High School Quiz Bowlers: Clemson University, in the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina, is pleased to announce the Fracas 2002 High School Quiz Bowl Tournament. This tournament, hosted by Clemson Quiz Bowl, will be run as an un-timed NAQT-qualifying, one-day event. We will hold this year's tournament on Saturday, October 26, 2002 on Clemson's main campus. Rounds will consist of 20 tossups and boni, with a brief pause in the action after 10 toss-ups for a score check. We are providing the question packets from NAQT. Full explanations of the rules are available at: http://www.naqt.com/rules.html We expect to limit the field to 20 teams, pending room and moderator availability. Beginning immediately, we will reserve slots for teams who plan to compete. After 20 teams reserve slots, we will place additional teams on a waiting list. To reserve slots for the tournament, contact Roger Whitehead at: clemsonquizbowl_at_.... Please reserve by October 18th.
