Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the annual Thomas Jefferson Invitational Academic Tournament (TJIAT) on April 2nd, 2016. TJIAT will be held at TJHSST, located on 6560 Braddock Road, Alexandria, VA 22312.

The tournament will be using an A-set (IS-155A), which will provide a good opportunity for newer teams and underclassmen to play on introductory-level questions. TJIAT's current field cap is 20, but this may be increased depending on room availability. Please sign up by Monday, 3/28. Teams will be limited to 6 people at maximum, and schools planning to bring more than the max number must register multiple teams.

Logistics:
Registration will begin at 8:15 AM, and the opening meeting will start at 9:00 AM. Basic breakfast foods will be provided.

Fees:
Registration fees per team:
$70 for schools that regularly participate in pyramidal quizbowl
$40 for schools that are new to pyramidal quizbowl

Discounts:
-$10 for moderators with reading experience for pyramidal quizbowl tournaments
-$10 for teams travelling over 200 miles
-$5 per each fully functional buzzer set, defined as having at least 8 working buzzers

Registration fees can be paid through cash or by check. Checks should be made payable to TJHSST Quizbowl with your school’s name and Registration Fee in the memo line. While payment the day of the tournament is preferable, mailing it in advance will work as well. Anything sent via mail should be addressed to TJHSST Quizbowl c/o Dennis Loo at 6560 Braddock Road, Alexandria, VA, 22312.
