Jon --
The answer should be promptly
forthcoming once NAQT receives the complete statistics from
the tournament. I would expect that announcements
would be made by the end of the week at the latest,
probably earlier. You should contact our Director of High
School Programs (Eric Bell, bell_at_...) to get the
most up-to-date information on HS NCT invitations.
Even if Bergen does not receive an automatic
invitation, the closeness of the championship bracket
suggests that a wildcard invitation might very well be in
order.
More generally, even though many NAQT officers read
this board regularly, it is better to e-mail questions
directly to us. Questions about the HS NCT should be sent
to hsnct_at_.... General questions can always be
sent to naqt_at_....
