Columbian IXposition :: 1 October 2022
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2022 4:51 pmIn cooperation with head coach Samantha Lichtenberger and the Tiffin Columbian quizbowl team, I'm proud to announce the ninth edition of the Columbian Exposition tournament on Saturday, October 1. Teams are asked to arrive by 8:30 AM. There will be a brief opening meeting; all teams are asked to communicate with us before the tournament to receive clarification on any aspects of the tournament including but not limited to rules, scoring, and format.
Entry fees for this tournament are $80 per team. Discounts for working buzzers ($5/each) and readers ($10/each but must be approved by me) are available.
We are using NAQT Set 214A for this event, and official registration will be done via the NAQT website. Once the registration link goes live, it will be added in a separate post to this thread. Please double check before registering that you do not intend to play this set elsewhere.
We are using the NAQT ruleset for this tournament, with tied games allowed in all rounds except the final (if one is necessary) and timing for all questions is 5 seconds. Games will not be played under an overall time limit. If you need to (re)acquaint yourself with those rules, they are available at https://www.naqt.com/rules/.
The field cap will initially be 18 teams. That may be increased depending on expressed interest and staff availability to 24. Any further expansion will require both staff and classroom availability.
