South Florida Tournament ?
South Florida Tournament ?
Since there are NO tournaments at this point in time in South Florida, South Fork High School is interested in running one after the state championship at UF sometime in april. Would there be enough interest?
It would be a one day event.

Well, or there's a way to fix it so you can put text in. (It explains it when you hold over the URL button).

I think Rickards would be willing to come. However, April in general is a bad time due to the fact that the state tourney is in April, state JCL is in April, State math competition is in April, and the list goes on of state tournaments.
I would suggest a date change to either March 8, January 12/19/26.
If we could charter a bus, we could probably bring all the tallahassee teams... like roughly ten actual teams from about 5-6 schools.
EDIT: Also, you guys should make the trip up for our tournament on Feb 16. It'll probably be a one day event, but if it makes your trip more conceivable, we could try a two day trip. If you all are familiar with Ransom Everglades, we'd love it if you could pass the word along.

I can't tell whether that last comment is a good or a bad thing. If teams can make it, I think that March 22nd gives the best amount of time after UF Spring and Before April competitions.
Now I need some advice. How do I go about notifying Florida teams? I will certainly advertise at the Montverde competition next weekend as well as UF Spring, but I would like to get more advance RSVPs.

Have you all ever gotten an invitation from one of the many Rickards tournaments over the past few years?
We have a large and often copied mailing list. If you have not, I will send one to you.
Speaking of which Rickards is having a tournament on February 16. You guys should absolutely come.
March 22 should be fine in terms of date. It is after our big tournament for leon county, so some teams may be burnt out. I will send out an email to the coaches in our city seeing how they feel about this.

Thank you all for the help. Since the panhandle is really the heart of quizbowl in Florida, we would all be very willing to chose whatever date in late March/early April that fits your schedule the best. We've never received an invitation from Rickards, and would very much appreciate a copy of the contact list. As far as Ransom Everglades goes, I have a contact at that school through which I can get in touch with them.
South Florida tournaments
Hello, I'm the advisor for the Ransom Everlgades Academic Team. I'm new to coaching at the school this year, but the team is definitely interested in more South Florida tournaments.
Also, I would appreciate any info on the NAQT state tournament (location/dates/etc.) Thanks.

Ok so, the update so far is that the tournament will on march 28th/ 29th in order to allow travel time for panhandle teams. I will be sending out an official announcment to the teams on the Rickards mailing list as well as Ransom Everglades.
For the info Steve Frappier requested, I believe the State tournament right now is tentatively scheduled for March 1st at the University of Florida.

Hardee is definitely interested. We should be on the Rickards email list - if not, I can be reached at [email protected].
Unfortunately, that is the same date as our prom, so Rickards probably won't attend. I just found this out very recently. But I don't know about other schools. I will ask around at our next tournament. And also, a march 28-29 tournament is the beginning of our spring break, which is a huge factor for our underclassmen that could go, and also the other schools.
Things to consider, I guess.
Also, ransom coach: Rickards tournament. We would not mind a preview of how the state tournament is gonna go down.

Ah, im sorry to hear that it is the same day of your prom. I hope that we will still be able to get as many teams to participate as possible. Right now, we are just waiting on official comformation from the school board for the facilities usage, which we should get early next week. Expect and official announcement soon.
