Hey all: The following is an announcement and call for interest for the Midwest NAQT SCT, which will be hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Academic Buzzer Team on our lovely Urbana-Champaign campus on Saturday, February 11, 2005. Steven Canning and Sudheer Potru will be in charge of running this event, and any questions regarding it or registrations should be directed to Sudheer at sudheer.potru_at_.... The tournament will most likely run from about 8:30 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday, and will most likely feature a round-robin followed by bracketed playoffs and finals if necessary. However, this format may change in the future depending on how many teams we get for the tournament. In any event, do not worry, as any registering teams will be made well-aware of format before they begin play. We will of course be running separate divisions for D-I and D-II, and we will be awarding titles for D-I overall champion, highest-placing all-undergrad team in D-I, and D-II overall champion. We have not yet figured out fee structure, but will do so sometime soon. Undoubtedly, there will be discounts for functional buzzer systems and clocks, and probably substantial discounts for competent game officials; once again, any teams wishing to play will be notified of fee structure and discounts far in advance of the event. As noted previously, if you wish to register, please e-mail Sudheer at sudheer.potru_at_.... Another announcement with more details will follow at some point in the next few weeks. We look forward to seeing you in Urbana on February 11. Thanks, Sudheer Potru and Steven Canning Co-Tournament Directors, Midwest NAQT SCT University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
