Darien Winter Tournament (1/28/23, IQBT #2)

Post by Tridwoxi »

Darien Quiz Bowl is excited to announce our Winter Tournament.

Location
Darien Winter will take place on-site at Darien High School at 80 High School Ln, Darien, CT 06820, on on January 28th, 2023. Check-in will open at 7:40 am and close at 8:20 am; the first round will begin at 8:40 am and the tournament will end before 5:00 pm. Detailed driving instructions will be sent after registration.

Question Set
Darien Winter will mirror the IQBT Regular Season Set #2, which is a regular difficulty high school set. The set is written by International Quiz Bowl Tournaments, LLC, which also produces NASAT.

Tournament Format
The initial field cap for Darien Winter will be 16 teams. All teams are guaranteed nine rounds of play; the specific round format will be determined as teams register. We will use ACF rules with powermarks and negs. Eligible teams consist of players from a single school and are currently in a grade from 9th to 12th.

Food
There will be bagels, cookies, and juice in the morning for everyone and free of charge. Lunch break will happen after round 5 and last 45 minutes. Pizza is available for teams who would like to buy it. Water fountains exist throughout the building.

Cost
Teams will cost as follows:
  • First team: $85
  • Subsequent teams: $75
The following discounts are available:
  • Working buzzer system: -$5
  • Staffer: -$20
  • New to Quiz Bowl: -$20
Payment is expected the day of the tournament but you may pay later if needed. If your team has trouble paying registration fees, we may be able to give you financial assistance. As we are using electronic scoresheets, staffers need to bring a laptop and charger. Food will be given to staffers as thanks for helping run Darien Winter.
