We received a request to switch sets for Cal Cup #2; we are now planning to use SITH II for Competitive and Standard. Like CALISTO, this is a medium-difficulty, house-written high school set. We are still using the same set for Novice.

The current Cal Cup #2 field can be found here – please double check that your teams are listed correctly. We currently have a large waitlist for all three divisions – please let us know if you are able to provide moderators/scorekeepers so that we can try to expand the field. Waitlist teams should monitor the field periodically as the situation tends to change quickly.

(2) Tuesday, February 11 is the last date to register for Cal Cup #2. All teams, including waitlist teams, must submit this Cal Cup #2 roster submission form by the end of Tuesday, February 11. We want to make sure that teams are making progress confirming their rosters sooner, rather than later. Teams that do not submit a roster by that time will be dropped from the field and may not be able to re-join. A reminder that each team can consist of no more than six members.

Teams can drop before 12pm (noon) Pacific time on Friday, February 14 without penalty – please email us ASAP if you need to drop a team.

(3) A reminder that Cal Cup #3 will take place on Saturday, March 15 at Saint Francis HS in Mountain View. We plan to use VAULT for Competitive, SHOW-M3 for Standard, and RQBCo Novice for Novice. These are house-written sets (not NAQT); Competitive teams should be aware that their questions will be a bit more difficult than a regular-difficulty high school set. Registration will open soon after the conclusion of Cal Cup #2.

Registration is now open for Cal Cup #2, to be held on Saturday, February 15 at Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose. We are planning to use CALISTO 3 for Competitive/Standard and SEDNA for Novice; these are house-write sets (not NAQT).

All teams, including package teams, that wish to compete on Feb 15 are asked to register via this form. Tuesday, February 11 is the last date to register.

Cal Cup #2 is the last tournament at which teams can sign up for “the package” – the ability to play all four Cal Cup tournaments for the price of three. Please fill out this form [different from the Cal Cup #2 registration form] if your team wishes to purchase the package.

(1) Tuesday, November 5 is the last day to register for Nov 9 online Cal Cup #1. All teams in the field must have a roster posted by the end of Tuesday – rosters can be changed/updated after that time, but we want to see that teams are actually making progress towards confirming their rosters.

(2) A reminder to please indicate if your team is able to provide moderators and/or scorekeepers – please indicate so on your team’s registration page. More volunteers = more waitlist teams can be accommodated. Teams that cancel their registration after 12pm (noon) Pacific time on Friday, November 8 will receive a cancellation fee – please try to avoid this!

(3) We are offering “the package” again this year – teams that purchase the package can play all four Cal Cup tournaments for the price of three. Please recall that this does not require that teams play all four events – many teams end up only playing three tournaments. Complete entry fee information can be found here.

(4) We have confirmed that Cal Cup #2 will take place on Saturday, February 15 at Bellarmine College Prep. We are tentatively planning to use CALISTO 3 for Competitive/Standard and SEDNA for Novice. These are house-write sets (not NAQT). We plan to open registration in early January.

(5) Cal Cup #3 will likely take place on either the weekend of March 8 or March 15 – stay tuned for more information.

(6) In the event that a future Cal Cup tournament is held at UC Berkeley, we may need to implement a one-time fee to help offset the large costs associated with reserving classrooms. We will inform teams far in advance if that ends up being necessary.
