The Duke College Bowl team invites all interested high school
academic teams to compete at the 2004 Duke Academic Festival, on
Saturday, February 14. The event will be held on Duke's East Campus.
Teams must register directly by email to the Tournament Director
(Dr. Chuck at etchuck_at_...) by February 1. The entry fee is $95
for the first team of four to six students, with additional teams at
$65. Buzzer discounts of $20 (each) are available to all teams with
an additional early registration fee discount of $10 if the first
team is registered by January 15. Minimum entry fee is $35 per team.
The Duke Academic Festival traditionally features the best academic
teams from across the Southeast, and we expect to limit our field to
36 to 48 teams.
This year's game format will consist of two sets of 10 tossup
(individual buzzer, no consultation) questions followed by bonus
(team consultation) questions with a handout round. All questions
will be written in-house by the Duke team. We look forward to seeing
your team compete this winter.
P.S. So far only four teams have registered, none from North
Carolina. In addition, my computer today just decided to crash and
burn, so if you do not get confirmation of registration... that's
why.
