>>I e-mailed the TD for the NJ State
Championship on Saturday, me living in NJ and all, and he said
the only guaranteed spot goes to the champ. The
runner-up is NOT guaranteed a trip to Ann Arbor.

Jon-- Sorry for the misleading information. Although I
was very sure that more than one team would qualify
for Nationals from our tournament, I couldn't find a
statement from NAQT on the web or on paper that states
*exactly* how the qualifying process works to backup such a
claim (thanks for posting that, Eric). The tournament
format should pretty much stay the same, but with a
shorter prelim round-robin and a slightly longer playoff
round-robin. I'll send details via email shortly. Good luck on
Saturday.

Going back (actually way back) to the topic of HS
events in the NJ/NY area (the Re: Hey all... messages),
I just wanted to add a few more events I know of
for BCA's (and other HS teams) benefit. In New
Jersey, Secaucus hosts a tournament in October, Columbia
hosts in December (I think), and Millburn in March. A
bit further away are tournaments in NY like Half
Hollow Hills and Kellenberg on Long Island and White
Plains. I have no idea what format these events use since
my HS (Old Bridge) didn't attend them while I was
there (Anyone who has played in these tournaments is
welcome to comment here...). So in addition to what has
already been mentioned, it seems there's enough academic
competition out there to keep a new team in NJ busy.


Anyone interested in the contact information for the
above-mentioned schools can email me.


Wishing more NJ
HSQBers enrolled at Rutgers,
