Attention: Quiz Bowl Coaches!! The University of Oklahoma Academic Team is proud to announce Boren Cup VIII: Molly Takes Manhattan. The academic quiz tournament open to all high schools will be held on October 30th, 1999. Registration will be from 8:15 AM to 9:00 AM, with a general meeting to discuss rules, etc., at 9:00, and play beginning at 9:30. Competition will be held on campus at the University of Oklahoma. Matches will be played in the NAQT tossup-and-bonus format using NAQT questions. We will not be using timed rounds, but moderators will be reading at a quicker pace than OSSAA (OK Secondary Schools Activities Association) matches in order to simulate timed match conditions. The tournament will be round-robin, with a single-elimination championship tournament to determine the winner. As with Boren Cup VII, the tournament will be broken up into Large School and Small School brackets. Small School bracket will consist of public high school teams whose ADA would place the school in Oklahoma 2A or below. Large School bracket will consist of all other high schools. All teams will play ten games, barring any early departures. The base entry is $60 per team. We will subtract $10 for each adult (over 21) volunteer to work the entire tournament, helping with stats, scorekeeping, etc. (Under 21 volunteers must be approved by us before tournament day.) Cash, checks, or POs (made out to Oklahoma Academic Team) are acceptable as payment. We request that each school bring a fully functional buzzer system, one that will cause as few headaches as possible. If this is a problem, please let us know in advance. The entry deadline is October 20th or 64 teams, whichever comes first. All schools participating are required to register in advance, without exception. Entering schools will receive a packet with full rules information, hotel/restaurant information, and directions to OU.
