Valley Cup
On January 7th, 2023, the inaugural Valley Cup will be hosted at Hastings High School in collaboration with the Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance. This is both a part of the shift towards more NAQT participation for the team, as well as an attempt to garner interest in NAQT-style pyramidality in the Hudson Valley. Link for more info
