Re: Sacramento Fall HS Tournament @ Rio Americano (September
Douglas High School, from Minden, Nevada, would like to bring a team. We plan to have five students. How many students play in each round? (In our NAQT in Reno we play 4 at a time with substitutions)?
We see that Nevada teams are free this time, and that is amazing! We can bring a buzzer system if you would like us to.
