Official Announcement: BRAVE Falcon 2007 (HS tournament) -- November 17, 2007

The Bowling Green State University Academic Quiz Team, in partnership 
with the Mahoning Valley Quiz Bowl Association, is hosting the BRAVE 
Falcon 2007 high school quizbowl tournament on Saturday, November 
17th, and we would be honored to have students from your school 
attend. 

Students from all high schools are invited to attend and compete in 
teams of four. Questions will be of an academic nature using NAQT 
(tossup/bonus) format using the NAQT question set 71A. As a matter of 
competitive integrity, please ensure your team has not played these 
questions before registering. All teams will be guaranteed seven 
games; the final format will depend on the number of teams 
registered. 

On November 17th, sign-in will start at 8:30 am with a light 
breakfast (bagels or doughnuts) served. Play begins at 9:30, so 
please arrive by 9:00 if possible. Lunch will be on your own. Several 
fast-food restaurants are within walking distance and campus dining 
halls will be open; we'll provide maps and suggestions. We anticipate 
that the tournament will be over around 4:00 pm, followed by a 
presentation of trophies and appropriate awards. (Every effort will 
be made to conclude the tournament PRIOR to kickoff of Ohio State-
Michigan, for those concerned.) 

Fees for teams to compete are $70 for varsity teams and $50 for 
junior varsity. $10 discounts are awarded for providing both working 
buzzer systems and experienced reader/moderators (1 discount of each 
category per team, but please bring more if available). Packets of 
questions from this tournament or last year's BRAVE Falcon are also 
available for $8 after the tournament. We ask that your registration 
be received by November 1. Teams may be accepted after that date at 
the discretion of the tournament director. 

We sincerely hope that your team considers attending our tournament. 
The Academic Quiz Team in partnership with the MVQBA hopes to provide 
a fun day of friendly competition, and we hope that our tournament 
provides a positive experience and promotes the sport of quizbowl in 
our region. We work very hard to ensure a well-organized, fair, fun 
competition for all involved, and we hope that you will join us on 
November 17th.
