2022 Online Community College Sectional Championship Tournament

Introduction

NAQT will host a Community College Sectional Championship Tournament (CC SCT) online on Saturday, January 22, 2022.

This tournament is intended for teams for which distance, quarantine, or health concerns make attending an in-person tournament difficult or unwise. NAQT encourages teams to give preference to local, in-person hosts if they are able.

This tournament (along with the other, in-person CC SCTs) is a qualifier for the 2022 Community College Championship Tournament, which will be held online on the weekend of February 25–27.

Schedule

The details of the schedule will be determined closer to the tournament (based on the field size and other factors). Teams should expect to be ready by 8:45 a.m. Central time and playing until possibly as late as 5:00 p.m. There will be a break for lunch.

Online Quiz Bowl

Participants should be sure to read NAQT’s guide to online quiz bowl tournaments. Everyone should be sure to read the overview of online quiz bowl, players should be sure to read the page for players, and coaches should be sure to read the page for coaches. Reading the remainder of the guide is optional.

Gameplay will take place on Zoom. Buzzing will take place via BuzzIn.Live.

The Integrity Policy for Online National Championships will apply (even though this tournament is not a national championship). This document includes several rules regarding player behavior. Coaches and players must familiarize themselves with it.
