Hello everyone, Rice Quiz Bowl is pleased to announce that it will host its 2nd annual NAQT high school invitational tournament on Saturday, April 12, 2003. Last year's tournament was a great success, and we expect this year's tournament to go just as well. As always, the tournament will be a qualifier to the NAQT national high school championship tournament, which will be held May 31-June 1, 2003 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The top 15% of finishers at the tournament will be eligible to attend. The format will be a round robin among several divisions followed by a playoff round. The tournament will begin at 9AM, break at roughly noon for lunch, and finish up at about 5 or 6PM. Since this tournament will be a timed tournament, we expect it to keep pretty close to schedule. Those unfamiliar with NAQT's rules can review them at: http://www.naqt.com/rules.html The fee schedule is as follows: Base fee: $90 for the first team, $70 for each additional team Discounts -$10 per working buzzer system (if a buzzer system is not working the day of the tournament, the team will not receive the discount) -$20 if team must travel 200+ miles to attend Minimum fee: $60 per team Each school will be allowed to enter a maximum of 4 teams. Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 teams; individual awards will be given to the top 3 individual scorers. The tournament will probably be held in the Humanities Building and Rayzor Hall, though we're waiting on confirmation from the university to use those rooms. I will let everyone know where exactly it will be held once we receive word. Those who don't know how to get to Rice can find directions online at: http://www.rice.edu/welcome/visit.html Please e-mail me with the number of teams and buzzer systems your school intends to bring so we can adjust the number of rooms if need be. Because they've caused unnecessary confusion in the past, we've decided to eliminate registration forms. Simply write your check to Rice University Quiz Bowl and mail it along with a note indicating how many teams and buzzer systems you will bring. Please DO NOT include your buzzer discount in your check--we will reimburse everyone as they check in on tournament day. Our address is: Rice University Quiz Bowl P.O. Box 1892 MS 526 Houston, TX 77251-1892 The deadline for registration is April 1st. No teams will be allowed to compete after the deadline. Hope to see everyone there. Please e-mail me if you have any questions. Stephen Aslett President, Rice Quiz Bowl
