Hello coaches,
Jefferson City High School will be hosting a high school academic tournament on November 1, 2014 using a question set written by the University of Maryland. Shelly Kiesling will be serving as the tournament director.
Each round will consist of 20 tossup questions with 20 3-part bonuses should a team answer a tossup correctly. Bonuses will rebound. The set follows the following distribution per round:
4/4 Literature (at least 1/1 each American, British, European, .5/.5 one more of the above, .5/.5 World)
4/4 Science (1/1 biology, 1/1 chemistry, 1/1 physics, 1/1 other science, with a heavy focus on math)
4/4 History (1/1 American, 2/2 European/British/Ancient, 1/1 World, Canadian/Australian where appropriate in context)
2.5/2.5 Religion, Myth, Philosophy (1/1 each Religion and Myth, .5/.5 Philosophy)
2.5/2.5 Fine Arts (1/1 Visual and 1/1 Auditory guaranteed per packet, .5/.5 one more of the above)
.5/.5 Social Science
.5/.5 Miscellaneous and Mixed
1/1 Geography/Current Events (approx. .66/.66 Geo, .33/.33 CE)
1/1 Pop Culture
Since this is a regular difficulty question set, there will be no eligibility restrictions as there were for last year's tournament. Also, a single team can have no more than six players. If you have more than six players, please do not hesitate to sign up a second or even third team!
Fee Structure:
First team from a school: $60
Every subsequent team from a school: $50
Buzzer Discount: $5 per system
Discounts for bringing a staffer or staffers will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
There will be a field cap of 18 teams at this tournament.
To register, please email both me, Jason Loy, at jloy@tuscumbialions.k12.mo.us and Shelly Kiesling at shelly.kiesling@jcschools.us with the number of teams and buzzer systems you plan on bringing.
We hope to see you on November 1!

Re: Jefferson City High School tournament - 11/1/14
The playoff standings page is incomplete for some reason, though I just noticed that the scores are on the scoreboard page, so all of the data is actually there. Any idea what the extra Pilot Grove-Helias A game in round 9 is?
