The Iowa State University Quiz Bowl Club will be hosting a fall tournament for high school squads on December 15th, 2007. It will be located in George Washington Carver Hall on the Iowa State campus in Ames, Iowa. The competition will consist of a full or partial eight-match round-robin of twenty tossups/bonuses followed by a playoff for the top eight or sixteen seeds. The question set used will be NAQT Invitational Packet #68. Exclusivity has been assured for the state of Iowa, but teams make sure you have not heard the questions before. The field size is undetermined pending the level of interest and the ability of the club to staff rooms, though I would estimate mid-20's. A first-come first-serve principal may be applied to teams seeking to register and any team past a second for a given school shall be given lower priority. Coaches will most likely be asked to read. The top 15% of the field rounded-up (so probably the top three or four teams) will qualify for the NAQT national tournament. Food and drink will be provided for lunch and individual awards will be given. Check-in time will be at 8:30 and the contest should not last past 4:00 in the afternoon. FEES: $50 a team $5 discount per buzzer set (Maximum $10 discount per school) Registration inquiries and/or questions should be directed to the TD: Scott Nystrom smnystrom_at_... Further information will be posted on our website: http://www.stuorg.iastate.edu/quiz/ See you in December.
