-$5 for a fully-functional buzzer system (Must have four working buzzers on both sides)
-$20 New School Discount (must not have played in any pyramidal tournament as a school since September 1, 2009)
-$10 for a moderator or staff member (The TD has the right to accept or reject the moderator and also reserves the right to withdraw the discount retroactive to payment.)
Additionally, we will offer paper copies of the questions on the day of the tournament for $10, while we will also be able to mail questions to teams in attendance at a later date for $15.
The field will be capped at 16 teams unless there is excessive demand complimented by excessive resources. In order to ensure a smooth tournament we will not expand the field until we have enough staff known.
WARNING! If you cannot have payment by tournament date, please contact the TD with at least 24 hours notice. If you arrive without warning of delinquent payment to tournament, we will assess a $50 penalty to be paid immediately in addition to the regular payment, which must be received by us within ten business days.
Checks should be made out to "College Bowl Club of UCLA". Please do NOT change this wording. For reasons of financial security, if possible, please bring the check to the tournament rather than mailing it in advance.
