This is a couple of notes about NAQT eligibility for the quickly approaching
NAQT SCT tournaments.
 
Firstly, any student who needs to clarify his or her eligibility to compete
in NAQT Sectional Tournaments (or who wishes to ask that an exception to the
rules be made for him or her because of extenuating circumstances) needs to
contact NAQT at eligibility_at_... no later than Saturday, February 1,
2003.
 
The eligibility rules can be found here:

Secondly, a quick reminder about a change (effective for 2003 SCTs) to NAQT
rules for continuing eligibility in Division 2 for players past their first
season of intercollegiate quizbowl play.
 
For 2002, the D2 eligibility rules (in full at
<http://www.naqt.com/division-ii.html> http://www.naqt.com/division-ii.html)
are summarized:
 
In short, the policy is that an undergraduate may continue to play Division
II until he or she is on a team that qualifies for the ICT or four years
pass, whichever comes first.
 
For 2003 an addition to the rules (a new "4." under the full rules) will
make that summary:
 
In short, the policy is that an undergraduate retains Division II
eligibility for up to a maximum of four years, either until he or she is on
a team that qualifies for the ICT or has twice played in SCTs on Division I
teams.
 
Thank you for your attention.  If you have any question regarding this
message, or the forthcoming sectional tournaments, please email
naqt_at_... as soon as possible.
