1) How do I get information about tournaments (school or ACUI)? (College Bowl)
Campus tournaments at your school are generally held by your school's
Student Activities office or by your school's College Bowl
club/program/whatever. These tournaments are typically intramural in
nature, but each school may have its own participation rules. The best
way to find out the dates and locations of your school's campus
tournament is to call your student activities office and ask who the
contact is for College Bowl. If you cannot find your school's contact
that way, call CBI at 1-800-234-BOWL (or 818-788-4103 if you're in the
area). If your school has an official contact, they will be able to tell
you who this person is, and will more than likely have an office number
and phone number.
(Note: the above only applies to schools affiliated with CBI. If your
school plays only ACF or some different format not affiliated with CBI,
there may or may not be an intramural or similar event at your school.)
In addition, many schools host intercollegiate tournaments, in which many
schools send teams to compete. Unlike the CB RCT, schools are usually
allowed to enter more than one team in these invitationals. In the past,
invitations were usually snail-mailed to a school's College Bowl
coordinator. Nowadays, more tournaments are announced via email and this
newsgroup, and some tournaments have abandoned snail-mail altogether.
Normally, to participate, a school must pay a fee and submit a packet of
questions for each team it enters. In addition, at invitational
tournaments, rules of play are often modified versions rather than
strict versions of CB or ACF rules.
To get a list of invitational tournaments, email Mike Starsinic of
Ohio State at starsinic.1@osu.edu.
