This tournament will be co-directed by Avery Wagner and myself, Itamar Naveh-Benjamin. Eligibility for this event is governed by the following rules:

2. This is a tournament for introducing collegiate novices to quizbowl. Consequently, no high school teams or players are eligible.

4. Players meeting one or more of the following criteria must apply to the head editor for special permission to play:
i. If you have already completed your second year of college (calculated from time in college, not credits). Time in a post-secondary high school program does not count.

iii. If you have ever scored at least 30 points per game at any college tournament.
iv. If you have ever won any college tournament.

EDIT: Two teams for us.

Re: Collegiate Novice at The University of Missouri - Sept. 28th
Ok, so for the most part, this tournament was not a disaster and I'm glad it happened. That said, there is one main thing that could be improved.
The only thing I can remember that really caused problems is that you didn't include in the announcement where the tournament was going to be. I checked the posted announcements to see if they mentioned where the tournament is going to be, and when I didn't see the location posted, I called you (Itamar) to find out the location. However, due to the location on campus not being posted, Kansas State ended up staying at Rock Bridge High School for 20 minutes. Also, I didn't get an email saying where we should meet on campus or anything else to indicate where to go. This is something that should be done before every tournament.
EDIT: Also, I want to praise Itamar and Avery for doing a pretty good job of keeping their heads level and for keeping the tournament moving along. We started 20 minutes later than we wanted to and still were done by 3:45.

Re: Collegiate Novice at The University of Missouri - Sept. 28th
To be fair.....I have no idea why they did that. I just got a call that said they were there and asked how to get to where the tournament was. The point about how the location on campus was not posted is still something that should be addressed in the future.merv1618 wrote:Make sure your seatbelt is fastened wrote:The University of Missouri Quizbowl Club will be hosting Collegiate Novice 4 on September 28th at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri.The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi wrote:Kansas State ended up staying at Rock Bridge High School for 20 minutes.
