We expect lunch to occur at 12:30 PM with the conclusion of the tournament at 5:30 PM.

National Academic Quiz Tournaments, Inc is the question supplier for the Fall tournament. Schools that have played in tournaments that used NAQT question set IS-54 should not enter the tournament.

We will allocate spaces in the tournament on the basis of priority entry, and with an interest in giving as many schools as possible the opportunity to participate. There is a cap of 32 teams. The tournament format will depend on the number of entrants. Possible formats include Swiss pairings and round-robin pool play. The format will not be determined until the field is finalized.

The tournament entry fee is $65 for a school's first team, and $60 for all subsequent teams. Schools that provide buzzer or lockout systems for the tournament will receive a $10 discount per system. We will allocate these discounts to as many schools as possible. Also, copies of the packets will be available for $10 at the conclusion of the tournament.

Entries received after October 2, 2006 will be evaluated on a standby basis, no guarantees will be made for submissions after that date.
