You are cordially invited to the annual 2019 Ohio State HS/MS State Championship @ Olentangy Berlin HS in Delaware, Ohio on Saturday, April 13th, 2019. Start time will be 9:00 a.m. The initial field cap will be 32 HS teams and 18 MS teams, but I will try to open that up if there is interest and I can secure enough competent readers. We are hosting the HS Open tournament for the first time. The sets we will be using are SCT-19DII (HS) and MS-30 (MS).
PACE: Congratulations! PACE (the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence) has designated your tournament, 2019 NAQT Ohio State Championship, as a platinum NSC qualifier.

Every team will be guaranteed 10 rounds. There will be multiple HSNCT/SSNCT bids awarded.
MS Teams will be broken into preliminary brackets of 6 teams each and will play a round robin.
