Tuscumbia Elementary Tournament - April 29, 2017

Post by Jason Loy »

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that Tuscumbia High School will be hosting an elementary academic tournament on April 29, 2017. Although we expect that students in the 5th and 6th grades will comprise the majority of participants, any student in 6th grade or below is eligible. We have had students as young as 3rd grade compete in previous tournaments. As we have done in the past, we will use a modified version of NAQT's MS-22 question set. Each game will consist of 16 tossups followed by up to 16 three-part, 30 point rebounding bonuses. Each team will be guaranteed at least seven games regardless of performance.

Since we anticipate that most schools will bring multiple teams, we encourage you to bring as many buzzer systems as possible. Note that our definition of "school" is fairly flexible since this age group is not covered by MSHSAA's jurisdiction. Teams consisting of students from multiple schools within the same school district are acceptable. Home school cooperatives are also welcome to participate.

We ask that you limit teams to eight students each, with up to six being able to play in each game.

As of now, the field cap will be will be 24 teams. Expansion is possible once the cap is reached.

Entry fees are as follows:

First team from each school: $55
Second and subsequent teams: $50 each
Buzzer discount: $5 per working set (no limit)

To ensure that we receive payment before the end of the school year, I ask that you either pay at the tournament or mail the check (made out to Miller County R-3 Schools; for: academic bowl) ahead of time to the following address:

Miller County R-3 Schools
Attn: Jason Loy
526 School Road
PO Box 1
Tuscumbia, MO 65082

To register, please email me at jloy@tuscumbialions.k12.mo.us with the number of teams and buzzer systems you plan to bring.

Thank you,

Jason Loy
