Each round will consist of 20 tossup questions with 20 3-part bonuses. The tournament will use 15-point "powers" (reward for an early enough buzz), and "negs", a 5-point penalty for preemptive, incorrect buzzes. Bonuses will not rebound.
The field is now expanded to 24 teams.
Fees
Fees are $80 for the first team and $70 for each subsequent team. There is a maximum of 3 teams per school.

We will not use bouncebacks, and substitutes are allowed after each game only (rules are subject to change based on future field size).
