IHOP VI @ Irvine High School (2/4)

[sunahhlee]

Irvine Quiz Bowl is excited to announce its sixth annual IHOP (Irvine High Operation Pandemonium) tournament.

LOCATION: Irvine High School, 4321 Walnut Avenue, Irvine, CA 92604. The matches themselves will be held in the Humanities Building.

DATE: The tournament will be held on Saturday, February 4th, 2017. Check-in will begin at 8:00 am in HLG, and the first round should begin around 9 am. Schedules and roster confirmation sheets will be available after check-in.

FORMAT: The tournament will have two separate divisions: a JV division (for new or less experienced teams) and a Varsity division (the HSNCT and PACE qualifiers). The JV division will use the NAQT IS-157A, while the Varsity division will use the NAQT IS-162. The tournament will adhere to official NAQT rules—with the exception that each round will run as two untimed, 10-question halves. The tournament will run a full round robin phase for both divisions. JV teams will play a total of 9 rounds, and Varsity teams will play a total of 11 rounds. Ties will be resolved based on points per game, followed by points per bonus.

As stated in the NAQT HSNCT (High School National Championship Tournament) qualification rules, the top 15% of the field will qualify for the 2017 HSNCT held May 26-28 in Atlanta, Georgia.

This tournament has also received the PACE gold certification, so the top 20% of the field will qualify for the 2017 PACE NSC held June 10-11 near Chicago, Illinois.

ELIGIBILITY: All high school students are welcome to play in the Varsity division. Players who have attended no more than 3 decent mACF-style or NAQT tournaments are eligible to play in the JV division. New teams may compete in either divisions.

PRICING STRUCTURE:
Base fee = $80 for one team, $70 after the first
