The 2019 Bay Area Fall Novice Tournament will take place on Saturday, September 21 at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View. Teams from outside of the Bay Area are welcome to compete.
Like previous years, this tournament features a division for Novice high school teams and a separate division for (all) middle school teams; middle school students cannot compete in the high school division.
Teams can consist of no more than 6 members. The field cap is 36 for HS and 16 for MS. This tournament is not a qualifier for HSNCT but it is a qualifier for MSNCT.
Please note: we are using the same questions in both divisions. Thus, this competition will be challenging to middle school students who are new to quiz bowl (such students are encouraged to compete instead at the other designated middle school tournaments).
Players who have competed at the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament, the PACE National Scholastic Championship, or finished t-13 or better at any NAQT Middle School National Championship Tournament must receive permission to play in the high school division from Nicholas Karas (nicholas.karas@naqt.com).
Experienced high school players are strongly encouraged to help staff this event (a great opportunity to receive volunteer hours).
Entry fee/discount information can be found here.
