Burleigh Manor Invitational, Ellicott City, MD March 12, 2022 IN-PERSON

Post by eseifte1 »

This is our first announcement for a live in-person tournament at BURLEIGH MANOR MIDDLE SCHOOL in Ellicott City, Maryland to be held at 8:30 AM on Saturday, March 12, 2022. We will be using NAQT MS-42 set. This question set is a middle school set
The top 15% of the total number of teams will be eligible for the NAQT Nationals (MSNCT) to be held in Chicago in early May.

COVID RELATED ISSUES THAT AFFECT OUR TOURNAMENT (PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE ISSUES)
1. We strongly encourage everyone to be fully vaccinated, and ALL of our moderators, scorers, tournament staff (both students and adults) will be fully vaccinated. At this time, we cannot mandate full vaccination. But we are pursuing permission for this. Remember, the National Tournament is requiring full vaccination for participation. Of course, proper mask wearing will be strictly enforced and any deviation (under nose for example), will result in expulsion from the tournament after 1 warning. If you cannot abide by this mask policy, please don’t come.
2. THERE WILL BE NO EATING OR DRINKING IN THE SCHOOL (except for a water bottle). This means we will not be providing our traditional breakfast, snacks, pizzas, or food. You will need to bring your own and picnic outside or in your cars or go to local eateries. If you cannot abide by this eating policy, please don’t come.
3. We will not have an introductory meeting in the cafeteria. You will be provided with a schedule on arrival with your room numbers and you will go directly to your rooms. The cafeteria will be available for sitting/studying, but you will need to socially distance and no eating is allowed. Again, don’t come if this sounds abhorrent.
Registration will begin at 8 am and you will be given a schedule at check-in.

The cost for teams participating in the tournament is $70 for every team. No discounts are being offered. DO NOT MAIL REGISTRATION CHECKS (bring them with you)!!!! CHECKS FOR REGISTRATION SHOULD BE MADE OUT TO "CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL." You can use cash as an alternative. We can only accept cash or checks. We cannot use VENMO. Centennial is running the tournament even though it is being held at Burleigh Manor.
REGISTRATION:
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PRIOR NAQT ACCOUNT, YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT THROUGH THIS LINK (JUST SCROLL DOWN WHEN YOU ARE PROMPTED FOR YOUR PASSWORD).
REGISTRATION for the Burleigh Manor Invitational Middle School tournament can be completed at this site:

We are capping registration at 36 teams (less ambitious than prior years due to the COVID situation).
We are very excited to offer this in-person Quizbowl opportunity!
