Carrboro High School Middle School Tournament

Post by Tejaz Ajit »

Dear North Carolina Middle School Coaches,
Carrboro High School is pleased to announce that we are hosting a middle school tournament on May 5th, 2018. This is an independent quiz bowl tournament, and the packets are house-written

Registration will begin at 8:15, orientation will be at 8:45, and matches should begin at 9:00. There will be 8 rounds total. There will be four preliminary rounds in the morning, after which there will be a break for lunch. We will hand out flyers with a list of places to eat, and give suggestions. After lunch, we will award book prizes for the top 10 scorers, before breaking off into different playoff brackets based on teams' performances in the morning. Every team is guaranteed eight rounds, and the tournament should end by 4:00 p.m max. As I understand, some of you will be competing in the Middle School National Quiz Bowl tournament the week after, so this tournament will serve as a good warm-up.

For the question packets, we have formatted our questions to match the question difficulty, question lengths, and category breakdowns of standard NAQT middle school quiz bowl packets. The category breakdown in each packet is roughly 4 science, 4 history, 4 literature, 3 fine arts, 2 geography, 1 religion/mythology, 1 trash (pop culture), and 1 current event. Attached is a sample 20 tossup/20 bonus packet we have written for this invitation that will closely mirror what we have written for the tournament: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wqN ... s=5ad00f4a

Address: 201 Rock Haven Rd, Carrboro, NC 27510
