CBCT X (10/23/10) at UC Irvine

Post by cvdwightw »

This is an updated version of the original announcement, which was not posted here.

The UCI College Bowl Club is pleased to announce the return of CBCT, our annual fall high school tournament. This will be our tenth incarnation.

When and Where: This tournament will take place on Saturday, October 23 at UCI's campus. We anticipate the tournament being in Humanities Hall but will notify teams of any changes in room assignments.

Format: We will be using HSAPQ's fall invitational tournament set. The length, style, and difficulty of the questions are similar to last year's HSAPQ Tourn-9 and Tourn-10, which can be freely downloaded (along with all of HSAPQ's other sets from last year) here. We will be using ACF-style rules with 15-point powers. The major difference between these rules and rules for untimed NAQT is that players have 5 seconds to buzz in at the end of the tossup and 5 seconds to begin a response after buzzing in. Please contact me if you have any questions about HSAPQ or ACF-style rules.

We expect to have PACE affiliation, and as such the top 2 teams would qualify for the 2011 PACE NSC. Should we reach a field size of 20 teams, the top 4 teams would qualify for the 2011 PACE NSC. In the past this tournament has received PACE's Gold Certification status; should we achieve that status again, the next two teams would also qualify.

Pricing Structure:
Base Fee: $80 for the first team, $70 for subsequent teams
Per-School Discounts:
-$5 for each working buzzer
-$5 for each full-time scorekeeper (this function can be fulfilled by a coach or rotating fifth player who keeps official score in all games involving his or her team)
-$15 for each approved full-time moderator
-$5 per 100 miles traveled one-way (From your school to our school)
Minimum fee: $50 per team

New School Discount: Schools that have not attended a tournament at UCI in the past 3 years play for the minimum per-team fee.
Self-Sufficiency Discount: Schools that bring two teams, one working buzzer, and one approved moderator pay $90 total for those two teams. As this is below the per-team minimum fee, no other discounts apply towards those two teams, but additional discounts may be counted for third and subsequent teams.

Payment should be brought to the tournament and can be in cash or by personal or organizational check. Checks should be made out to "College Bowl Club at UCI." If you cannot bring payment with you to the tournament, or wish to mail a check in advance, please contact the tournament directors prior to the tournament. Failure to pay the day of the tournament, or make other arrangements prior to the tournament, may result in a late fee of $10.

The tournament directors are Kevin Nuno ([email protected]) and Dwight Wynne ([email protected]). To register, e-mail both directors with your school's name, coach (or representative) name and e-mail address, the number of teams you would like to bring, and any applicable discounts you plan to take advantage of. We have capped the tournament at 14 teams, but expect to have the room space to accommodate up to 24 teams, buzzers and moderators permitting.

This is also a reminder that this announcement, and all other tournament announcements for Southern California tournaments, are posted publicly at http://www.socalquizbowl.org/, along with a tournament calendar for the region.

I can no longer drive with a broken finger (they gave me a full arm cast) but I'll ask around at practice to see if anyone UCLA can come down if Ray is still able to drive us down from his Culver City area.

This is no longer the case, but I am fairly certain that we can handle things if the number of teams stays around where it is.

RB's only going to be able to bring one team. Sorry for the (very) late notice, some underclassmen who were going to come decided today to drop out.

Results through Round [edit: 10] are posted here. It will probably be updated throughout the day because it's not like it takes me more than a few minutes to enter four scoresheets.

EDIT: Stats are complete. Rancho Bernardo went undefeated to win. North Hollywood and University A tied for second.
