  We anticipate using two full round robins in the morning and afternoon with an advantaged final to decide the champion depending on the number of teams registered.
  
  Plaques will be awarded to the top two overall finishers and the top two small schools (under 500 enrollment in grades 10-12, public, non-selective). Large and small schools will play in the same division.

  For the Novice tournament, all Freshmen and Sophomore players (regardless of placement on your regular teams) are eligible to play. No Juniors or Seniors may play. The goal is that your younger students get an idea of who will be their competition in the next few years of competition.
  
  For the MS tournament, all 7th and 8th graders are eligible to play. 6th graders are allowed if your school allows 6th graders to participate and are on your MSHSAA rosters.

Saturday, October 22, 2022

• Bulldog Fall Fiesta
• Mexico High School
  
• Varsity Division
• Novice Division
• PACE NSC Qualifier
• Questions: 2022 KICKOFF
• BFF will consist of a minimum of eight games for all teams in the standard 20/20 match format.
  
  Correct tossup answers are ten points each. Tossups are powermarked, and correct responses given before the mark will receive an additional five points. We will not assess a five-point penalty for interrupting the moderator during the tossup with an incorrect answer.
  
  We will offer a varsity and novice division.
  
  We anticipate the varsity division serving as a qualifier for the PACE National Scholastic Championship in Chicago. The novice division will not serve as a qualifying division for national bids, as the following roster restrictions are in place:
  All freshmen are eligible to compete in the novice division.
  All sophomores are eligible to compete in the novice division, with the exception of players who averaged at least 20 points per game at HSNCT, SSNCT, or NSC.
  Juniors and seniors may compete in the novice division if they have not competed at a quiz bowl contest at the high school level prior to October 1st, 2022.
