Greyhound Invitational Novice Tournament (GINT) Clayton HS 10/21

[scphilli]

Dear All,

Adam Bergeron and I are pleased to announce that Clayton High School will be hosting a new novice scholar bowl tournament on Saturday, October 21, 2023. I, Sean Phillips, as well as Mr. Bergeron will be co-directing.

We are using the MOQBA Novice 2 set. If you register for this tournament, please ensure that your team does not attend another tournament using the same question set.

Each game will consist of twenty tossups and up to twenty bonuses. We will use fifteen point powers, no penalties for incorrect tossup answers, and bonuses will not rebound. Each team will be guaranteed at least eight games. Player eligibility is as follows: all freshmen and sophomores are allowed as well as juniors provided they have not competed at an HSNCT, PACE NSC, or NASAT.

We will begin with a cap of 12 entries. We will look to enlarge the event as staff and demand allows. Entry fees will be as follows:

First team from a school: $75
Each subsequent team: $65
Scorekeeper discount: $5 per scorekeeper as needed
Moderator discount: $10 per moderator as needed (moderators must be approved by the tournament director)
Buzzer discount: $5 per fully functioning system

You can register at the following link:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

We hope to see you at Clayton High on 10/21! Thank you!
