Hi, everybody:
 
This is the official announcement for UCI Open V, to take place on 
Saturday July 9, 2005.  We will be using the packets from NAQT High 
School nationals.  Here are the details:
 
1.  Qualification
This is an open tournament, meaning anybody can play as long as they 
have not heard the question set at NAQT nationals in Chicago.  A team 
consists of four players, but it can play with as few as one player 
or as many as six players.
 
2.  Fee Structure
The base fee for this tournament is $100, with the following 
discounts:
  Buzzers (-$5)
  Long distance (100+ miles) (-$10)
  Second team from the same school/institution (-$10)
  Experienced Moderators (-$40)
  No clock discount (rounds are not timed)
  Minimum fee per team:  $60
Please make a check out to College Bowl Club--ASUCI and bring it to 
the tournament.  There will be a late fee of $10 if the team pays 
after the tournament.  Cash payment is also accepted for this event.
 
3.  Prizes and Awards
To be determined, but most likely books and/or trophies
 
4.  Location and Time
UC Irvine campus, Humanities Hall (meet in Room 178)
Saturday, July 9, 2005, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
 
5.  Contact Information
Willie Chen, Tournament Director (williechen7_at_...)
Andrea Wong, College Bowl Club President (andrea.wywong_at_...)
 
6.  Registration
Please register by June 30th, 2005 by e-mailing either Willie or 
Andrea.  Please e-mail us your team name and the names of all the 
team members.  Creative names, of course, are encouraged.
 
7.  Statistics
Currently, we do not have the software for keeping live/running 
stats.  If you can share that information with us, please e-mail 
Willie.  Otherwise, official tournament statistics will be available 
within one week after the tournament.
 
8.  Parking and Transporation
Parking is $7 all day.  Please buy a permit from any of the parking 
structures and drive up to Parking Lot 7 (see www.uci.edu for a 
campus map) and park in the unmarked stalls.  Lot 7 is extremely 
close to Humanities Hall.
 
9.  Hotels, etc.
While there are numerous hotels in the city of Irvine, I do not 
recommend staying in any of them because they are quite costly.  
Nearby cities like Costa Mesa and Santa Ana might offer cheaper 
alternatives.
 
Hope to hear from you soon!
