Eisenhower Memorial Tournament at Princeton - April 15
Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2017 1:53 am
Hello, everyone. This spring, Princeton University will be hosting a mirror of the Eisenhower Memorial Tournament; full details for the set can be found here. I will be serving as tournament director.
Date:
We were unable to secure our facilities on our preferred date of April 1; instead, we would like to invite interested teams to rank their preferred dates from among the following: April 15, April 29, and May 6. Preferences can be discussed in this thread. If any (or all) of these dates absolutely do not work, please let us know that as well—the last thing we want is for teams not to be able to play this tournament, so if worst comes to worst we would like to be able to pass off the torch of tournament directing to another school in a timely manner.
Update: this tournament will take place on April 15.
Location and Time:
The tournament will take place in Robertson Hall. A map of campus can be found here.
Check-in will begin on the day of the tournament at 8:30 am. We hope to begin the first match by 9:00 am.
Eligibility:
Per the original announcement: “Only undergraduate and high school students can play this tournament. If you are a grad student, you generally may not play. "Undergraduate" in this case does not follow the traditional ACF definition--fifth-year (or greater) undergraduates with no bachelor's-level degree are still eligible to play. (This is identical to the eligibility rules of last year's MUT.) Exceptions may be granted based on [the tournament writers’] discretion, depending on the state of the local circuit.”
Registration and Fees:
College base fee: $120
High School base fee: $100
Buzzer discount: -$5 per working system.
Staff discount: -$10 per staffer, subject to TD approval. Staffers will also be provided with lunch.
Travel discount: -$10 per 200 miles traveled one-way, as determined by Google Maps.
Minimum fee: $40
To register for this tournament, please e-mail me at [email protected]. Please include in your email the number of teams, buzzers, and staffers you plan on bringing, as well as a cell phone number that can be used to contact you on the day of the tournament. If you don’t hear back from me within a few days, please try again.
Payment can be made in the form of cash or check on the day of the tournament. Checks should be made out to “Princeton University Quiz Bowl.”
Lunch:
Lunch will not be provided, except to staff. A number of eating options are available on Nassau Street at the north end of campus. Teams can also purchase lunch at Frist Campus Center.

High Tech - 2

The field will be tentatively capped at the first 18 teams to register.
