The University of Minnesota is proud to announce the North mirror of the 2022 NAQT Sectional Championship Tournament on Saturday, February 5, 2022. We currently plan for this tournament to be in-person and will announce any changes to this by January 22.
Location
This tournament will take place in Nicholson Hall (216 Pillsbury Dr SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455). We recommend the Church Street Parking Garage.
Fees and Discounts:
$145 base fee for the first team from a school; $120 for second or subsequent teams
-$10 discount per working buzzer system (must accommodate at least eight players)
-$40 discount per experienced moderator
-$20 discount (per team) for schools new to quizbowl (neither competed in nor hosted SCT or ICT in 2020 or 2021)
-$20 discount (per team) for teams that travel 60 or more miles one-way (distance measured from your campus to Minnesota by Google Maps)
Payment
Due to changes in the way the University of Minnesota handles finances for student groups, teams will receive an invoice from the University (not UMN Quizbowl) after the tournament has taken place. Invoices may be paid electronically or by cash.
Registration
This tournament will use NAQT's online registration system. Please register here.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email [email protected].

As promised, stats are here: https://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/7314/
I'd especially like to thank everyone who came out to staff, but I'd ESPECIALLY like to thank Bernadette Spencer, whose willingness to sit in a room all day doing stats helped the tournament run extremely efficiently.

Shame Cornell didn't play DI. I get at least 50% of my points off other people negging.
Excellent job, Joe. To neg 55 times and still get 420 points means you must know an insane amount of things. If ever a performance deserved a Hampshire College frisbee calendar or a misautographed L. Ron Hubbard book, it was yours.

By the way, might I take a moment to brag on my teammates a bit?
My friends Matt Blaess and Chase Miller had never been to a Quiz Bowl practice. This was their first remotely-Quiz Bowl-related event. For unknown reasons they both agreed to join me on a 4-hour drive to Minnesota and do an activity they knew almost nothing about. I explained pyramidal questions/negs/tossups and bonuses on the drive from the hotel to the university.
With that in mind, their performances were phenomenal. Chase knew a great number of things, followed the questions very well, and buzzed very aggressively for a novice. Matt powered three questions and only negged once. Both directed good and even correct answers on bonuses multiple times while I was proposing absolutely stupid guesses. Also they had a great time and were delightful to be around, and helped with logistical things. Matt was our Navigator. Chase was our Reimbursement Receipt Czar. Chase also drove the rest of the way to Mount Vernon from Rochester and I got to sleep a bit.
That was probably our last tournament of the year but Matt and Chase have me feeling really, really good about next year.
