The 2005-06
Academic season is under way. Many teams in the
Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. area will attend several tournaments this year,
and I'm sure you are aware the competition is usually intense and
energizing. I cordially invite you to attend our school's tournament to
continue that level of competitiveness. Hammond High School, in Howard
County, Maryland, will host its Seventh Annual Green Eggs and Hammond
Academic Tournament, January 7. Each team attending will play six,
non-alternating rounds.
All teams play simultaneously. The top 16 teams will then enter a
single-elimination playoff bracket to determine our fourth champion. Teams
finishing in the top four will receive awards. As an added bonus, before the
playoffs, we will have the world-renowned single round coaches' mini-tournament. Up to 12
coaches will entertain their players by competing. Please
indicate in your email your request to play in the coaches round.
Please register
for your teams by replying to this email (bjenkins@hcpss.org).
In your reply, include the coach's full name, email address, school phone,
home phone, and the name of each team's captain. Include how many teams you
wish to bring, and how many working buzzer systems you will have with you.
You may also telephone with this information to 410-313-7615. Please
register before December 24 to ensure your entry. We have a maximum of
50
spots available for the tournament. Your first two teams will be
automatically registered; however, due to an interest in fielding the widest
diversity of teams, all teams after your first two will be on a temporary
waiting list.
Our tournament is
a PACE qualifying tournament for the National Scholastics Championship,
tentatively scheduled June 11-12, at Valencia Community College in Orlando. The top two teams receive an automatic bid in this year's
national tournament.
We need at least
30 total buzzers! Without this number, games can not be simultaneous. As
coaches and players of our last tournament know, the
gameplay was much faster, and all preliminary rounds were completed
before lunch time.
