UNC-Chapel Hill's Carolina Academic Team is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the Marvin Lee Aday Open on Saturday, March 1, 2008. The MLA Open will be a mirror of UIUC's Matt Cvijanovich Memorial Novice Tournament. This will be a CUT-style tournament, intended to appeal to quiz bowl players of a variety of skill levels. See http://www.naqt.com/hosting/cut-style.html for more information on the CUT-style format and what team sizes your club's players qualify for. Participation in or results of the 2008 SCTs will not affect your team's CUT eligibility. If your team does not have significant NAQT experience but has played in several ACF tournaments, contact me and we'll figure out an appropriate parallel. Grad students may play on solo teams, but due to the difficulty level of this tournament we'd much rather have y'all as moderators (see below). Tournament specifics will depend on how many teams register, but we'll be holding this somewhere on UNC's main campus and doing some sort of round-robin with re-bracketing. We'll ideally be playing somewhere from 10-12 rounds. Pricing information: Solo team: $45 Two-man team: $55 Four-man team: $80 Working buzzer set: -$5 (no limit) Competent moderator: -$10 (no limit, and since our registration limit will be fairly directly related to the number of moderators we get, please bring your grad students if you can) Half-packet by February 1st: -$10 (13/13 from the distribution found at http://www.hsquizbowl.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4565; only available to the first five teams who request it) Minimum costs: $30/$40/$55 Registration deadline: February 22nd. We may have to set a cap on teams (depending on reader availability), but we'll try to put that up on the topic below well before we reach said cap. If you wish to register or have any other questions, you can contact the tournament director (me) at UNCQuizbowl at gmail.com. Updates and unofficial team lists will be available at http://www.hsquizbowl.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4776. Thanks, and we hope to see you at Chapel Hill this March! -Brice Russ Carolina Academic Team
