St. Joes's Rescheduled GSAC: April 12, 2014
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 10:25 am
Saint Joseph High School is pleased to announce the rescheduling of its 4th Annual GARDEN STATE ACADEMIC COMPETITION, a Mirror of GSAC XXI.
The New Date: April 12, 2014
The Set: The Question Set is authored by our distinguished friends from the Maggie Walker Governor's School in Richmond, Virginia.
Set Distribution: 4/4 Lit; 4/4 Science; 4/4 History; 3/3 RMP; 3/3 Fine Arts; 1/1 Social Science; .5/.5 Geography; .5/.5 Trash
Fee Structure: $70.00 for the first team; $60.00 for each additional team.
Discounts: $10.00 for each working buzzer system; $15.00 for each moderator; $20.00 for travel of more than 100 miles. Minimum payment per team: $40.00
Registration: We are targeting a registration of 24-36 teams, with a limit of 4 teams per school, ideally hoping for four to six brackets of 6. HOWEVER, since registrations have filled up so rapidly in the region this year, we will only accept the first two teams you register for now in order to give more schools the time to register, and any teams in excess of two from your school will be placed on a waiting list. If by February 1st the field is not yet full, we will then place teams from the waiting list into the field on a first come, first served basis, so if you want more than two teams in the field, let us know immediately and they will be placed at the top of the waiting list. Now, back to the tournament itself: We will have round-robin preliminaries, then re-bracket and have another round-robin for all teams in the afternoon. We hope to have a minimum of 10 games for all teams, and 11 for those in the Championship brackets. You can reveal your interest by posting here, but in order to officially register please email me at [email protected] Just place " April GSAC" in the subject line and then provide your registration info as well as an emergency phone number where coaches can be quickly reached. On the day of the tournament we will run registration from 7:45 AM-8:45 AM and start Round 1 by 9AM. During registration we will have a light breakfast of bagels & juice while we finalize preliminary brackets. Also, we have ample parking in the back of our school if parking is a concern, and you can park behind our Main Building and enter the cafeteria in the back, which you cannot miss. Also, if you need an invoice for your school's financial officer, email me and I will send one via return email.
Payment: This is expected in cash or by check the morning of registration, but if you wish to mail it sooner make your check payable to Saint Joseph High School and mail it to : Ed Powers, c/o Saint Joseph High School, 145 Plainfield Avenue, Metuchen, NJ. You can also place this address in your GPS or your Mapquest/Google program and find us easily. We look forward to seeing you on the 12th of April!
