Greetings, all, The Grinnell College Academic Team is pleased to announce the first annual (?) Grinnell Undergraduate Tournament (GUT), to be held October 4, 2003. This will be a non-submission, undergraduate-only tournament with questions supplied by National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT). For this tournament, in order to accommodate novice and experience players while still matching team strength, we will be using the same eligibility rules as used at the Carleton Undergraduate Tournament. The tournament will use NAQT rules, except that matches will be untimed. All teams will be assured of playing at least 11 rounds. We are tentatively limiting the field size to 24 teams, though that number is subject to change depending on interest/space. Fee Structure will be as follows: $50 per team, regardless of team size -$5 for supplying a working buzzer set (one discount per team; please let us know when registering) -$10 (and our eternal gratitude) for supplying a moderator Minimum fee: $35 Full rules and tournament info may be found at our tournament website, www.grinnell.edu/groups/quizbowl/gut2.html. Please note that this page is still under construction, and you may stumble across a page wherein the tournament is named differently if you explore the quizbowl main page; the reason for this is an internal debate over whether or not to rename the tournament in honor of a Grinnell quizbowler who passed away last spring. In either case, all information about the tournament up so far other than the name is fixed, and a definitive version should be available sometime this week. For more information or to register, please send an email to houston at grinnell dot edu. We hope to see you in Grinnell this October! Cheers, Brad Houston, GUT TD
