FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT Case Western Reserve University College Trivia Club invites all undergraduate teams to compete at the Bachelors Undergraduate Trivia Tournament, scheduled for Saturday, October 13, 2001; and the Don King Undergraduate Trivia Tournament, scheduled for Sunday, October 14, 2001. It is possible we will start the Don King tournament after the Bachelors Tournament has concluded, depending on the nature of the field. The tournament is intended to be held on the CWRU campus at Cleveland, Ohio. Rounds consist of 20 tossups and 20 bonus questions for both tournaments, and we will require each team to submit a packet of at least 25/25 FOR EACH EVENT. We expect to limit our field to no more than 18 teams, with any interested parties above and beyond that number to be placed on a waiting list. Entry Fees for participation For ONE event: $75 for the first team (4-6 players) $50 for each additional team (third or higher teams will be placed on waiting list) $15 for each staff person/volunteer (max 2 per team) $ 5 for each buzzer system (max 3 per team) For BOTH events: $125 for the first team (overlap of at least two players) $100 for each additional team (third or higher teams placed on waiting list) $ 30 for each staff person/volunteer who works both tournaments (max 2 per team) $ 10 for each buzzer system (max 3 per team) Minimum entry fee: $40 per team PACKET SUBMISSION DISCOUNTS Single packets of 25/25 -$30 for each packet submitted by September 10 -$10 for each packet submitted by September 17 +$10 for each packet submitted by September 24 +$40 per event if your team is allowed to play without submitting a packet Double packets of 40/40 -$60 for each packet submitted by September 10 -$20 for each packet submitted by September 17 -$10 (yes, a discount) for each packet submitted by September 24 +$40 per event if your team is allowed to play without submitting a packet Novice programs (must have existed for no more than three years) may petition for a waiver of the $40 penalty, but the tournament directors have the discretion not to allow such programs into the field if there are not enough submitted packets. Teams travelling a significant distance from Cleveland (greater than 300 miles) may also petition for a travel discount off the entry fee ONLY IF they intend to compete at BOTH events. Canadian programs must convert their currency to USD but are allowed to take off 30% from the overall charge. However, all teams will be charged the minimum of $30 USD. British teams that plan on competing at CWRU for these tournaments may attend the tournaments for FREE provided their packets are submitted by September 17; only packet submission penalties will be applied, and teams will be expected to pay those surcharges in USD.
