• Outstate Missouri Academic Rendezvous
• Moberly High School
  
• NAQT HSNCT Qualifier
• PACE NSC Qualifier
• Questions: NAQT IS-173A
• Correct tossup answers are ten points each, with an additional five-point "power" awarded for a correct answer given before a pre-determined point in the tossup. We will NOT assess a five-point penalty for interrupting the moderator during the tossup with an incorrect answer. Incorrect bonus parts will immediately rebound.
  
  If we are able to attract 24 teams, we will again have two divisions of play, with teams sorted by their experience and exposure to the 20/20 format dating back to last year's iteration. Should we fall below 24, we may instead utilize a one-division setup.
  
  Teams will play five morning rounds, break for lunch, then return for three afternoon games. This setup is subject to change, depending on the number of teams signed up. We plan to start the team meeting at 8:30 a.m. in the Cafenasium, with the first round set for at 8:50 a.m. and afternoon rounds slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. With the exception of any playoff games for trophies, we anticipate the last game ending around 4 p.m.

• NAQT HSNCT Qualifier
• PACE NSC Qualifier
• Questions: NAQT IS-172
• Each round will consist of 20 tossup questions with 3-part bonuses should a team answer a tossup correctly. The tournament will use 15-point "powers" (reward for an early enough buzz), and five point "negs" (deductions for incorrect answers by the first team to answer before the entire question has been read). Bonuses will be rebounding. If math computation is in the packet it will remain so, it's good practice for Districts!
  
  We will be limiting teams to a maximum of six players, so if you have more than six players, please do not feel hesitant about signing up a second team!

  Unlike last year, no roster restrictions will be in place. Therefore we anticipate BRIC serving as a qualifier for the PACE National Scholastic Championship in Chicago.
  
  Teams will play five morning rounds, break for lunch, then return for at least three afternoon games. This setup is subject to change, depending on the number of teams signed up. We plan to start the team meeting at 8:30 a.m., with the first round set for 8:50 a.m. and afternoon rounds slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. With the exception of any playoff games for trophies, we anticipate the last game ending around 4 p.m.

We will be limiting each school to two teams (maximum of 6 players per team) and placing any subsequent teams from that school on the waitlist. This will help to ensure that all schools interested in competing have a chance to enter a team. If we do not reach our field cap, then teams from the waitlist will be added to the field in the order that their request was received.
