Novice/JV

We will host a junior varsity/novice division and a middle school/junior high division. Middle school/junior high programs must be properly registered with MSHSAA in order to participate. There will be no roster restrictions for the MS/JH division; the JV division will have a roster restriction:
All freshmen may compete. NO seniors may compete.
Sophomores who have not competed at HSNCT, SSNCT or PACE NSC may compete.
Juniors who have not previously competed at any 20/20 tournament may compete.

This tournament will consist of a minimum of eight games for all teams in a modified NAQT/national format:

• Each game shall consist of two halves of ten tossups each, with each correct tossup followed by a three-part bonus.
• Correct tossup answers are ten points each, with an additional five-point “power” awarded for a correct answer given before a pre-determined point in the tossup.
• Unlike other NAQT/national tournaments, we will NOT assess a five-point penalty for interrupting the moderator during the tossup with an incorrect answer.

The JV division will have a roster restriction:

• All freshmen may compete. NO seniors may compete.
• Sophomores who have not competed at HSNCT, SSNCT or PACE NSC may compete.
• Juniors who have not previously competed at any 20/20 tournament may compete.

Please note the different location.

The Missouri Academic Coaches Association (MACA) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting this year's JV State tournament on March 12th at Helias High School. This tournament is open to ALL freshmen and sophomore players (NO juniors or seniors).

Format:
Games will consist of 20 tossups worth ten points each, followed by three-part rebounding bonuses worth up to thirty points. Tossups will not include powers or negs. The questions will be provided by Olympia Academic Competition Questions.

As we did last year, first-year sophomore (may not have played at all during freshman year) players may fill out a freshman team that is short of four players. No team shall be a majority of sophomores.
