Attention: Quiz Bowl Coaches!! The University of Oklahoma Academic Team is proud to announce Route 66 Classic V: The Series. The tournament will be held on October 9th, 1999. Registration will be from 8:15 AM to 9:00 AM, with a general meeting to discuss rules (and where to eat lunch) at 9:00 and play beginning at 9:30. Competition will be held on the deserted campus of the University of Oklahoma. Matches will be played in the NAQT tossup-and-bonus format using NAQT questions. We will not be using timed rounds. The tournament will be round-robin, with a single-elimination championship tournament to determine the winner. Teams will get a minimum of ten games, unless they leave early. The tournament will be broken up into "Open" and "Junior Bird" brackets. "Open" is open to teams whose members consist of students currently enrolled at a college or university and are not NAQT question writers (since we are using NAQT questions). The "Junior Bird" division will consist of teams whose players are first-year NAQTers, including those who have played in College Bowl's Honda Challenge. Note: the Junior Bird division will be scrapped if less than four teams indicate interest. The base entry is $60 per team. We will subtract $10 for each adult volunteer to work the entire tournament, helping with stats, scorekeeping, etc. Cash, checks, or POs (made out to Oklahoma Academic Team) are acceptable as payment. We request that each school bring a fully functional buzzer system, one that will cause as few headaches as possible. If this is a problem, please let us know in advance. The entry deadline is October 1st or 32 teams, whichever comes first. All teams participating are required to register in advance, without exception, but Email is sufficient for registration; just print up the "Required Entry Visa" and bring it the day of the tournament. Full rules information, hotel/restaurant information, and directions to OU are available on the URL below.
