WAIT Online Knowledge Event (Discord, March 28th)
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2020 10:14 am
I am pleased to announce the WAIT Online Knowledge Event (WOKE), an online mirror of the 2019-20 WAIT question set scheduled for March 28th, 2020. This tournament will be conducted over Discord.
The tournament will be run on the Wayzata Academic Invitational Tournament question set which was housewritten by a team of current Wayzata Quiz Bowl players and edited by a team consisting predominantly of Wayzata alumni. The set is aimed for regular high school difficulty akin to a NAQT Invitational Series (NAQT IS) set and more details about the set can be found here.
This tournament will be tentatively capped at 12 teams, although the field size may increase or decrease depending on interest and staff availability.
Eligibility:
WOKE will be a high school closed tournament. This tournament is closed to all high school teams and players must play with fellow players who attend the same school.
Schedule:
We are planning for the tournament to begin at 9 AM CDT (10AM EDT/7 AM PDT) and we will be using a format that keeps the total number of rounds played at around ten in order to make sure that the tournament does not drag on too long. If there is interest, we may run the leftover packets in a shootout format after completion of the main tournament.
Fees:
The registration fee for this tournament will be $60 per team.
Staff:
This tournament will be staffed primarily by Wayzata players who were involved in the production of this set and helped staff the WAIT Main Site this past fall.
Registration:
Teams can register for this tournament by using this spreadsheet.
If you have any questions please reach out to me either through a message on the forums or by emailing me at benweiner27 AT gmail DOT com.
