3) Do you have to be an undergrad to play, or are grad students / staff / unaffiliated people OK? (College Bowl)
That depends. Many schools do not restrict graduate student participation
for their campus tournament, but some do. The same goes for staff members.
Most schools do not allow non-students to play in their campus tournaments.
However, participation in intercollegiate invitationals is entirely at the
discretion of the host school. CBI only allows one graduate student on the
team that each school sends to the RCT and NCT, while ACF does not restrict
graduate students at all. As stated before, the final say on who gets to
play goes to the host school for *any* tournament except CB RCT and NCT.
Some schools host "masters" tournaments that are open to *everyone*. These
tournaments are usually conducted in the summer. In the summer of 1995,
there were "masters" tournaments in Knoxville (The Masters), Minneapolis
(Paul Bunyan), and Philadelphia (The Philadelphia Experiment).
In addition to these "masters" tournaments, some schools have held
"trash" tourneys, which are generally open to anyone. During the 1994-95
season, "trash" events were held by Vanderbilt and Williams. For a
description of "trash", see question 4a.
