2017 Eureka Fall Kickoff Tournament - 10/14/17

Post by mcdonaldmichael »

Hello, everyone!

I'm pleased to announce that Eureka will be hosting a season-opening tournament on October 14, 2017. I will be co-directing this tournament with Missouri Quizbowl Alliance member Jacob O’Rourke. We will hopefully be using an NAQT IS set.

This tournament will initially be capped at 18 teams, and we will do our best to expand depending on interest and staffer availability. I will email details about the structure of the tournament closer to the day of.

Fee Structure
Base Fee: $65 for 1st team, $60 per subsequent team
Moderator Discount: $25 per qualified moderator
Working Buzzer Discount: $5 per system (must work for 2 teams of 4 players each)
Distance Discount: $5 per 100 miles driven (one-way, as determined by Google Maps)

Registration
Please use the following link to register! https://goo.gl/forms/RnNfikTFeesb1PWn2

I look forward to seeing everybody on October 14th! Feel free to email me if you have any questions!

Hallsville's Fall Tournament will NOT be using the same set as this tournament. We will be using the RMBCT set so schools that attend this tournament WILL still be able to attend our Fall Tournament on October 28th. Here is a link to our tournament announcement: http://www.moquizbowl.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3439

This tournament has received platinum qualifier status from PACE, which means that the top 25% of the field (top 4 teams if the current field holds) will qualify for the 2018 NSC on June 2nd-3rd at the Hyatt Regency Reston in Reston, VA.

Congratulations to Francis Howell, who defeated Washington A in both games of an advantaged final to win the tournament. Tuscumbia and Washington B rounded out the rest of the trophy winners.

Thanks for attending the tournament, and congratulations to all of the teams! We hope to see you again next year!
