Kentucky 2022-2023

Post by FCPanther »

The Fleming County High School Academic Panthers are pleased to announce that we plan to return to in person competition for the 2023 Fleming County Academic Tournament. We will resume hosting the FCAT on January 7, 2023 at FCHS. There are, however, a few planned changes from past years.

In previous years we have utilized a hybrid format of NAQT toss up questions with single part bonuses. The newest iteration of the FCAT will return to traditional Kentucky quick recall format. We have secured a question set to be written by individuals with a background in quick recall that will make it possible to play a format that we're all familiar with while also keeping the best attributes of quiz bowl.

The tournament will consist of a varsity division and a "B" division. We do have a cap of 32 teams at this time.

Morning round robin brackets will be used to seed afternoon rounds, allowing us to rank the field.

Entry fee for a school's first team is $80. Additional teams from a school may enter for $40. We ask that schools currently limit entry to no more than 2 teams at this point. Schools wishing to include more than two teams may be able to do so closer to tournament time, depending on the available space.

We also ask that participants provide a working buzzer system (non-computerized) and a moderator of scorekeeper. It is impossible to run a tournament without enough help to man each competition room.

Hello neighbors,

The University School of Nashville will be mirroring the DART set on January 7th, 2023. Details can be found here: viewtopic.php?p=391985. We would love to see teams from your neck of the woods to pay us a visit, to play what's sure to be an excellent set (esp for those of you preparing for HSNCT and SSNCT).

With exactly one month until FCAT 23 it's time for a field update. Currently the tournament has 30 team registered, with a 32 team cap.

Here's the field:
Fleming Co. x2
Russell x2
Johnson Central x2
Rowan Co. x2
Campbell Co. x2
Bishop Brossart x2
Mason Co. x2
Montgomery Co. x2
Danville x1
Ashland x2
Lafayette x2
Corbin x1
Northmont (OH) x2
Lawrence Co. x2

We do intend to have varsity and "B" divisions. We are using IceQuickle 2 as our tournament set and will play a quick recall format. Morning pool play will consist of three matches, with afternoon seeded pools of at least 3 games, with a finals matchup in round 7.

If we reach cap I will open a waiting list. Hope to see you on January 7 in Flemingsburg.

This really belongs in Kentucky 2023-24 and will be posted there when the 22-23 year ends and the new thread is posted.

Fleming County High School is planning to host FCAT 24 on Saturday January 6th, 2024 at Fleming County High School. The format will remain the same as FCAT 23, with the same question source (IceQuickle). More details will be provided over the summer or in early fall, but a reminder/date claim has already been sent to those that attended the latest iteration of the tournament.

Best of luck to all as the 22-23 year wraps up.
