POAST II (Prisonbowl Open Academic Summer Tournament) August 12th, 2023

Post by KAluru »

Hello everyone to the post of POAST II.

I am excited to announce that POAST II will be held on Saturday, August 12th, 2023. This tournament will be on Discord, and like last year, is an open tournament WITHOUT region restrictions, (for everyone who could not make it to NYC). All players must be in the graduating class of 2023 (outgoing seniors) or younger (e.g. in high school, entering high school, or in middle school).

Set

POAST II will be using Prison Bowl XV viewtopic.php?t=26625 a Regs+ high school packet.

Format

This tournament will be held online on discord. There will be a brief opening meeting at 9:20 AM EDT, and the first round will start at 9:30 AM EDT. The tournament is expected to end before 6:30 PM EDT.

Tournament games will follow standard ACF rules consisting of untimed rounds of 20 tossups and 20 three-part 30-point bonuses. There will be 15-point powers and -5-point negs will apply, though there will be no double negs. There will be no bonus bouncebacks.

The tournament will (for now) consist of bracketed round robin prelims and re-bracketed round robin playoffs; the exact format will be decided after the field size is determined.

Registration

By registering, you affirm that you will pay within a reasonable time (and that you will pay). Make sure to figure out if one person is designated to pay, or if you are paying individually. Please also check with your school first to see if they are willing to pay for a summer tournament.

The cost will be $80 per team, though if you are playing with a smaller group (or for a good reason) it is up to negotiation. Acceptable payment methods will be given at a later time.

To register for the tournament, sign up on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Do not edit any other team’s information. Your registration will be revoked, and the cancellation fee charged if you do so with intent. If you accidentally edit another team’s information, revert the document.
You will be emailed a confirmation mid-July, (or soon after signup for later registrations). The due date to drop teams will be August 10th. After this, there will be a $30 cancellation fee. The soft field cap for this tournament is 24 teams, but the field will be expanded as necessary.

Staffing

Staffers will be paid $35 for the tournament. Please fill out this form if you are interested: https://forms.gle/CqiTt1gXQ2RMGHwi6 and let me know if you have any requests concerning staffing.
