The UCLA College Bowl Club and Graduate Academic Tournaments Organization are pleased to announce: West NAQT Sectional Collegiate Tournament DATE: February 7, 2009 FORMAT: NAQT rules, timed rounds. There will be separate, parallel tournaments for Division I and Division II teams. In accordance with the NAQT Sectionals rules, there will be three, possibly non-distinct, champions: Division I, Division I Undergraduate, and Division II. There will also be individual awards within each division. SCHEDULE: Registration should start at 8:30 am, with round 1 starting by 9:00 am, but these times are subject to change. Updated schedule and location information will be posted as it becomes available. PRICING STRUCTURE: Base fee = $120 for first team, $100 each subsequent team Base fee for new schools (* see below) = $80 for first team, $65 for each subsequent team -$5 for a fully-functional buzzer system (Must have at least four working buzzers on both sides) (maximum 2 discounts per team) -$5 for a functional countdown clock or timer (maximum of 3 per team, unless we contact you about needing more) -$10 per 300 miles traveled to the event (** see below) -$15 for a pre-approved moderator or scorekeeper (no maximum, but please contact us first) Minimum fee = $60 ($50 for new schools) * New schools are schools that have neither competed in nor hosted an NAQT Sectional in the last two years ** One-way distance, based on driving distance as calculated by tournament staff. And really, it's not worth driving 300 extra miles to save $10, unless gas prices drop to below $1.15/gal, you get extremely good mileage, or you have multiple teams in the vehicle.
