Hoover Middle School Melee (11/4/2017)

Coaches:
We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the Hoover Middle School Melee for the first time this year! This event will be held on Saturday, November 4th at Hoover High School in Hoover, AL. Our projected field cap is 32 teams.
This event will be held using the HIGS MS set, and will use NAQT-style rules (powers, negs, 3 part bonuses without bounceback, no worksheets). Teams will be guaranteed seven rounds of play. Lunch will be available on site to keep things moving smoothly.
We do not like to cap the number of teams coming from out of state, as we know it is sometimes more practical to get a bus and come if you have four or five squads. If we reach a hard cap, we will let people know well in advance. Additionally, we respect and understand the costs involved with travelling from state to state, particularly for smaller schools and public schools. For this reason, we are happy to consider discounting your entry fee if you are bringing multiple teams and request us to do so. We think that if we do our job well hosting, you'll come back again. Teams looking for this discount or waiver need only email me to let me know.
Fee structure for this year will be as follows:
$70 for first team
$60 for each additional team
-$5 per working buzzer (limit 2)
-$5 for experienced reader (as needed--we have a limited number of these discounts to offer).
Lunch will be offered on site, with snacks available throughout the day. There are multiple hotels within a five minute drive of our school; look for listings on Highway 150 or John Hawkins Parkway for best options.
Please contact me for further information via PM or by emailing me at jrutsky at hoover dot k12 dot al dot us.
