Johns Creek Gladiator Classic VII JV/Novice Tournament (4/23/2022 | IS-207A | Johns Creek, GA)

Post by johnscreek »

Hello Coaches, 

Johns Creek High School is pleased to announce the Gladiator Classic VII Tournament on Saturday, April 23rd, 2022. It will be held this year at Johns Creek High School (5575 State Bridge Road, Johns Creek, GA 30022). This year, we will be using the NAQT IS-207A question set, a beginner-level high school packet. This tournament is great practice for younger high school teams as well as middle school teams, especially for those looking for practice before MSNCT. 

Tournament Details:
  • The tournament will be held in person at JCHS. Teams will be expected to follow Fulton County COVID policy at the time of the tournament (currently, there is no mask requirement).
  • We will tentatively cap our tournament field at 24 teams. (Note that tournament rules/format may change depending on the size of the field).
  • There will be 2 divisions: JV and Novice. Across both of our two divisions, players from grades 6-10 will be allowed to compete. We recommend that middle school teams compete in the Novice division, but they are completely allowed to compete in JV for more challenging practice.
  • The tournament will be using the NAQT Invitational Series #207A, a high school beginner-level difficulty. If you have already played this set before, you won't be able to participate. A similar packet is available at https://www.naqt.com/samples/introducto ... .pdf.Teams will be up to 5 players playing in a round, and substitutes are allowed between rounds.
  • Each team will play at least 5 preliminary rounds, and the top teams will compete in the playoffs. 
  • Each round will feature 20 tossups and bonuses, with no bounce backs or negs. There will be 1 tiebreaker toss-up if needed.Once a team member buzzes, they will have 5 seconds to answer. There will be 5 seconds after a toss-up for buzzes until it goes dead. On bonuses, team members will have 5 seconds to confer and answer once the question is read. 
  • The top teams will receive trophies.
  • Any further updates on rules and registration will be sent later on. 
Location:
This year, we will be hosting the tournament in-person at Johns Creek High School (5575 State Bridge Road, Johns Creek, GA, 30022).
