1st annual Harvest Prep Fall Challenge (NAQT IS-159A)
You are cordially invited to the 1st annual Harvest Prep Fall Challenge (NAQT) @ Harvest Preparatory School in Canal Winchester, Ohio on Saturday September 24th, 2016. 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 competent readers. NAQT (the National Academic Quiz Tournaments) has officially certified this event as a National qualifier. This means that the top 15% of teams in the tournament (rounded up to the nearest integer) will qualify for the HSNCT in Atlanta May 26th 2017. Registration can be made through the NAQT website. Please make checks out to Harvest Prep and in the memo put In The Know.
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. Scoring: 15 point powers, 10 point powers, and no negs.
We will also be running a MS tournament at the same time on set MS-19. 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 players. We expect to begin play promptly at 9:00 A.M.
FEES:
First Team: $45
Each Additional Team: $40
BUZZER DISCOUNT: -$5 per buzzer system, limit one per team that you are bringing.
