2022 ARCADIA at Harvard (11/12/2022)

[Berniecrat]

Hi all,

Harvard College Bowl is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a mirror of ARCADIA on Saturday, November 12, 2022!

Logistics:
The tournament will be held in Sever Hall/Emerson which are located in Harvard Yard. We recommend using the MBTA Red Line to get to the tournament, as parking options in the area are limited and traffic can be unpredictable. Registration will begin at 8:30 am: we aim to hold the opening meeting at 9:00 am and finish by 6:00 pm at the latest (teams in finals or tiebreakers may need to stay until 6:30 pm). There will be preliminary and playoff rounds, with rebracketing in between. A lunch break will take place when most convenient; teams will have access to a variety of food options in Harvard Square. Parking is admittedly difficult in Cambridge, but this is probably the best option.

Jeffrey Fung and I (Arjun Nageswaran) will be serving as tournament directors. We can be reached at [email protected].

Fees:
Tournament fees/discounts are the following:
+$125 per attending team
-$10 per working buzzer system (must have power cord and 8 functional buzzers, maximum three buzzer systems per organization)
-$15 per experienced moderator with laptop (must be familiar with quiz bowl rules/scoring, and have good pronunciation, speed, and reading skills)
-$10 if your team has to travel more than 200 miles one way, according to Google Maps

Registration:
The field size is capped at 12 teams, although the field size may expand if there is sufficient interest and staffer availability; all college teams are eligible to participate. To register, email [email protected]. Please include "ARCADIA Registration" in the email subject, and specify where you are from, the number of teams you would like to bring, and any relevant discounts. Registrations are not complete until we respond in some fashion saying so!

Code of Conduct:
Participants at all mirrors of ARCADIA will be expected to abide by the 2021 WORKSHOP Code of Conduct , with any online-specific protocols adjusted for in-person play.

Set Details:
Details for ARCADIA can be found here.

Please feel free to reach out to me or Jeffrey if you have any questions regarding the tournament!
