You are cordially invited to the 4th annual SHATEYAHRONYA Tournament (RMBAT/PSACA) @ Berlin HS in Delaware, Ohio on Saturday January 12th, 2019. The initial field cap will be 24 teams, but I will try to open that up if there is interest and I can secure enough competent readers. We will be using PACE rules i.e. 20 powers, 10 Reg, no Negs, and BB bonuses. There will be three tiers of competition; Uber, Competitive and Newcomer.
Congratulations! PACE (the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence) has designated your tournament, SHATEYAHRONYA IV, as a gold NSC qualifier. This means that the top 20% of teams in your tournament (rounded up to the nearest integer) will qualify for our national high school quizbowl championship, the PACE NSC on the weekend of June 8-9 at the Hyatt Regency Reston outside of Washington, D.C.
Teams will be broken into 4 preliminary brackets of 6 teams each and will play round robin. At the conclusion of morning play, teams will be re-bracketed into 6 brackets of 4 to play another round robin with similar teams, with the top 2 teams at the conclusion of afternoon play for the tournament championship if needed.
We will also be running a MS tournament at the same time and we will use the SCOP MS 9 packet.
