WKU Fall JV Tournament (Bowling Green, KY 10/27/12)
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2012 3:56 pm
The WKU Academic Competition Club will be hosting an academic tournament for JV High School (freshmen and sophomores) quizbowl teams on October 27. This tournament is just two weeks before Kentucky's annual JV Challenge tournament, and we encourage teams attending that to come to our tournament. I will be serving as Tournament Director. Feel free to email me 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) shortly. This tournament will be hosted concurrently with a middle 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.
Location: Cherry Hall, Western Kentucky University (Bowling Green, KY)
Questions: Along with our Middle School division on the same day, this tournament will be a mirror of SCOP Novice.
Fee: $60 per team. Every team that attends must bring a buzzer system and a staffer. Normally we would not require all teams to bring staffers, but everyone should have older players who are not eligible to play this tournament, and we encourage you to bring them along to help us out. If they need convincing, let them know we'll feed them breakfast and lunch for free.
Payment: We would prefer you pay on the day of the tournament, rather than sending a check ahead of time. Please do not be extraordinarily late with payment, or we reserve the right charge an additional $20 for each month the payment is late. We will accept cash or check, and 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 previous tournaments.
