Sorry this announcement is coming a bit late. When: Saturday, February 7th. Where: College of William & Mary, 102 Richmond Rd, Williamsburg, VA Games will all be played at Morton Hall though I don't have the specific rooms down yet, but I'll get them to you all as soon as I know. Due to a limited amount of space there will be a field cap of 24 teams (I know, it's low, sorry!) so register as soon as possible. Directions can be found here: http://www.wm.edu/about/visiting/directions/index.php and a campus map here: http://www.wm.edu/about/documents/wmmap.pdf (Morton Hall is right next to a big parking lot that lies parallel to Jamestown Road, and anyone can park there on weekends.) What: NAQT Sectional Qualifier for the NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament on April 3rd and 4th. The format is NAQT timed rounds (rules can be found here: http://www.naqt.com/rules.html ), so please bring some visible timers if you have them. There will be separate fields for Division I and Division II as long as we have at least four teams in each. There will be trophies for the top two Division I finishers, as well as the top two Undergraduate teams and top two Division II teams. For those new to NAQT, a Division I undergraduate team consists ENTIRELY of undergrads and a Division II team consists ENTIRELY of undergrads who have not been on a team that was invited to the ICT in the past, or have played in the ICT. A Division I open team can have any student affiliated with (i.e., taking classes at) your school on it. Full eligibility rules can be found here: http://www.naqt.com/rules.html How Much: Base fee = $120 for first team, $100 each subsequent team Base fee for new schools (* see below) = $80 for first team, $60 for each subsequent team -$5 per fully-functional buzzer system (Must have at least four working buzzers on both sides) -$5 per functional countdown clock or timer, visible to both teams -$10 per 200 miles travelled to the event (** see below) -$15 per pre-approved moderator or scorekeeper (no maximum, but please contact us first) Minimum fee = $70 ($50 for new schools) – Negotiable though if you bring a lot of stuff we need. * 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. Discount applies per team. Okay so I know y'all want a bigger discount, but come on, gas in VA is hella cheap, like a buck fifty right now. Please make checks payable to "Wm and Mary Quizbowl Club." Your tournament directors are tentatively me (Matt Morrison) and Dan Leifer, though that may change. A lot of planning still has to be done for this as William & Mary doesn't start up class again until the 21st. To register or ask anything and everything about this tournament, please email me at mpmorr AT wm DOT edu. When registering please be sure to give me: 1) Your school's name 2) Contact name and e-mail address 3) The number of teams you are bringing in Division I Open, Division I Undergraduate, and Division II 4) The number of buzzer systems, clocks and/or moderators you would like to bring Updates about the tournament will primarily be through the hsquizbowl.org forums and possibly here as well.
