Susquehanna Middleschool Academic Recall Tournament (SusMART), 2/5/22 (Converting to ONLINE)

Post by x'x(-1)x'y »

Berwick Area Quiz Bowl proudly announces that the inaugural Susquehanna Middleschool Academic Recall Tournament (SusMART) will take place online while hosted from Berwick Area High School on Saturday, February 5th. SusMART will be a regular difficulty middle school tournament and hopes to draw 6th through 8th grade students both from experienced quiz bowl schools and new to Saturday tournaments from across eastern PA and beyond. Pennsylvania schools, please consider attending what will be the first – and perhaps only? – middle school quiz bowl tournament on NAQT questions in Pennsylvania this year!
The tournament will use the MS-40 set from NAQT, and registration will be conducted using NAQT’s registration system: https://www.naqt.com/registration/field ... t_id=13010

This tournament is now going to be held online. We ask that schools outside of Pennsylvania who haven't attended tournaments in Pennsylvania in the past to please wait until after January 24 to register -- please contact me through the NAQT post above if you are interested. Priority will be given to schools lacking nearby opportunities to participate in quiz bowl this year.
