Information National Academic Quiz Tournaments, LLC, is pleased to provide additional information about its fifth Intercollegiate Championship Tournament. The most viable option for getting around St. Louis is to take cabs. They are by far the most dependable cab service in the Bi-State area, and I strongly discourage using any other cab service. You can call County Cab and arrange for a cab to be ready at a particular time.
Public transportation is discouraged.
Should you decide to stay in Illinois, DO NOT stay in East St. Louis. The Division I tournament will begin with six rounds of pre-arranged play during which teams will face opponents from different regions of the country and of varying strength. The final four rounds are playoffs using a ladder play system in which teams have the opportunity to improve their standing by as much five spots. The top two teams at the end of ladder-play will play a final series in which the top seed needs only to win a single game and the second seed needs to win two. After this, the top, middle, and bottom four teams from the first pool will play four games against the members of their corresponding group from the other pool.
