Lee, First, let me make it clear that I have no jurisdiction in deciding the matter, as I do not direct any tournaments. But if I did, and if the eligibility rule for the tournament in question was as you describe, my position would be that having played at the Berry tournament would, in fact, count. The point isn't whether or not you've faced higher-level teams, nor is it the degree of difficulty of the questions per se, but whether or not you've played in this format at the collegiate level. And some of those Alabama CCs are pretty strong--Bevill State to name one.

However, it is also stated that CBI experience does not count because it is so far-removed from the ACF/NAQT level. My question is: Does Community College experience count? I did play 2 years at Snead State CC in Alabama. However, we played only other Community College teams within our own state. We only played out-of-state teams at a Berry Invitational and at a CBI - sponsored event in Florida. The questions used in our Community College league were no where near the caliber used in the 4-year tournaments that we have gone to this year. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
