The UCLA College Bowl Club is pleased to announce:

***The PACE Late Spring Tournament***

DATE: The tournament will be held on May 19, 2007.

LOCATION: Bunche Hall, University of California, Los Angeles.

FORMAT: The tournament will be in PACE format, using packet sets written
by college students throughout the country and edited by PACE staff. A
brief summary of PACE rules is as follows:

- There is no penalty for interrupting with an incorrect response (i.e.,
no neg fives)
- Each match is untimed and consists of three rounds: related
tossup/bonus, category quiz, and stretch. In related tossup/bonus, teams
answer tossups and are given a "related" 20-point bonus. In category
quiz, teams answer tossups and then choose a bonus category from a list
(e.g., science, current events)from which they will recieve a 15-point
bonus. The stretch round contains tossups and normal 30-point (unrelated) 
bonuses.
- In the stretch round, there are 20-point powers for answering a tossup
before "For ten points" in the question. There are no other powers.
- All bonuses "bounce back," that is, if a team misses a bonus part, the
opposing team can steal those points by answering it correctly.
- After buzzing in on a tossup, a player has 5 seconds to begin his/her
response.

PRICING STRUCTURE:
