[The Favourite]

The University of Central Oklahoma is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the 2015 NAQT Central Sectional on Saturday, February 7, 2014. We are going to do registration and check-in from 8:30-9:00 am and games will start shortly thereafter. Hopefully, this tournament will have separate D1 and D2 fields, if not, I expect us to have more D2 teams.

You can register for the tournament by following this link and choosing your division: http://www.naqt.com/registration/field. ... nt_id=6223

If you are not sure which division you fall into, you may check this link to find out: http://www.naqt.com/college/division-ii.html

The Pricing for this tournament will be as follows:

$125 for each school's first team; $100 for each subsequent team
-$10 per working buzzer
-$5 per working timer
-$30 for an approved staffer
-$20 New to NAQT discount (a team that did not participate in 2013 or 2014 SCT/ICT)
-$10 per every 200 miles traveled one way (according to google maps)

All payment must be made by, or on, the day of the tournament. There will be a $25 late fee if payment is not made by the end of the day on 2/7/2015.

We can accept cash, personal checks, checks from a school, or checks from an organization account.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at [email protected] at any time and will respond in a timely manner.

We hope to see you all there!

Is what I've been told about how this tournament was scheduled true? Did you really schedule DI to run for 15 rounds (and DII as well)? If so, that's more than a little bit insane.

Also, what's up with East Central B's stats? They seem a little bit wonky, with one round of 46.67 ppb while other rounds had no powers or gets but a positive number of bonus points.

We're aware of these issues and will fix them before issuing ICT invitations.

The reason for the 15 rounds in DI was that we had to guarantee at least 9 games to every team, so the format had to be a triple round robin with only 5 teams. The DII only consisted of 12 rounds, with all but 2 teams playing 11.

The DII schedule is a bit more reassuring. Tracey, it probably would have worked easier (and not made it so hard on the DI teams participating) if you had entered a house team into DI and just done a double RR (which would have guaranteed 10 games for everybody). If you ever want to ask questions about scheduling, there are a lot of people on the forums who would have gladly helped.

This is true. I actually wanted to field a house D1 team, but got negative response from my team, and knew I couldn't play alone. I should have bounced format ideas off of the forums. The format chosen was in accordance with NAQT, however. My apologies for the length of the tournament and the stresses it caused all of the D1 teams in this field.

This issue has been fixed; let us know if there are any further corrections to the stats.
