Upcoming Events for Spring 2008

Oklahoma Academic Team has several events scheduled for the Spring 2008 semester.

First, OAT will host Sword Bowl, a mirror of the same tournament at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, on February 2. Sword Bowl is intended to be a novice tournament, but all are welcome to attend.

OAT will then travel to Tulsa for the NAQT Southwest Sectional Championship Tournament on February 9. OAT will attempt to qualify a team for the NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament for the third consecutive year. OAT has sent two Division II teams to NAQT ICT in the past two SCTs.

On February 16, OAT will return to Tulsa for ACF Regionals. Matt Weiner, the head editor, has promised a significant drop in difficulty for this tournament, which should make it more appealing for players apprehensive of ACF.

Boren Cup 24, part of the team's high school tournament series, is scheduled for March 1. It will use the same questions as the Dennis Haskins Open at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Finally, OAT will make a third trip to Tulsa for Tulsa Open Academic Spring Tournament 2, a mirror of the Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament, on March 29.

National tournaments are scheduled for April. TRASHionals is at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga from April 4-6. The NAQT ICT is at Washington University at St. Louis from April 11-12. ACF Nationals is at Brandeis University on April 26. At this point, it is unknown if OAT will attend any of these.
