A date has yet to be selected. As this school year comes to a close, several schools have requested that they wish to reserve certain weekends in their own areas for tournaments next year. Please make a note of these dates, both so you can budget to attend the tournaments, and so that you do not plan an event on the same weekend. After this is straightened out, again we urge all teams to arrange schedules carefully to avoid schedule conflicts with other established tournaments. There are several routes of increasing your budget.
Some teams receive lavish grants from their administrations.
This is of course an excellent state of affairs, but also fairly rare. For the rest of us, the best way to raise money is to host a tournametn, or two, or more. Berkeley hosted four this school year. Some schools run several tournaments a year to raise funds by hosting events for high school quizbowl college teams IMs There is also the age old bake sale. Stanford runs a very successfull IM with 32 teams some years.
