As re-posted to hsquizbowl.org some time ago, revised to be a mirror
of MUT:

The UCLA College Bowl Club is pleased to announce:

Bruin International Southern California Undergraduate Invitational
Tournament III

DATE: The tournament will be held on March 21, 2009.

FORMAT: The tournament will be mirroring Minnesota Undergraduate
Tournament.

This set will first be used on March 7, so it is vital that teams
maintain packet secrecy for that two-week period.

ELIGIBILITY: This tournament is restricted to undergraduate and
high-school teams and players. If you are unsure of your eligibility,
please contact Avram at ajlyon_at_....

PRICING STRUCTURE:
Base fee = $90
-$5 for a fully-functional buzzer system (must have at least four
working buzzers on both sides) (maximum one per team)
-$10 for additional teams from a school (non-cumulative)
-$10 for a pre-approved moderator (no maximum for pre-approved moderators)
-$10 for travel over 350 miles.
Minimum fee = $30 (possible only with multiple moderators)

If your program cannot afford to register, please contact the TD and
we will try to make arrangements to accommodate your needs.

Please make checks payable to "College Bowl Club of UCLA." Please do
not make a check out to any other person or entity, including "UCLA
Quiz Bowl," as we cannot cash those checks. Please bring your check
with you to the event. If you will need an invoice made (usually for
high schools using purchase orders), please contact Avram before the
tournament. All teams will be given receipts.

The cap is unofficially going to be set at 24 teams, but we will try
to accommodate as many teams as possible. It is likely that the
limiting factor will be moderator availability-- we very much
encourage teams to send graduate students as moderators!

The tournament director is Avram Lyon. If you are interested in
attending, please e-mail Avram ajlyon_at_... with the following
information:

1) Your school's name
2) Representative's name and e-mail address
3) The number of teams you are bringing
4) The number of buzzer systems and/or moderators you would like to bring

Updates about the tournament will be posted on the hsquizbowl.org
forums and on the quizbowl Yahoo! group; however, they should also be
posted online. Our club website is http://quizbowl.bol.ucla.edu. A
link should become available once this announcement has been posted.

If you have any questions about any of this, please e-mail Avram Lyon
at ajlyon_at_ucla.edu.

Thanks and hope to see you March 21, 2008,

Avram Lyon
Tournament Director, BISCUIT III
