A temporary cap of 24 teams is in place. However, any team after this cap is reached will be placed on a waitiong list. Provided sufficient staff can be provided as well as more rooms, those teams will then be added. We will also put all C teams on the waiting list until space within the field can be made. Also, if there is enough interested teams that don't make this field, we will try to run another tournament on the same questions, to accommodate them.

if any of you are interested email me at
[email protected]

Also, we will be using NAQT IS #66 questionset if there is any question conflicts.

This is an update on the tournament registration. So far, I am way under the cap of 24 teams. So far we have...

Rochester (2)
Brighton

and several verbal commmitments/interest.

However, verbal commitments are not solid therefore they are not being counted until I get an email or hard document that confirms registration. I will be at the tournament Gary Sharon is running at MSU Jan. 27 if anyone would like to reach me. Also me email is [email protected].

Another update on the registration. I am still shy of half of the cap, but I do officially have enough to go ahead with the tournament. Teams are as follows...

Rochester (2)
Brighton
White Cloud
Harper Creek
Grosse Pte. North
Novi (2)
Sand Creek ??

There is still plenty of room.

Can we get a field update, I'm going to run it by my team this week and see if they'd be interested in driving up.

current field of teams is at 17 or 18

Rochester (2)
Novi (2)
Sand Creek (2)
Country Day (2)
Farmington (2)
East Lansing
Lumen Chisti (1 or 2)
Brighton
White Cloud
Harper Creek

Mercy

We're coming, I sent you an email.

Since you are from Ohio, and since I have claimed geograhpic exclusivity for Michigan, I will have to put your team on the waiting list. However, I tlooks like I will have a few open spots left. So, as of now I would say that your in. I'll send you an electronic copy of the registration form tomorrow.

current field of teams is at 19 or 20

I need to know who to have the check made out to, and also where to send it, address-wise.

Ditto. Can you send an invoice for one team, when you get a chance?

Nope, they did not drop. It says Tipp City there Mr. Kilner.

Ugh, yup, I can't read.

Although I have not received a set of directions from Kirk. Neither thru email or snail mail. I did get directions to Wayne State itself, but not to the tournament site.

Thanks to all of those who were a part of the first ever high school quiz bowl tournament at Wayne State.

You don't happen to have any PPB stats do you -- I'd be interested in seeing them to compare these results with other tournaments that are using this set.

Thanks for your help.

Brian,
Most of the stats were worked out by hand because of problems that Kirk had with the computer... so I don't think they had that stat.
