You are cordially invited to the 4th annual 2018 Ohio Middle School State Championship (NAQT-MS-26) @ OSU in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday April 7th, 2018. The initial field cap will be 16 teams, but I will try to open that up if there is interest and I can secure enough competent readers and rooms (pending availability from OSU).
Teams will be broken into 2 preliminary brackets of 8 teams each and will play round robin. At the conclusion of morning play, teams will be re-bracketed into 4 brackets of 4 to play another match with similar teams, with the top 2 teams at the conclusion of afternoon play for the tournament championship if needed. Every team will be guaranteed 8 rounds. There will be at least one MSNCT bid awarded.
FEES:
First Team: $50
Each Additional Team: $40
BUZZER DISCOUNT: -$5 per buzzer system, limit one per team that you are bringing.
MODERATOR DISCOUNT: -$10 for a competent moderator. Please let me know in advance if you are planning to claim this discount.
If your team has not played a pyramidal tournament between September 1, 2015 and September 1, 2018, you automatically qualify for the minimum entry fee of $40.
MINIMUM Fee: $40
If your team has economic hardships please email me and explain the situation and we can accommodate for further discounts if needed.
