FROSTBITE VI at Granite City High School - (Granite City, IL) - 1/27/24 - SHOW-ME

[Marble]

Granite City High School (Granite City, Illinois) will be hosting the FROSTBITE VI quizbowl event on January 27, 2024.

Each round will consist of 20 tossup questions with 20 3-part bonuses. The tournament will use 15-point "powers" (reward for an early enough buzz), and "negs", a 5-point penalty for preemptive, incorrect buzzes. Bonuses will not rebound.

We're hoping for a field of 18, but more is possible if there is interest and staff available.

Fees are $80 for each team, $75 for each subsequent team.
