Scobol Solo 11/9 IL

[Stained Diviner]

This is an invitation to participate in the Twenty-Fourth Annual Scobol Solo, to be held on Saturday, November 9. The tournament is at Sandburg High School in Orland Park, just southwest of Chicago. This is the main site of Scobol Solo.

You can enter by using the form at https://www.scobolsolo.com/.

Checks should be made payable to Reinstein QuizBowl and mailed to:
Reinstein QuizBowl
PO Box 57
125 Schelter Road
Lincolnshire, IL 60069

Unlike most other tournaments, this one will feature one-on-one matches (i.e. no teams). Each match will consist of twenty tossup questions without bonuses, powers, or neg penalties. Each individual who enters is guaranteed seven matches, which will take place from 9:00-3:30. We will then have a Championship Match at 3:30 featuring the top nine students all playing at once.

The cost to participate is $45 per player for the first eight players on your team. Additional players can register as standbys, meaning that they will play for free if space allows. Moderators will be paid $75, which can be taken as a team discount or a payment. Lunch will be provided for everybody, and it will probably be thin crust pizza. Keep in mind that moderators will be unable to watch their own players' matches. Even if you don't moderate, there will be several times that some of your students play at the same time. We expect to have exactly 128 students total.

Old questions are here.

The tournament is set up so that matches always feature two students with identical records. This tournament keeps advanced stats--to see the results from last year, go here and check out some of the menus at the top.

If you have questions or concerns, IM me or email me at [email protected].

A: Yes

The tournament is currently full, but people signing up now will have a good chance of getting off the waitlist.

I could use some more moderators. Contact me if you are interested.

Do you know if there will be any mirrors of this set in/around the southeast?

[Stained Diviner]

It is common for something to happen in Kentucky and/or Southwest Virginia, but I don't know if those will happen this year, and I don't know if those are south enough for you.
