MACA Missouri Academic Coaches Association

The Missouri Academic Coaches Association (MACA) would like to announce that the annual Missouri State Junior Varsity Quiz Bowl Tournament will be held on the campus of Helias High School on Saturday, April 10, 2010. This is a new central location and Helias has graciously agreed to host the tournament. MACA hopes that this will allow many more schools to compete especially those from the eastern side of the state since travel times will no longer be so long or require an overnight trip.

We will be using an Invitational Series set written by National Academic Quiz Tournaments, and we will use the same game format as last year (20 tossups with 30 point rebounding bonuses, and tossups will have -5 point penalties for an early buzz that is incorrect, and powers, or an extra 5 points for a correct early buzz).

The Bill Currie Memorial Tournament, named in honor of a recently deceased faculty member, will be held on November 13th, 2010. Questions for the tournament will be provided by High School Academic Pyramid Questions (HSAPQ). Each packet will consist of 20 tossups, each with a 3-part non-rebounding bonus, with each part being worth 10 points. For practice purposes, old question sets may be found at http://hsapq.com/sample.html.

The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance is pleased to announce that it will host the fourth-annual NAQT Missouri Qualifier on March 5, 2011 in Columbia at Mizzou.
