I am pleased to announce that the Florida site of Spring Undergraduate Novice (SUN) 2020 will be held at the University of Florida on Saturday, April 11th, 2020. The main link to this set with information of distribution, difficulty, and other pertinent details can be found at: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23049

The tournament will take place somewhere on UF's campus (building TBA), with team check-in beginning at 8:30 AM and gameplay beginning promptly at 9 AM. I will be serving as the tournament director. Please direct any questions about this site to me at [email protected]

Eligibility
This will be a closed tournament. Teams must be comprised entirely of players enrolled at the same institution. Colleges, community colleges, and high schools are all eligible to play. The main post for SUN outlines the general eligibility guidelines for the set. We strongly encourage schools to only bring players who are in either their first or second year of playing collegiate quizbowl (and did not have extensive high school experience) and players who do not generally finish near the top of scoring leaderboards at regular difficulty collegiate tournaments or at NAQT HSNCT, PACE NSC, or similar high school national championship tournaments. As the tournament director, I reserve the right to prohibit any individual from playing this tournament on the basis of experience or skill. If you have any questions about eligibility, please email me at [email protected]

Rules
This tournament will follow ACF gameplay rules.
