida!
