NAQT Collegiate Novice @ UGA (9/25/21)

Post by Kino Noir »

UGA Quizbowl will host a mirror of NAQT's collegiate novice set (CNS-204C) on September 25, 2021. This tournament is intended for teams and players newer to collegiate quiz bowl. The field has a cap of 12 teams but is subject to expansion given enough staffers and buzzers. Kota Roberson will be directing this tournament. Registration for this tournament is open and will close on September 22, 2021.

Fees and Payment
Base Fee: $80
-$10 for each working buzzer set
-$15 for each capable staffer; staffers wishing to moderate should create an NAQT account to be able to access packets.
-$40 for new schools (have not played a college tournament between September 1, 2019 and September 1, 2021)
Minimum Fee: $40

Eligibility
This tournament is intended for newer players, particularly those in their first two years of collegiate quiz bowl. As such, the following eligibility requirements will apply:
1. As the collegiate novice set has overlap with one of NAQT's high school sets (IS-204), high school teams and players are not eligible for this tournament.
2. Players who meet any of the below criteria must be approved by the TD before being allowed to play. Any appeals can be sent to [email protected].
  • Has played a college quiz bowl tournament prior to the 2020-2021 school year.
  • Has scored 40 PPG or more in either major high school national (HSNCT or NSC)
  • Has scored 10 PPG or more on a team that finished in the top playoff bracket (1st-24th) at NSC or finished T-49th or better at HSNCT
  • Has scored 30 PPG or more in any tournament run on a college set.
  • Has played in or qualified for either college national tournament (ICT or ACF Nationals)
Logistics
The tournament will be held in the Zell B. Miller Learning Center on UGA's campus (it's the one with four columns at the front of it). We suggest you park at the Legion Pool lot (W06) since it's the closest parking lot that is free on weekends. All attendees will be expected to wear a mask throughout the duration of the tournament.

Registration
Registration will be done through NAQT, the link to do so is here. Please make an NAQT account to register if you don't already have one. If you have any questions, eligibility concerns or would like to register through email, let us know at [email protected].

The field for this tournament is now full, and any new teams that sign up will be placed on the waitlist in case a team drops. Team contacts will receive a logistics email within the next few days. We look forward to seeing everyone in Athens this Saturday!
