CA Quizbowl Championship @ Fresno State (4/5/14)

[Mewto55555]

HSAPQ, in conjunction with the California Quizbowl Championship Association, is pleased to announce our California Quizbowl Championship at Fresno State on April 5! This tournament will feature the top 2 finishing teams at each of the regional tournaments at Stanford, Rio Americano High School, Santa Monica High School University High School, and UC-San Diego on March 1/2.

Both the regional events and the California Quizbowl Championship will use HSAPQ’s 8-8-8 format: a first and third period of 8 powermarked tossups followed by a one-part bonus read to the team whose player correctly answered the tossup, and a second period of 8 directed bonus parts, 4 for each team. This format is designed to provide quicker-moving games to keep new teams engaged, piquing their interest in quizbowl and drawing them to regular local events.

Emails went out today with logistic updates and requests for any unconfirmed teams to confirm or decline. Anyone who thinks they've qualified but haven't gotten at least two emails about it should let us know.
