4/7/18 - JHU Blue Jay Bowl, Baltimore MD

Post by Michael Shang »

The Johns Hopkins University Quizbowl Team is pleased to announce the fourth annual Johns Hopkins University Blue Jay Bowl Tournament!

When and Where
Gilman Hall, Johns Hopkins University, on Saturday, April 7, 2018. Check-in starts at 8:00 am and will occur in Gilman 50, and the tournament will begin at 9:00 am. Rounds will take place in Gilman Hall.


Format
This tournament will follow official NAQT rules (which can be viewed at http://www.naqt.com/rules.html) with slight modifications on timing.

Question Set
We will be using NAQT Invitational Series #174. Per the NAQT qualification rules, the top 15% of the field will qualify for the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT).

Team Entry Fees
$70 per team (minimum of $45 after discounts applied), either cash or check only. Please bring payment on the day of the tournament. Checks should made payable to "Johns Hopkins University."

Discounts
-$20 for staffers, -$5 per working buzzer set.

Food
Pizza will be sold near lunch time, and various restaurants may be found in the vicinity of Johns Hopkins. To see a full list, please visit http://web.jhu.edu/cogsci/visitors/restaurants.html.

Parking
Parking is available at the South Garage, at the flat rate of $8 for the entire day.

Team & Roster Size
There is a maximum of 6 players and a minimum of 1 player on each team - no exceptions without explicit permission from the tournament director. Up to four members may play at once. We recommend no more than four members on a team, so that students may play the maximum number of rounds.

Team Limit
Until one week prior to the registration deadline (March 24), only three teams from a school may register; subsequent teams (up to an additional two, for five total) from the same school will be placed on the waitlist. Following March 24, 2018, two additional teams from that school on the waitlist will be moved off of the waitlist and registered (assuming that there are spots still open).

Team Cap
The field is tentatively capped at 24 teams.

Registration Deadline
Please fill out the registration form (https://goo.gl/forms/xLpjCwR5UZS0gH512) by March 31st. You should receive a confirmation email from [email protected] within the next few days (if not, please email us ASAP!). By April 4th, please provide us with a tentative roster - it can be changed it later, but having a roster just makes our stats person's job much easier.

If you would like to make any changes to your registration details, email us at [email protected]

Timeline
Just to recap, here are some important dates:
March 24, 2018: Multiple team deadline (see above)
March 31, 2018: Registration deadline
April 5, 2018: Roster deadline
April 7, 2018: Tournament day!
