New schools (schools that did not play a tournament in the 2018-2019 season) will pay a flat fee of $30 per team.

For returning schools:
$90 for the first team
$80 for each additional team

Teams of more than six players will not be accepted for either new or returning teams.

Discounts:
-$20 per school that successfully introduces quizbowl to another school
-$5 per working buzzer system (must accommodate at least eight players)
-$10 per experienced moderator that provides their own laptop or tablet capable of editing Google Sheets
-$5 per 50 miles traveled per team (one-way)

Early Registration Discounts:

-Additional $10 per team that registers on or before October 12

Minimum Fees:
$40 for each regular team
$30 for each new school team


How to Register:
More logistics information will be provided closer to the date of the tournament to teams that have registered. To register (or if you have any questions), email us at [email protected] with:
1. How many teams you expect to bring in each division(include a request for waitlisted teams)
2. The number of buzzers and moderators you can provide
3. A contact email and phone number
4. Additional discounts (new school or distance)
5. Final expected cost (excluding waitlisted teams)
Please include the name of the tournament as well as your school in the subject of your email ("UCSD registration for Triton Fall")

Registration Limits:
We will implement a soft field cap of 20 teams until we can confirm rooms and staffers, with soft caps of 12 teams for Varsity and 8 teams for Junior Varsity. Returning schools will be limited to registering three teams each. Any additional teams they would like to register will be placed onto a waitlist. If reserved spots are not filled one week prior to the tournament or we can expand the field cap, teams on the waitlist will be let off.
