Announcement:
Texas Quiz Bowl is pleased to announce that we will host our 2011 Kickoff Classic on October 8, 2011 at Seven Lakes High School in Katy. This tournament is open to all Texas high schools.
Quiz Bowl is a academics-based game in which two teams of four students compete to answer questions about math, science, history, literature, religion, and arts. Students buzz in to answer tossup questions and correct tossup responses are rewarded with an opportunity to answer 3 bonus questions that cannot be stolen by the opposing team. The team with the most points after 20 tossup-bonus pairs is the winner.
This tournament is being organized and directed by Texas Quiz Bowl director Chris Romero. Teams that wish to register for the event may email their school name, faculty sponsor, team member names and grades, and contact information to Chris at romeroc@gmail.com.
On tournament morning Teams are asked to register in the Freshmen center gym at 8 a.m. We will have a brief meeting at 8:45 and start our first matches around 9:00 a.m. Each team will play 6 matches and have two byes during 8 rounds of preliminary play. Pizza will be available for pre-order on tournament morning and drinks and concessions will be available during our 30-minute lunch break between rounds 6 and 7. A pre-order form for Pizza can be found here. You can turn this it with your money at the registration desk on tournament morning.
After the prelims the top 16 teams will advance to a seeded single elimination playoff. The winning team at this tournament will qualify to attend the 13th annual Texas Quiz Bowl State Championship on May 5, 2012. The top teams will qualify to attend the High School National Championship Tournament in Atlanta on Memorial Day Weekend.
The fee for this event is $95 per team with a $10 discount available for teams bringing a working buzzer system. Teams will be required to submit a roster form on tournament morning
