* Hosts must award both an overall and an "undergraduates only" title as was done at the 1999-2000 ICT (Intercollegiate Championship Tournament). A single Division II title must be awarded if at least one qualifying team is in attendance. * Order-of-finish and win-loss records must be reported to NAQT within 24 hours. Complete team stats (institution, team name, division, win-loss, tossups heard, tossups, power tossups, and interrupts) must be reported within 72 hours. Complete individual stats (full name, team, year in school, games played, tossups heard, power tossups, tossups, interrupts) must be reported within 7 days. Hosts' automatic bids are forfeit if stats are not submitted in a timely manner. * The cost of the questions is $25.00 per Division I team and $15.00 per Division II team with the caveat that no more than half of a team's entry fee need be paid to NAQT. That is, if you let a team in for free, you don't pay NAQT for them. If you charge $10.00, you owe NAQT $5.00. Hosts keep all profits beyond that due to NAQT. Copies of the questions used may be sold after the tournament for $25.00 with hosts keeping half of that amount. * Hosts may set an appropriate entry fee taking into account their costs of copying, room rental, food, and other expenses. A base fee of about $90.00 is expected. * SCT champions (Overall, Undergraduate, and Division II) and SCT hosts are automatically invited to the ICT. The remaining places in the ICT field will be decided by statistical comparison in order to correct for differences in the strength of the field. * At the present time, NAQT is reviewing its rules under which SCT hosts qualify teams for the ICT. Hosts should make their bid with the understanding that new rules may be implemented that make it impossible for a host school to qualify more than one Division I team for the ICT. * Hosts may not close their field until 7 days before the tournament. If a host does not have the resources to handle the number of teams that wish to play (even with the assistance of NAQT personnel and equipment), alternatives will be sought. As the SCT is the principal method of qualifying for the ICT, it is important that no team be turned away. Teams who attempt to register fewer than 7 days before the tournament may be accepted or rejected at the host's discretion. * NAQT will consider holding separate Division I and Division II tournaments in overlapping geographical areas if mutually agreeable arrangements can be made among the hosts. -- R.
