Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2023 6:42 pm
Hello! I am pleased to announce that the Academic Team at THE Ohio State University will be hosting THE Buckeye Fall Novice Invitational on 30 September 2023. This tournament will use NAQT IS-221A.
The tournament will take place in McPherson Chemical Laboratory (140 West 18th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210). There will be a brief opening meeting at 8:40 AM EDT, and gameplay will begin at 9 AM EDT. Luke Miceli will be the tournament director. Please direct any questions about this site to him at miceli.46@osu.edu.
Registration
To register for this tournament, use the NAQT online registration system. Please let me know how many teams you’re bringing, the rosters for those teams, and if you intend to bring any staffers and/or buzzers. I’ll try to invoice teams as soon as possible after they register. For now, I’m putting a cap of 16 teams for registration, though I’m flexible to change that if demand is high enough and we have enough staffers/rooms.

- You have ever scored 50 ppg or more on a team that has played in the top 25 of any year of MSNCT
- You were the top scorer on a team that made it to the playoffs in any year of HSNCT
Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
