CIS Middle School Big Cat THREE. March 19, 2022

[Lisa McClary]

Hello coaches and players,

I am pleased to announce the Big Cat III at Columbia Independent School on Saturday, March 19, 2022. Students in grades 7-8 are eligible to play.

We will be using NAQT’s Middle School-41 set. This will be a nationals qualifying tournament.

The field will most likely be capped at 24 teams (no more than six players on a team, please). Play will begin at 9 a.m. and we hope to finish around 4 p.m. Please arrive by 8:30 a.m. The exact format will be determined after the number of teams has been finalized. Expect to play at least 8 rounds and stay for the entire tournament regardless of performance.

Each game will consist of twenty tossups and up to twenty bonuses. We will use powers, but no penalties for incorrect tossups (negs). Bonuses will rebound.

The fee structure is as follows:

Base fee: $70 per team
Additional team from each school: $60 per team
Buzzer discount: -$5 per system, limit 2
Scorekeeper discount: -$15
Moderator discount: -$15 for experienced moderators

If you have any questions, please email me at mcclaryl@cislions.org with the number of teams, buzzer systems, and staff that you plan to bring.

Thank you, and I hope to see you at the Big Cat!
