Eligibility
We do not intend on placing specific rules about eligibility amongst college individuals. However, we do ask that collegiate teams realize that this tournament is intended for those who are new to quizbowl and create their rosters with that in mind. With that said, the University of Minnesota Quizbowl Team reserves full rights to bar any proposed teams that go against the spirit and purpose of a novice tournament.

High school teams and their coaches are not allowed to play or staff events using the Collegiate Novice series.

Field
We will begin with an initial field cap of 12 teams, and expand as more teams register. The field will be updated below.

Feel free to email [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns! Thank you!
