• The tournaments will be in the 20 Tossup/20 Bonus format and we will be utilizing Powers for early buzzing. We will NOT be using bouncebacks on bonus questions or negative points for wrong answers (negs).
  
  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. I do ask that, should you have a superstar player (Someone who is dominating regular HS Sets) to consider that it would be a waste of their time to beat up on novice players and easier questions.
  
  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. This set will be more challenging for MS players, but at this point in the season this is a good preview of what future quiz bowl will look like as players prepare to promote to High School.

• Novice Tournament
• Questions: NAQT MS-47
• This tournament defines novices as first- or second-year Scholar Bowl students who have not attended a national tournament. This does include the possibility of juniors and seniors. Team rosters may have up to six players for the day, with four players playing simultaneously.
  
  Games will consist of twenty tossups worth ten points each and three bonuses worth up to thirty points. Bonuses will rebound. This tournament will use 15-point "powers" for early correct buzzes on tossups. No -5 point "negs" will be assigned for early incorrect buzzes. In the event of a tied game after twenty tossup/bonus cycles, teams will hear tossups until the score changes (a correct answer ends the game immediately).
  
  We are setting a preliminary cap of 24 teams for this event, but we may expand the field should there be enough interest and enough staff to meet the needs of an expanded field.
  
  Update: This tournament is no longer supporting middle school play. We are intending to host a middle school tournament this Spring. Please email Seth if you are interested in this.
