To anyone who was thinking about going to CPC4: Due to the weekend of the 14th being homecoming at BU, room reservations are even more of a pain to deal with than they are on a regular basis. So for that reason, Crimson Puppy Chow IV, the junior-bird being jointly held by BU and Harvard, has been rescheduled for one week later, on Saturday, October 21st. I know Cornell already has a tournament planned for that day, but I think we'll be attracting different crowds, since ours is no submission NAQT, while they're offering packet submission ACF. Here's a re-post of the announcement, which can also be seen at <a href=http://people.bu.edu/qbowl/cpc4.html. target=new>http://people.bu.edu/qbowl/cpc4.html.</a> I encourage you all to come to Boston on the 21st! Thanks all. --- Boston University, in conjunction with Harvard University, is proud to announce Crimson Puppy Chow IV: Dog Day Afternoon, to be held at Boston Universitys College of Arts and Sciences on Saturday October 21st, 2000. This event typically serves as a tune-up for the year and a way for newer players to gain experience competing against their peers. Dont see any reason to screw with that balance, so well stick with it for another year. Continuing in the tradition of previous CPCs, this years tournament will be a junior bird event. Players are only eligible if they've had one year or less of collegiate tournament experience through NAQT, TRASH, or CBI play. (EXCEPTION: Players with only CBI experience will be given leniency up to two years of experience, since CBI only holds tournaments once or twice a year.) To that end, players of all ages and academic levels are eligible, so long as they meet that experience requirement. A 17 year old freshman is just as eligible as a 29 year old doctoral candidate, as long as both have had one year or less of collegiate play. Rules will be modified NAQT: no clocks will be used. All rules will be enforced and in effect except those dealing with game clocks. Questions will be provided by NAQT, LLC (<a href=http://www.naqt.com target=new>http://www.naqt.com</a>), so no submissions will be required. Fees will go as follows: $90 base fee -$10 per competent moderator -$10 per working buzzer system -$10 for each extra team after the first $60 minimum fee/team* *NOTE: Teams without an established program, as well as teams working to establish a relatively new program, may be given leniency in entry fees. Just ask! To register, please contact either Harvard College Bowl (cbowl_at_...) or BU College Bowl (qbowl_at_...) Registrations have begun being accepted, and will be open up to and including Wednesday, October 18th, 2000. Any teams playing will need to send us team names and, if possible, a player roster, before that date as well. If any team or player has any questions on format, fees, anything, please dont hesitate to ask. Hope to see you in Boston on the 21st!
