9/19/15 - Unnamed House-Written Tournament at West Point
West Point High School in Cullman, AL will be hosting our first-annual house-written tournament on Sept. 19. We will be shooting for a difficulty level somewhere between NAQT A-series and Regular IS-sets. We will also still be hosting a tournament on NAQT questions in December.
Registration for this event will be $60 per team with a $5 discount per buzzer system per team.
The questions will be power-marked and we will use powers and negs.
Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in attending. E-mail me [email protected].
Also, this set will be available for mirrors after Sept. 19. Please contact me if you are interested in mirroring our tournament for details.
Thanks.

Sure. $55 for each additional team.cwest123 wrote:Will there be discounts for additional teams?
We will also likely have JV division if there are enough interested JV teams. At the very least, we will give a trophy to the top JV team(s).

If this tournament isn't renamed "Lee Henry's House Party", I'm not sure I can come.

James Clemens plans to bring one team and one buzzer system. Can the registration fees be paid onsite on the tournament date?

Fair enough.
SMART I: Lee Henry's House Party.
As for format, it will be NAQT-style tossups and bonuses, complete with powers and negs.
I will decide whether to do pools, power-matching, etc. when I get a definite number of teams.

What time will gameplay begin, and is there an estimate of the time that we will finish at?

I sent all this information to the coaches.sharathun wrote:What time will gameplay begin, and is there an estimate of the time that we will finish at?
Try to arrive between 8:00 and 8:15. I hope to be playing by 8:30.
I hate trying to estimate when a tournament will end, but we're usually done by 4:00.

Can we expect full stats by Monday?
Good Hope greatly enjoyed the set and tournament as a whole, and would like to thank you guys. We thought the set was very well written.

I'm working on stats now. Unfortunately, it looks like a few score sheets have gone missing... So the stats will not be 100% complete.
