Post by Important Bird Area »

The Northern California Quiz Bowl Alliance and Sunol Glen School are pleased to announce that Sunol Glen will host its first middle school quizbowl tournament on Sunday, March 6, 2016.

Location: This tournament will take place at Sunol Glen School, Sunol, California.

The top 15% of teams will qualify for the 2016 NAQT Middle School National Championship Tournament, to be held in Atlanta, Georgia on May 7-8, 2016.

Eligibility: All middle schools (public, private, charter, religious, homeschool, etc.) are eligible to play in this event. This tournament is open to any players who have not yet completed 8th grade, though the questions are targeted at 7th and 8th graders.

Schools are encouraged to enter multiple teams, but please note that players must play for the same team throughout the tournament.

Fees:

Base fee: $60 per team

-$10 second or subsequent team from the same school

-$10 working buzzer system (must accommodate at least eight players)

-$20 experienced moderator

-$10 scorekeeper (We will hold a brief training session during check-in for those volunteers who have never kept score before.)

Payment will be taken at check-in on March 6th. Please make checks out to Sunol Glen School.

How to register: please contact the tournament director, Jeff Hoppes ([email protected]), on or before Tuesday, March 1st, indicating how many teams, buzzers, and staff your school plans to bring.
