Cavalier Classic III @ CHS in Chillicothe, OH [ HSAPQ Novice Set] 10.8.2016
You are cordially invited to our third iteration of the Cavalier Classic. This quizbowl tournament is targeted towards teams that are new to tossup/bonus (Novice/JV). The initial field cap will be 18 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 and a buzzer system per 2 teams that they bring (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 a novice set created by HSAPQ. Here is the link to the announcement for the set. http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewto ... 09&t=18810
Teams will be broken into 3 preliminary brackets of 6 teams each and will play round robin. At the conclusion of morning play, teams will be re-bracketed into 4 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 except for the bottom 2 will get 6 rounds.
Middle school tournament
We will also be offering a middle school tournament that morning as well. We will be playing on last year’s PLATO set. The field cap will be 12 teams and will placed into two groups of 6 and play a full round robin. In the afternoon they will play an additional 3 rounds.
