Rice Univerisity's first high school NAQT tournament in a long, long 
time is only a couple of weeks away...April 13th.

Below is the basic information, for those who don't know already.  If 
you're interested in attending, please e-mail me at saslett_at_... 
for a registration form.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The tournament will be held at a location on Rice University's campus 
to be announced shortly.  We expect the tournament to begin at around 
9AM and end at about 5PM with a break for lunch.  (Of course, the 
final schedule will be determined by how many teams choose to come).  
Directions to Rice can be found at 
http://www.rice.edu/welcome/visit.html

Schools may bring up to 3 teams.  The registration fee breakdown is 
as follows:

Base Registration Fee: $80

Discounts: -$10 for a working buzzer system
           -$5 for a volunteer reader/scorkeeper/general helper 
(limit 1 per team)

Each school's second and third teams will only need to pay a flat fee 
of $60.  If your team has a special travel hardship (200 miles+), we 
may consider discounting the cost further.  Please e-mail me if you 
think this will be the case.

These fees will go towards paying for the cost of the tournament 
questions (which can be very, very expensive) and trophies for the 
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.  Registration fees must be paid by 
April 7, 2002.  We may, if enough teams show interest, have to limit 
the number that can attend, so the earlier you get them in the better.

Attached is the registration form for the tournament.  If you have 
trouble reading rtf files, please let me know and I will send you a 
format that you can read.  Please mail your completed forms to:

In order to gauge the potential level of interest for this tournament 
(and thus know how many rooms on campus we should reserve), please e-
mail me at your earliest convenience and let me know if you are 
considering attending the tournament and, if so, how many teams you 
are thinking of bringing.
