Blacksburg High School Scholastic Bowl Fall Kickoff
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:19 pm
Blacksburg High School is hosting the inaugural Scholastic Bowl Fall Kickoff on Saturday, November 12, 2011.
This event is open to VHSL member schools only, and will be played on VHSL regular season sets 21-28. The event is not a tournament. We want to let schools that do not usually participate in the weekend circuit have a chance to attend a weekend event where they can see the benefits of playing several quizbowl matches on a Saturday, and thereby potentially grow the SWVA circuit.
Teams are asked to provide buzzers and a reader for their team at the competition. As the event is a bit informal, the team's own readers will be asked to follow their team and read for half of their 8 scheduled matches.
Registration forms were mailed to schools within an 1.5 hour radius of Blacksburg HS. If you did not get an invitation, but would like one, please feel free to e-mail me (address in signature).
The cost of registration is as follows:
Registration Fee: $5
Reader Fee (If you are unable to provide your own reader): $50
Food: Concessions style lunch will be served in the break between the 4 morning rounds and the 4 afternoon rounds. Prices and menu have yet to be determined, but this information will be updated when they are.
Field (8):
Blacksburg
Cave Spring
Christiansburg
Eastern Montgomery
Galax
Hidden Valley
Rockbridge County
Salem
