WKU Fall Middle School Tournament (10/29/2011)

Post by Rococo A Go Go »

On October 29, the WKU Academic Competition Club will be hosting an academic tournament for middle school quizbowl teams in Kentucky and Tennessee, although we'll welcome any team who wants to come here to play and hasn't seen the questions. Brian Riddle will be serving as Tournament Director. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or Brian at [email protected] with any questions, concerns, or advice. We'll be sending out information to schools (along with a registration form that can be used as an invoice) in August.

This tournament will be hosted concurrently with JV High School division, which will likely be running in the same building on the same questions. This creates some space limitations, but we have decided to split the difference and cap the field for each division at 18 teams a piece. Because of this, schools are limited to registering one team until October 1, which is three weeks before the tournament. After that, schools can register as many teams as they want. Schools may express interest for additional teams to be put on to a waitlist, and then moved into the field if there is room in October.

Location: Grise Hall, Western Kentucky University (Bowling Green, KY)

Questions: We have been in discussions to make this tournament a mirror of SCOP Novice.

Fee: $50 per team. Every team that attends must bring a buzzer system and a staffer. There will be a hospitality room for staffers, coaches, bus drivers, etc. and they will be served a free breakfast and lunch.

Payment: Please pay on the day of the tournament, rather than sending payment ahead of time. We will accept cash or check, and we can accept purchase orders I think. All checks should be made out to the Academic Competition Club.

Format: We will have a pool play format (probably pools of 4, 5, or 6 depending on field size) and will rebracket into another set of pools in the afternoon that are based on performance in the morning. This is the same format we have used at our previous tournaments.

To register, coaches can e-mail Brian at [email protected]

Quick Results:

1. Campbell County
2. Pulaski Southern
3. Danville Bate
4. Edmonson County

Campbell and Southern were both 6-2 on the day, but Campbell had the tiebreaker over Southern. Brian will have more details and stats either tonight or tomorrow.
