Coaches,
Washington High School will be hosting a tournament on February 21, 2015.
The tournament will be in the 20 Tossup/20 Bonus format, with powers (15 pts. for early correct answers) and negs (-5 pts. for early incorrect answers) with bouncebacks on bonuses. We will use question set IS-142 from National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT). You can find free sample questions at http://www.naqt.com.
We are currently capping the field at 24 teams, and each team will have at least 8 guaranteed matches. The field can expand if there is significantly more interest and staff.
Prices are:
- $65 for the first team from a school, $60 for each additional team. (B, C, D, etc.)
- Fully functional buzzer systems are a $5 discount (limit 2 per team)
- Providing an experienced scorekeeper is a $5 discount. We reserve the right to refuse scorekeepers.
- Providing an experienced moderator (reader) is a $15 discount. Please let us know about these well in advance. We reserve the right to refuse moderators.
- Teams traveling over 100 miles (one way per Google Maps) will receive a $5 discount.
Registration will begin at 8:30, the first matches will take place at 9:00 AM, and there will be a lunch break around 12 PM. There will be a concession stand (popcorn, candy, and sodas) open during the day. There are several options for lunch in town.
Spots will be filled on a first come/first served basis. Please use this form to register. You are not registered until you receive a confirmation email from the tournament director. If interest and staffing permits, we will lift the cap to as high as we can accommodate. Again, please let us know about buzzers and moderators as early as possible.
Teams placing 1st and 2nd will receive a trophy. There are prizes for the top 10 individual scorers.
Our school’s address is 600 Blue Jay Drive, Washington, MO 63090.
- If you come by I-44, Washington is exit #251 on route 100 – turn right at the 100/47 intersection, and then take a left to the high school at the 3rd stoplight.
- If you come by I-70, take exit 203 (State Hwy T) follow that for about 15 miles, turn left on 47, cross the bridge into town, and take a right to the high school at the 4th stoplight.
If you have any other questions, my email is david.dennis@washington.k12.mo.us, and my phone is 314-239-2640.
