Iowa State Beautiful and Damned Nov. 1 CAL-Berk Western Invit. Witchita State Feb 1. The National Academic Quiz Tournamnet is an organization of veteran quizbowl players who have formed their own competition to further academic style competition between teams. Although several ACF players are active in NAQT, the two are separate organizations. NAQT will run independent sectionals around the country in November and a National championship in January at a rotating site.
Membership is free.
NAQT does not require teams to purchase IMs questions, although they will be available for sale in the near future. The issue is simply this. CBI made a claim that they owned copywrite protection for the format of their game. CBI does, however, own copywrite to every question they produce, every scoresheet, and every printed set of rules. Their rules are probably protected, as well.
