Michigan Winter Tournament (MWT) @ Auburn- 1/18/20
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:34 pm
I am pleased to announce that Auburn University will be hosting the Southeast mirror of the Michigan Winter Tournament on Saturday, January 18, 2020. The tournament will be hosted on the Auburn University campus in the Haley Center (351 W Thach Concourse, Auburn, AL 36849). This is a closed tournament, but high schools may play. I will be the tournament director for this tournament.
The tournament's main announcement can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22581. MWT aims to be medium difficulty, similar to the difficulty of past EFTs and easier than ACF Regionals. Notably, the tournament will feature packets of 22 tossups and 22 bonuses, all of which will be read. Also, I am editing the visual arts for this tournament, so it would be super cool if lots of teams came to play.
LOCATION, PARKING, TIME:
This tournament will take place in the Haley Center (351 W Thach Concourse, Auburn, AL 36849). Parking on campus is free on weekends. Park in the stadium deck across from the football stadium and follow Heisman Drive to the Haley Center. It is old, tall, and brick.
On the day of the tournament, teams should arrive between 8:15-8:40. We will start at 9:00.
FIELD:
For now, I'm going to cap the field for this tournament at 12 teams. I'll try my best to expand if there's more interest.
FEES:
$120 base fee
-$5 per working buzzer (max 2 per team)
PLEASE BRING YOUR BUZZERS!
-$20 per competent staffer (as determined by me)
-$10 per 200 miles traveled one way from your school to Auburn University as determined by Google Maps.
REGISTRATION:
To register, please email me at [email protected] and indicate the number of teams, buzzers, and staffers you'll be bringing.
PAYMENT:
We can accept cash/checks on the day of the tournament. Please make checks out to "Auburn Quiz Bowl" and not me personally/the university.
