We just lost 4 teams from Langley due to this VHSL and NAQT 171A overlap (see prior posts).
So we are back in business looking for 4 more teams, 1 for varsity, 3 for novice, and any extras for the wait-list.

We have an amicable resolution to the VHSL and NAQT 171A overlap. This issue only applies to the local scrimmages and will not even affect some of the 5 Virginia schools involved with us due to using the questions derived from a different A packet.

One answer might be to have the 4 students affected by the Virginia League tournament from each school stay away from our tournament.
