Downingtown High School East Invitational

Post by orangutan »

Downingtown East High School is excited to announce our high school invitational on Saturday, January 5, 2018. Registration will be from at 8-8:30 AM, with matches starting at 9. This tournament will be directed by myself and Malaika Paralkar.

This tournament will have two divisions: experienced and novice. Any team may register for the experienced division, while the novice division is designed for underclassmen or those with less quizbowl experience. Please ask if you're not sure which division is appropriate for your team! Each school may register 3 teams total initially. Additional teams will be added to a waitlist.

Set: NAQT IS-181

Fee Structure:
$75 for first team
$65 per additional team

Minimum fee: $50 per team

Please bring payment (cash or checks made out to “Downingtown East High School”) on the morning of the tournament.

To register, please fill out this form: https://goo.gl/forms/lRQWwREL2OADzbxp1 <%22>

Field Cap: 30 teams (may increase if we can get more moderators)

The form does not allow 0 as an option for the number of open teams, novice teams or buzzers. What do we do if we are not bringing anything/anyone in one of these categories?

This tournament is now a PACE NSC qualifier. The top 25% of teams will qualify for the PACE NSC. Also, as we are using the set IS-181, the top 15% of teams will qualify for NAQT's HSNCT.

Is there any sense as to when the stats from this tournament will be forwarded to NAQT? I ask mostly because an updated NAQT database makes coaching decisions clearer, but I think there may be teams who have qualified for NAQT Nationals tournaments who would like their eligibility noted. Thank you for your time.
