Post by njsbling »

NCQBA and Rio Americano HS are pleased to announce that the Sacramento Fall HS Tournament will be held on Saturday, September 23, 2017. All teams will play in one division; we will not have separate JV and Varsity divisions. The field cap is 18 teams.

Location: This tournament will take place at Rio Americano HS, 4540 American River Drive, Sacramento, California. Registration will begin at 9:00AM and we plan to start round 1 at 9:30AM.

Questions: We will be using NAQT IS-167A

Eligibility: All high schools (public, private, charter, religious, homeschool, etc.) are eligible to play in this event.

Schools are encouraged to enter multiple teams, but please note that participants must play for the same team throughout the tournament.

Fees:

Base fee: $65 per team

-$10 per working buzzer system (must accommodate at least eight players)

-$10 per scorekeeper (We will hold a brief training session during check-in for volunteers who have never kept score before)

-$15 per experienced moderator

-$10 if your school successfully recruits a new school (see definition below) to compete

Schools that are new to quiz bowl (defined as having played zero quiz bowl tournaments during the 2016-2017 school year) will play this tournament for free. Any schools from Nevada will also play this tournament for free.

Minimum Entry Fee: $0 per team

Payment (cash or check) will be taken at check-in on September 23

Douglas High School, from Minden, Nevada, would like to bring a team. We plan to have five students. How many students play in each round? (In our NAQT in Reno we play 4 at a time with substitutions)?
We see that Nevada teams are free this time, and that is amazing! We can bring a buzzer system if you would like us to.

Welcome! We're glad to have a Nevada school making the trip over the Sierras to join us.

Four players play at a time (substitutions are allowed between games, at halftime, and before overtime if needed).
