BRUIN: MRNA II Tournament at UCLA, April 22nd!

Post by FJOIII »

Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce that UCLA will be hosting BRUIN (Bruins’ Regional University INvitational). This tournament is being hosted on fairly late notice, as we wanted to put together a chance for our graduating seniors to play one last tournament.

The tournament will take place on the UCLA campus, with the exact location (and with it, parking recommendations) TBD. The opening meeting will begin at 8:45 AM, with games starting at 9:00 AM sharp. I, Frederic O’Hara, will be the tournament director. Any questions, comments, or concerns about this tournament can be sent to me at freddieoharaiii AT gmail DOT com!

Difficulty
BRUIN will be run using the MRNA II question set. This is a “2 dot” set, which is meant to be playable (though very difficult) for relatively new players, but also challenging enough for advanced players. Any students eligible under the ACF eligibility rules are welcome to participate!

Rules
This tournament will follow ACF’s official gameplay rules . We also will require all teams to follow a modified version of the PACE code of conduct, which we ask teams to briefly review before the tournament. No misconduct inconsistent with that code will be tolerated at this tournament. Any potential violations of that code of conduct can be reported at any time to the tournament director or staff. UCLA quizbowl is committed to ensuring that every participant feels as safe and welcome as possible at this tournament!

Registration
Please register using this form!
The soft field cap for this site is 12, after which teams will be placed on a waitlist. Please register as soon as possible, but try to register no later than April 20th, 2023 at 5:00 PM PST.

Fees

New to quizbowl discount: −$30
Travel discount: −$5 per 200 miles traveled one-way
