FIRST PRACTICE

FIRST PRACTICE will be this Wednesday 31 August 2011, from 5-7pm in the basement of Founder's Memorial Library. Newcomers: know us by our magnificent "QBA" sign.

We'll be discussing tournament attendance in the coming year and will review our practice schedule and tournament hosting opportunities. There is a good chance that I will bring cookies. Look forward to it.

Practices, Fall 2011 AND New Website

Time to start thinking about practice times for this fall. Let me know when you'd prefer to meet.

Our website has moved to https://sites.google.com/site/niuquizbowl/.

TELESCOP 2

From the TELESCOP 2 HSQB thread:

Northern Illinois University will be hosting a second iteration of TELESCOP (Tournament of Exciting Learning Experiences with SCOP) on 29 October 2011. The tournament will be run on SCOP 2. Please contact NIUquizbowl@gmail.com if you are interested in mirroring the set.

This is a novice tournament. Players who have actively participated in a national tournament are disqualified from entering. Though this is the only official eligibility guideline, players who are known to be of a higher caliber will be excluded as well, and we will review the case of any player who has attended nationals but may still qualify as a novice. If you have any questions about whether your players are eligible, please contact NIUquizbowl@gmail.com.

Entry fees:
Basic entry fee: $50/team
Extra team discount: -$5/additional team (If your team has more than eight players, we strongly suggest fielding a second team)
Buzzer discount: -$5/working buzzer (maximum 1/team)
SCOP team discount: -$20

To register, inquire about player eligibility, ask about mirroring the set, or with other questions, please e-mail NIUquizbowl@gmail.com

We're very excited to be hosting this again, and we're looking forward to seeing you there. If you will be unable to work this event, QBA members, please let me know ASAP.

ATROPHY 2 Liveblag

If you're not already lined up outside DuSable Hall, waiting to get in, there's still time to clinch a spot in the tournament! Teams attending or qualified for a national tournament who are interested in attending ATROPHY should contact NIUquizbowl@gmail.com or directly e-mail Tournament Director Brad Fischer.

Practice 28 Feb 2011

Brad has negged 8 times in 24 questions on last year's Div II ICT packet, round 7. Go Brad.

Mind = blown.

Update: I have just realized that ATROPHY is"a trophy" when separated. That is all.

Individuals currently designated "STATSGODS," "scorekeepers," and "board scorers" are also asked to attend the meeting.

Just to make sure no one will be late, there will be a brief coaches' and moderators' meeting in DuSable Hall, Room 400 on the morning of 23 April 2011.
