The 2021 Scottie

Post by Scottietodd »

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to announce the 2021 Scottie, to be held on Saturday, September 18, 2021. We anticipate that the Scottie will be IN-PERSON this year. However, if the Scottie should end up as a virtual tournament, it will still be held on Saturday, September 18, 2021.

The Scottie is a house-write by current and former players and staff for Glasgow High School and will be edited by:
Coach Todd Garrison - Head coach at Glasgow High School
Tyler Reid - Former Scottie and University of Kentucky QBer. KQBA Board Member.
Olivia Kiser - Former Scottie, University of Chicago QBer, and University of Illinois QBer (congrats on Runner-up at ICT!)
Jason Dooley - Assistant Coach at GHS. Longtime Kentucky moderator extraordinaire!

The Scottie will initially be limited to 24 teams. As we get closer, we may expand to 30 teams. Teams will be seeded into pools of 6 for round robin play in the morning and will be rebracketed into playoffs in the afternoons. Each team will be guaranteed at least 9 matches, but may each have 10 or 11 depending on the format. You will receive notice about this with plenty of time to plan.

The Scottie will most likely receive PACE Platinum certification, qualifying the top 6 teams for the PACE National Championship.

Each round will consist of 20 tossups with three-part bonuses that will bounce back. (If the Scottie becomes a virtual event, the bonuses will not bounce back.) There will be 15 point powers but no negs.

The question distribution will include the following:
History 4/4 - American, Anglo, Euro, World
Literature 4/4 - American, British, Euro, World
Science 4/4 - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Other (Astronomy, Earth, non-comp Math)
Art 3/3 - Visual, Auditory, Other (Musicals, film, architecture, dance)
Religion 1/1
Mythology 1/1
Thought 1/1 Philosophy, Social Science
Geography 1/1
Pop Culture-Trash 0.5/0.5
Current Events 0.5/0.5
(The above is under discussion by the writing staff and may be tweaked slightly, but not in a major way.)

The fee for each team will be $75 with a $10 discount per team per 1 working lockout buzzer system.

Schools will be limited to 2 teams (A/B) until August 15th, after which teams may enter more teams if openings exist.
You may preregister here: ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... sp=sf_link ). Teams that preregister will be asked to confirm their registrations between August 1 and August 15.
