Give Thanks for Quiz Bowl II NAQT Powell 11.21.15 OQBA

Postby crbirdx1 » Fri Mar 20, 2015 7:01 am

You are cordially invited to our second iteration of Give Thanks for Quiz Bowl Invitational. This invitational is targeted towards teams that are new to tossup/bonus. The initial field cap will be 24 teams, but I will try to open that up if there is interest and I can secure enough readers/score keepers. Teams are expected to bring a moderator/coach (that is why the price is cheap). This will be a tournament where coaches will read/scorekeep and let their students enjoy the competition. The set we will be using is the NAQT MSNCT-15. Payment can be made to OLHS In The Know and the address is 3584 Home Rd. Powell, Ohio 43065. PACE (the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence) has designated our tournament Give Thanks for Quiz Bowl II an official NSC qualifier. This means that the top 15% of teams in the tournament (rounded up to the nearest integer) will qualify for our national high school quizbowl championship, the PACE NSC on the weekend of June 4th-5th at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare outside of Chicago.


We will be running a MS tournament as well. They will be using the NAQT MS-16 set.

Teams will be broken into 4 preliminary brackets of 6 teams each and will play round robin. At the conclusion of morning play, teams will be re-bracketed into 6 brackets of 4 to play another round robin with similar teams, with the top 2 teams at the conclusion of afternoon play for the tournament championship if needed. Every team will be guaranteed 8 rounds.

Registration opens at 8:00 A.M. until 8:30 A.M. followed by a brief meeting for coaches and player. We expect to begin play promptly at 9:00A.M.

FEES:
First Team: $45
Each Additional Team: $35
BUZZER DISCOUNT: -$5 per buzzer system, limit one per team that you are bringing.
TRAVEL DISCOUNT: There is a $10 discount for teams traveling over 80 miles (our zip is 43065).
If your team has not played an OLHS tournament before then you automatically qualify for the minimum entry fee of $35.
MINIMUM Fee: $35

or for more information, please email cortney_bird [AT] olsd [DOT] us. I hope to see you in Powell in November 2015!

Did you switch the set? I was making out a calendar of possible tournaments and I had a different HS set listed since my kids are considering going to Tiffin for Greg's tournament using the MSNCT set.

We had never posted which set it would be. We stated it would be an NAQT A equivalent which MSNCT is. The set was decided by NAQT and there were not enough A sets produced because they had been taken by Solon/ Tipp/ Smithville etc. Sets are being split Hicksville/Sidney Tiffin/Us etc. It was our intention to reach out to newer teams.

Gotcha. I assumed it would be one of the A-sets, but my kids don't want to travel anywhere right now outside of an hour or so drive to probably Cloverleaf and Harding, so its a moot point.

PACE has made Give Thanks a NSC Qualifier for the top 15% bump. I am going to be contacting some small schools but if you know of any please send them our way please.

We are full at 24 teams at the HS level and we still need 1 more MS team. We will have Raising Canes $7 for a 3 piece box with fries/ Slaw. We are going to run this tournament with no -5 or negative points since many teams are new to the format.

We are expanding the field to 30 so we have room for 2-4 more HS teams and 1 more MS.
