It is my pleasure to announce formally the eighth annual Detroit Country Day School Middle School Quiz Bowl Tournament, to be held on Saturday, January 25, 2020. This will be a NAQT untimed event, with 20 tossup/bonus sets per game, using packet MS-32; the top 15% of teams in attendance will qualify for NAQT middle school nationals in Chicago on May 9-10, 2020.

The tournament will be held at the Detroit Country Day School Upper School campus in Beverly Hills, MI. We will have a field cap of 32 teams. If a school wishes to register more than four teams, any excess teams will be wait-listed until the close of registration on January 18, 2020.

The fee schedule will be as follows :

$40 for the second team from a school
NO CHARGE for each team beyond the second from a school

Dr. McNellen,
You should probably edit your subject to say (MS-32) or you may have teams attending the DCC tournament think they can't come.

Done.

Thanks to all the teams that came out on this conflict-laden Saturday! It proved to be an extremely competitive day, featuring an unusually high amount of close matches. In the end, Gagie A (10-0) pulled out a thrilling come-from-behind victory over St. Michael's A (9-1) to earn the tournament title. St. Michael's B earned the third and final qualifying spot by edging out Gagie B with a fifteen point victory margin.

Hope to see everyone again next year!
