NASAT Open Mirror + Open Weekend @ Minnesota (August 20th, 2022)

Post by BenWeiner27 »

The University of Minnesota Quizbowl team is excited to announce an open mirror of the 2022 NASAT set on Saturday August 20th, 2022, which will serve as the anchor event of our 2022 UMN Open Weekend. The tournament will be held in Folwell Hall on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities campus. I, Ben Weiner, will be the tournament director.

Question Set
This tournament will be played on IQBT’s 2022 NASAT question set. More information about the question set can be found here .

Payment
This tournament has a fee of $30/player.

Teams registering for this tournament (or any other UMN tournament) will be invoiced by the University of Minnesota’s finance department with instructions on how to pay as the date of the tournament nears.

COVID-19 Policy
In order to minimize risk of transmission given that we are anticipating many players travelling from out of state for this tournament, all players, staffers, and spectators will be required to wear a face covering at all times during the tournament except while in the act of eating or drinking.

Team Formation
A team formation and free agent sign-up sheet can be found here. This tournament will have a hard field cap of 12 teams.

Side Events
As part of the open weekend, we are planning to host a mirror of the 2022 CO Trash set on Sunday, August 21st. On Sunday evening, after the main event, we will be hosting a mirror of MUSES III.

CO Trash Sign Up (a separate announcement will be up shortly after we finalize details)
MUSES III Sign Up

Minor Chaperone Policy
Beginning in Fall of 2020, the University of Minnesota is requiring that all minors be accompanied by a chaperone to all on-campus events. As a result, each minor attending this tournament is required to have a chaperone of some capacity at this tournament. Players who are both under 18 years of age and do not have an adult chaperone with them will not be allowed to play this tournament.

Code of Conduct
All players, staffers, and spectators attending the NASAT mirror or any other event part of the open weekend will be required to abide by the UMN Quizbowl code of conduct. Participants who feel that a fellow competitor, staffer, or spectator is not following the code of conduct should fill out the UMN Quizbowl misconduct reporting form.

Feel free to contact suacb AT umn DOT edu for any concerns that you may have. We hope to see you on August 20th!

If you are interested in playing this tournament but have yet to sign-up, please do so as soon as possible so that way I can ensure we have enough staff to have the tournament run smoothly.

Also, the side event MUSES III has been moved from Saturday night to Sunday night in order to help minimize costs for the weekend due to how Minnesota handles room scheduling.
