DC Metro 2016-2017 Date Claim Thread

Post by Michael Shang »

First, shout-out to Eric, who was fantastic for managing the thread last year!

I'll be maintaining the calendar for quizbowl shenanigans in the DC Metro area for 2016-2017. I'm also including local college tournaments so that any colleges hosting tournaments for high schoolers can work around those (and for my own sanity) - note that not all of the college tournaments listed permit high schoolers to compete. If you want me to add an event to this list, email me at [email protected], message me privately on the forums, or make a post in the thread below (with the latter preferred). If you could also include the type of question set you're using (NAQT IS sets, IS-A sets, housewrite, etc.), that would be very helpful. Happy quizbowling, everyone!

VCU will likely be hosting HS tournaments on October 15 / December 3 / February 18 / April 29. (the latter 3 dates are pretty definite; the first is mostly definite). Our 2016 dates will be using NAQT sets; our 2017 dates are TBD on the set.

After taking a moment to admire Cody's lightning-fast speed, Johns Hopkins University would like to reserve October 29th and tentatively February 4th and April 8th (depending on when SCT and MUT are, respectively) for its novice (fall) and two regular (winter, spring) tournaments.

After perusing last year's Date Claim Thread more thoroughly, I've put Centennial down for Sunday, November 6 for their annual fall tournament. If Dr. Seifter could just let me know what number A set they'll be using, that would be excellent.

Also, word on the street is that GSAC will be on December 10th this year, so I'll put that on the calendar until someone tells me otherwise.

Kiddo, I know the tournament's been at UVA for a long time, but you really shouldn't reserve a date explicitly for States before bidding's even opened.

Whoops, solid point! When I emailed Chad Kubicek about reserving tournaments, I included a request for VA NAQT States, and his reply did not mention any issue with our reserving the tournament so early. However, you're certainly right about procedure; that date is withdrawn until official confirmation from NAQT. Thanks, Sarah!

I've just updated the list with the question set numbers from NAQT. If you see any glaring errors (or any non-glaring errors), please let me know.

Also, JHU would like to move the date of its winter tournament from February 4 to February 11.

Cave Spring HS would like to tentatively reserve November 19th for the CSI XI. We are also looking into mirroring a housewrite for that tournament as well. We'll also be hosting the NCIS VI sometime in the early part of 2017 but we need to wait until we get back to the school before we can lock in a date for that. I'll post again when we have further details about it.

Honaker High School will be hosting an NAQT tournament, The Redbud Invitational, on October 15th, using set IS-157A.

However, registration will only be opened to teams from Wythe County over to Lee County at first, in an effort to spur up more quiz bowl participation on the far corner of the state. If turnout becomes an issue, registration will be opened to non-local teams with 1-2 weeks left before the tournament date.

Interested teams outside of the local area (even outside of VA) can email me at charliejperkins[at]gmail[dot]com and I will start up a wait-list.

We will have an initial cap of 18 teams with the possibility of expansion to 24 if enough staff are made available.

In cooperation with the Southwest Virginia Academic Team Alliance (SWATA), Gate City High School will host the Legion Memorial Invitational Tournament on November 12th.

Format of the tournament, including registration and cap/expansion, will follow Honaker High School's The Redbud Invitational. Registration will initially be offered only to schools Wythe County-Lee County, have a possible invitation extension, a cap of 18 teams, and right to expand at 24.

The question set is TBD. We are looking at either a NAQT IS set or SCOP Novice 7 mirror. I will update once we have made a decision.

Thank you!

A couple of things:

* First, we would like to update our CSI announcement with a link to our tournament posting (http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewto ... =1&t=18975). We also will be using the WHAQ housewrite.

* Second, we would like to announce our NCIS date for March 4th. We'll be using NAQT IS-164 for that tournament. It will also hold a middle school division, if anyone is paying attention to that kind of stuff here in this forum.

* Third, it might be important to put the VHSL dates on this calendar as there seems to be a lot more tournaments happening in January and February. For example, the VHSL State tournament is on February 25th, which may hurt the turnout at the HFT @ Georgetown. The Conference deadline is January 28th and the Regional deadline is February 11th, if anyone is curious.

UVA will be moving NAQT States from 3/18 to 4/1 due to room scheduling conflicts. While this conflicts with RM's LIST VI mirror, Virginia teams can still attend the VT mirror earlier in the month, so we figured that it'd be the least catastrophic date to move to.

I believe the post is awaiting moderator approval for an edit regarding a field update.

Indeed it was, and it has been, and it's visible again.

Just a reminder, especially to newer posters: It's a good idea to make your "field update" a separate post from the initial announcement. That way you can edit the field update and just that post will go invisible until approved*, whereas if you edit the first post of a thread, the whole thread will be hidden until it's approved.

*-This is to prevent things like an account making an apparently-useful post, getting it approved, and then editing it and replacing it with spam. This has happened in the past!

Hello everyone, as the link to our tournament on April 1st isn't up, I'm posting the link here. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19735&p=327810&hili ... nt#p327810

Please contact us as soon as possible to ensure this can actually happen! If the field is too small, we may have to move the tournament, but we need you all to email us so we can take the field into account.

Please update the schedule to reflect that Georgetown moved its HFT Mirror to 4/29 from 3/18, according to their tournament announcement.
