[ continued from previous message ] * 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 and order-of-finish comparisons in order to correct for differences in the strength of the field faced in different regions. The host may opt to use its automatic bid in either Division I or Division II. * Hosts may not enter house teams if doing so would leave insufficient staff for each room to have two game officials. * Hosts may not close their field until seven 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 seven 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.
