LUKA @Online (2/25/23) - 2022 Scottie

Post by arolypoly »

I’m pleased to announce LUKA (Late-year Ultimate Knowledge Assessments) III. LUKA will be played with the 2022 Glasgow Scottie, an HS-regs+ set. More details about the set can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=26006

The tournament will be co-directed by myself (Adithi Rallapalli) and Shardul Parthasarathy.

Venue:
We will host LUKA online, on Zoom and buzzin.live, on February 25th, 2023. Rounds will start at 10 AM Eastern/9 AM Central.

Eligibility:
Teams will consist of a maximum of 6 players, with 4 players allowed to play at once. Teams must consist of players from the same high school.

Registration:
Teams can register here:
https://forms.gle/zjCCgFdMvZ2iLPtp8

There is an $80 registration fee for the first team and $70 for any further teams. Payment can be sent via Zelle to [email protected]. For other payment methods, email [email protected]. Teams that are shorthanded (1-2 players) will receive a $20 discount.

There is a tentative field cap of 18 teams, with expansion to 24 if necessary, and schools are encouraged to register multiple teams of up to 6 players.

Staff:
If you're interested in staffing, please sign up here:
https://forms.gle/JAknkqBrKFsYx7Gs5
Teams providing staffers will receive a $25 discount per staffer, and staffers not affiliated with teams will be paid $25.

Format & Rules:
The format for this tournament will consist of 5 preliminary rounds followed by a lunch break, after which teams will be split into championship and consolation brackets for afternoon playoff rounds. In case of a tied win record, there will be one final game to decide the winner. Else, there will be an advantaged final, i.e. the team with the second highest win record will have to win two games against the team with the highest win record. Breaking ties in win record for seeding purposes will be done with PPG.
Twenty tossup-bonus cycles will be played in each match with one tiebreaker tossup if needed. We will be using the ACF general gameplay rules, but with the inclusion of powers (15 points) and negs (-5).
Players will have 5 seconds after a tossup to buzz, 5 seconds after a buzz to answer, and 8 seconds after a bonus is read to direct an answer (as stated in the ACF rules).
Substitutions may be made at the half. There will be no computational math.

Our integrity policy for this tournament requires that ALL players must use video and show BOTH hands in the frame at all times. Set-ups that are acceptable as outlined by the PACE integrity policy are preferred. Players are also encouraged to remain unmuted during tossups as long as there is no significant background noise. All players must follow the PACE honor code. The tournament directors reserve the right to remove any player on the grounds of suspicion at any time.

Misconduct and Cheating:
All players, spectators, and coaches must adhere to the PACE Code of Conduct. Players, spectators, and coaches should report misconduct either directly to staff or via the misconduct form found at the bottom of the PACE Code of Conduct. Every instance of misconduct will be dealt with seriously by tournament staff. Similarly, the staff will investigate every allegation of cheating and may report to quizbowl organizations.

Feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions or concerns you may have. See you in February!
