The Cornell University Quizbowl Club would like to invite your high school to
the 2012 NAQT Upstate New York State Championship on Saturday, April 21st at
Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. This tournament is a Quizbowl
competition where your academic team will face off many times against teams
across New York. This tournament can be considered a competitive warm-up for
Masterminds or the NAC or Scholastic Scrimmage. The winner automatically qualifies
for NAQT's High School National Championships,which drew 200 teams from
across the country this year. Also, any other teams in the top 15% of the competition are
placed on the waitlist for the competition.

Questions will be provided by National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT), a
company that specializes in writing quality academic quizbowl questions for both
collegiate and high school competitions across the United States. We will be
