Hello Quizbowl!
I am pleased to announce SLAM (Sorta Like A Mainsite), a mirror of the regs set FARSI which will take place on Saturday December 14th. I, Padraig Finan, and Saikrish Kolli will be directing this tournament.
All teams located west of the Rockies (WA, ID,OR, UT, MT, AZ, NV, NM, CO, WY), EXCLUDING California are welcome to play. This is NOT an open tournament, as all players on a team must be from the same school. California has been excluded due to a vibrant circuit + mirrors of FARSI already planned in that area.
All proceeds will be going to Quizbowl Cares, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by Saikrish dedicated to supporting charities and promoting the growth of quizbowl.
Registration:
Register teams using this form. Outside staffers will be paid $25 for staffing the whole tournament and may sign up with this form. Team registration will close on December 3rd at 3:30 PM ET.
Rules:
Rosters are capped at 6 players, though only 4 players may play at one time. Players must be in the 12th grade or below (Seniors graduating in 2024 are still allowed to play). Players are expected to follow NAQT gameplay rules and PACE's Honor Code. Active players must show TWO HANDS on camera. Any suspicions of cheating will be investigated and may be reported to quizbowl organizations.
Format:
There is only one division for this tournament for all HS and MS teams. The field is capped at 16 teams, but will increase with sufficient interest/staffers. All teams will be guaranteed 9 games. We will use 20 tossups and 20 three-part-bonuses per untimed round. 15-point powers and negative-5-point negs are in play.
Games will be organized on Discord and played on Zoom, with Buzzin.live for buzzing.

Base fee: $70 per team
Late fee (not fully paid by 12/21, two weeks after the tournament): +$30 per team
Shorthanded (1-2 players) discount: -$20 per shorthanded team
Staff discount: -$25 per staffer
There will be a minimum fee of $0 per school. Teams who cancel after December 3rd must pay the full fee, barring extenuating circumstances.
Stats:
Team and individual stats will be posted on hsquizbowl.org within 48 hours.
Misconduct:
Anyone involved with the tournament, including but not limited to: coaches, players, staff, tournament directors, and spectators will adhere to the PACE Code of Conduct. Misconduct can be reported to this form and/or sent to [email protected].
