The UCLA College Bowl Club is pleased to announce: 

***The California Invitational of California*** 

This tournament will be a loose mirror [we're stealing their name] of the 
similarly named California Invitational in Pennsylvania. It will use the 
same set, IS-58, which has not been used for any Southern California 
tournaments [however, due to Edison's presumed attendance of the Northern 
California {the Menlo invitational} tourney using this packet set, the 
players participating on that team would be ineligible to come]. 

DATE: The tournament will be held on Saturday, May 13, which is after AP 
exams and SAT dates. If there is enough clamor to move the date back, we 
will move it to May 20. 

FORMAT: We are looking at this tournament as preparation for Southern 
California teams attending Nationals, and therefore we would like to 
run a timed tournament. If there are any concerns about this, please do 
e-mail me. 

PRICING STRUCTURE: 
Base fee = $100 
-$5 for a fully-functional buzzer system (Must have at least four working 
buzzers on both sides) 
-$5 for a functional countdown clock or timer (maximum of 3, unless we 
contact you about needing more) 
-$10 for a pre-approved moderator 
-$10 for the second team from a school 
-$20 for the third (or additional) team from a school 
+$25 if you wish to purchase a copy of the questions after the tournament 

Please make checks payable to "College Bowl Club of UCLA." Please do not 
make a check out to any other person or entity, including "UCLA Quiz Bowl," 
as we cannot cash those checks. An address will be provided shortly for 
those of you who wish to mail your checks in advance. 

The cap is unofficially going to be set at twenty teams, but we will 
see about being able to accommodate further teams. Teams who have already 
qualified for NAQT HSNCT will be given priority, but we encourage all to 
come. 

The tournament director is Charles Meigs. If you are interested in 
attending, please e-mail Charles at cmeigs@ucla.edu with the following 
information: 

1) Your school's name 
2) Coach (or representative) name and e-mail address 
3) The number of teams you are bringing 
4) The number of buzzer systems, clocks and/or moderators you would like to 
bring 

Updates about the tournament will primarily be through the Southern 
California High School Quiz Bowl Mailing List; however, they should 
also be posted online. Our club website is http://quizbowl.bol.ucla.edu. A 
link should become available once this announcement has been posted. 

If you have any questions about any of this, please e-mail cmeigs@ucla.edu. 

Thanks and hope to see you in May, 
Charles Meigs
