UCSD Triton Fall Tournament 11/12/11
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 12:54 am
We'd like to invite teams back to UCSD for our third annual Triton Fall Tournament (TFT), which will be held on November 12th on the UCSD campus, likely in the same location (the HSS building) as most of our high school tournaments. The questions this time will be from HSAPQ.
NATIONAL QUALIFIER: We will be seeking PACE affiliation with TFT, wherein the top percentage of teams at TFT will qualify for the 2012 PACE National Scholastic Competition.
FORMAT: We plan to run a similar format of initial round-robins followed by a playoff regrouped round-robin. Matches will again be 20 tossups and up to 20 bonuses.
REGISTRATION: Please only officially register by emailing us at ucsdqb [at] gmail.com once you can be fairly certain you'll be able to come so that we don't have teams dropping out 24 hours before the tournament or not showing up at the tournament and messing up the schedule. Letting us know that you're interested is also encouraged, even if you can't commit to register yet. Posting in this thread does not count as an official registration.
We'll be implementing a few changes in the interest of making the tournament run faster:
Teams will be allowed to have 5 players total, so 4 players and one alternates. When you register, please send us a roster with who will be on your team early on so we can set up our stat-keeping software in advance. Subsequent roster changes are fine, but the more information we have now the better.
FEES:
Base fee (first team): $80
Second team and subsequent teams from the same school: $60 each
*Teams in difficult financial situations should contact us directly to discuss possible options
**We're also more than happy to help with ideas on how to raise funding through quizbowl activities like tournament hosting or writing questions
Discounts:
-$40 per team for new schools
-$20 for a competent moderator
-$10 for a competent scorekeeper
-$5 for buzzer system
-$5 for every 50 miles traveled, one-way, as judged by google maps from the school to UCSD
CONTACT: All questions and inquiries are welcome. Contact Tournament Director Brian Tsui at ucsdqb [at] gmail.com.
