I am pleased to announce that September 29, 2007 will be the date of 
the 5th Annual Frederick Douglass Invitational Championship (FDIC) 
hosted by the University of Rochester's Thelion Society.

The FDIC is a tournament played on an NAQT Invitational Series (This 
year it will be Series #68 -please make sure your team is not 
planning to attend another event using this set). It is a good 
chance to introduce new or inexperienced players to the circuit, as 
well as an opportunity for seasoned teams and players to have some 
early-season practice. This year we are going to run the tournament 
in a modified CUT-style: Any team consisting of at least one player 
with two years of collegiate quizbowl experience will be asked to 
limit themselves to two players total.

Tournament Fees:
Per-team Base Fee: $100
2-player team discount: -$10
Buzzer discount: -$5/buzzer set (max. 3 per school)
Qualified moderator discount: -$10/moderator
Multiple team discount: -$15/team (2nd team pays $85, 3rd team $70,
etc.)
Travel Discount: 200+ Miles -$15
Travel Discount: 350+ Miles -$25
Minimum Fee Per Team: $50.
Registration Deadline: September 18.
All distances will be based on Mapquest, and all funds are in US
Dollars.

We had a terrific tournament last year, and are hoping to hold
another successful event this fall. Please contact me at

regarding the event.
