Yale Quiz Bowl is pleased to announce the return of its Fall Academic
Tournament (FACT). FACT, which will take place on October 15, 2005,
will be an official National Academic Quiz Tournaments, LLC (NAQT)
event. This means that the tournament will use questions produced by
NAQT (Invitational Series #53A), and that it will also provide an
opportunity to qualify for the 2006 NAQT High School National
Championship Tournament, which will take place in Chicago from June
2-4, 2006. This tournament will follow official NAQT rules, which can
be found in entirety at http://www.naqt.com/rules.html, with the
exception that it will feature untimed rounds.

In the past, FACT was only open to teams from Connecticut. Due to
demand from other states, this year, the tournament will also be open
to teams from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
However, Yale Quiz Bowl has only purchased geographic exclusivity for
the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island.

This means that NAQT will not allow another tournament hosted in
either Connecticut or Rhode Island to use Invitational Series #53A.
However, this set of questions may be used in tournaments hosted in
other states, including New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.

This is the fee structure for the tournament:

Base fee: $75
Working buzzer system: -$10
Moderator: -$5
Nth team from a school: -$5*(N-1)
Minimum fee: $50

Please make checks payable to: Y. Student Academic Competition
