PACE Information
Are there any plans to update the PACE website? I'd like to see the stats from last year. Also, is the 2005 date set in stone? We need to go ahead and make some plans... Especially since NAQT is the weekend before...

They're all there. T-Chuck changed the hosting site so maybe you're stuck seeing the old one.

Hotel information (revised 4/19)
Just to let you know I have finalized the group reservation for PACE at the Doubletree Hotel Orlando, 5780 Major Boulevard, Orlando FL 32819.
EDIT: Contact 1-800-222-TREE and request rooms as part of the "Valencia Community College PACE Quiz Bowl group."
We have 40 rooms (singles to quads) at a rate of $99 a night beginning Friday 6/10 and concluding Sunday 6/12/05 (so you can leave Monday). The group name is "Valencia Community College/PACE Quiz Bowl." Check-in time is 4pm each day, check-out is 11am.
Upon receipt of room confirmation, you can take the $50 discount for using the "official hotel." I am assuming the honor system for this case, so do not make me have to confirm every team.
The hotel is located just outside University Studios Florida.
We hope that you will all take advantage of using this official hotel, and we look forward to seeing you in June!

Only based on my experience with airline code discounts, try to use them. I think they would apply if there aren't any other cheaper rates.solonqb wrote:Should we still try to use the Panasonic discount codes for airlines?

Top 4 at any PACE-affiliated tournament, but each school has a limit of 2 bids (thus you could finish in the top 8 and be eligible for a bid).
(You could ask for a third bid in the event we have room in the field.)

Another question: Are there any old PACE questions available for download and/or purchase? I'd like to start getting my team (and myself) used to the format.
Thanks.

Dr. Chuck,
If we get there Friday and leave Sunday will there be enough time to take the team to Universal Studios? I don't know the schedule of the tournament, and I'd like to have some free time. If not, we may try and stay an extra day.
Also, is there somewhere we can get the questions from years past?
Thanks.

My understanding is that matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday, so if you're there early Friday, you'll have that whole day to do Universal. The two parks (Universal actually comprises Universal Studios, with backstage junk, tours, and some rides, as well as Islands of Adventure, which is nearly all rides) are open from 9 am till 8 pm. And the restaurants and clubs at the front of the park, including Emeril's, Hard Rock, etc., are open at least till 11 pm.
Last year in Maryland the tournament finished by 4 pm or so, meaning if you don't leave till Monday, you could get some more time in Sunday evening.

OK - I've asked this a few times, but it always seems to get buried before I get a reply. So - here goes again:
Is there anywhere I can download/buy/trade/otherwise GET questions from PACE tournaments of years past?

Yes, the 2005 PACE NSC will take place at the West campus of Valencia Community College. The campus is 3.2 miles north on Kirkman Road from the official hotel, the Doubletree, which itself is across the street from the Universal Studios complex. I am not aware of any public transportation or shuttles between the hotel and the campus (maybe Mr. Borglum can fill us in on that), and it appears there are not many eating establishments within walking distance of the campus, so it would probably be a good idea to rent a car.
As for old PACE question sets, I will talk to Dr. Chuck about getting some up on the website.

As Dan wrote earlier, the tournament will be at Valencia's West Campus, which is at 1800 S. Kirkman Rd., Orlando, FL, 32810. The Doubletree is walking distance to a TGI Friday's and, I think, a Bennigan's; however, there is no shuttle to the campus, so a car will be necessary. Worse, Valencia last year got rid of its 15-passenger vans, so we don't have any way to do any informal shuttling, either.
Again, feel free to direct any logistical or Orlando questions to me at [email protected]

To much fanfare, I have finally updated the website. Sorry about the delay. Those who know realize how busy and distracted things are for me right now, so I appreciate your patience with this.

Rosters and T-shirts
ROSTERS DUE MAY 15:
This is the first official call for rosters for all teams that intend to compete at the 2005 NSC. The following information is needed from all teams:
1) For each student:
First name (or preferred name)
Last name
Grade level in 2004-2005
College to be attended for graduating seniors
Years as a previous PACE NSC participant
T-shirt size (see below)
* While you may opt to designate a captain, it is not necessary. You can also change rosters on-site before the first game is played.
2) For each coach or chaperone:
First name (or preferred name)
Last name
Affiliation with school
T-shirt size (see below)
3) A photograph JPEG format of the team members, preferably with coaches. Please caption the photograph so I don't make wild speculations.
T-SHIRT PRE-ORDERS:
As extra incentive for submitting rosters on time, PACE is making T-shirts for participants for the 2005 NSC. Currently we are planning on providing shirts to all students listed on submitted rosters and a coach (up to 7 per registered TEAM). Any extra T-shirts could be purchased (preferably in advance) for $10 each, though we are working on the details for that.
I presume that the bulk of our orders will be "large" or "extra large", so those of you with "medium" or "extra extra large" builds should let us know through the pre-order process.
We are taking all T-shirt pre-orders until Sunday, May 15.
As it stands, send all rosters and sizes to me (Dr. Chuck) by email. As soon as I receive that, I will then send out an invoice for your team (should you require it to process your check).
EXTRA:
Finally, PACE announces one change in the procedure for All-Scholars team selection. We have traditionally selected 8 individuals for all-star status, with a minimum of 4 individuals voted in based upon statistics and the other 4 by vote.
This year, the four all-stars selected by statistics will be determined based on preliminary round results only and will be announced on Sunday. That way, all teams and staff can exclude those four individuals when making their choices to be on the all-star team. This should make the balloting process much easier.

If we can get them repaired quickly enough, I can probably bring several buzzer systems... The problem is that they are all kinda quirky right now... I'll see if we can get them fixed in time.

We probably don't "need" you guys at UF to bring more buzzers and readers, but if you have a group that would like to help out (and bring buzzers with you), I'm sure the more the merrier. Contact CB if you have a group interested in coming down; I think you'll enjoy the experience too.quizbowlmike wrote:If you get in a jam and dont have enough, just let me know and I can probably get 3-5 buzzers and a few college readers from UF.

Of course, I subscribe to one of the many rules of tournament directing (which one day I will write down): you can never have too many buzzers or experienced volunteers. (Well, okay, four staff to a room may be too many.)
