IHSSBCA Novice (10.12.2019) at Barrington HS

[the return of AHAN]

You are invited to register for the IHSSBCA Novice Scholastic Bowl Tournament on the campus of Barrington High School (616 West Main St, Barrington, IL) on Saturday, October 12, 2019. The fee is $50 for the first team, plus $45 for each subsequent team. There are no buzzer discounts, but teams are expected to bring working buzzer systems if they own one.

The Novice tournament is specially designed to appeal to newer or inexperienced players. Each round will consist of 20 tossup questions with 20 3-part bonuses. The tournament will use 15-point "powers" (reward for an early enough buzz), and there is no penalty for incorrect answers. Bonuses will rebound. There is no computational math in the SCOP Novice set.

This tournament is open to all IHSSBCA member teams with the following restrictions on individual players:
A player must have played fewer than 40 varsity-level matches for his or her school’s top team.

We're at 20 teams now. We're waitlisting until I can get to 24 teams.

Unless someone registers at the 11th hour, we're going to deploy a chimera in the 22nd spot. I didn't want to say 'no' to Whitney Young registering!

[the return of AHAN]

Rousted up enough BHS kids to split into 3 teams...only for Evanston Beacon to withdraw. So, I'm back to a possible chimera for the 22nd spot.
