We are pleased to announce that Cal Cup #3 will take place on Saturday, February 12 at Saint Francis in Mountain View; we’d like to thank SF coach Mei Yang for her assistance during this process. Saint Francis asks for strict masking when inside and reasonable social distancing when eating outside. In addition, the school requests that large numbers of people do not congregate in the inside Commons area. 

We are using DART II for Competitive and RAFT III for Standard and Novice. Please be aware that the set we are using for Competitive is challenging and is geared towards teams that wish to play at high school nationals. In addition, the set we are using for Novice is harder than a typical novice set.

A reminder about the “Churchill Rule”: If a middle school registers several teams we will place 2 in the field and the rest on the waitlist. In addition, Saint Francis would like to reiterate that middle school teams should be accompanied by an adult chaperone at all times.

The initial field cap will be 16 for Competitive and 12 each for Standard/Novice; we will expand the field if we can secure enough staff.

This competition is taking place on Saturday, January 22 on Discord. We are using NAQT IS-208 for Varsity and IS-209A for JV. The initial field cap is 9 for both divisions. Teams may consist of up to six members. The last date to register is Tuesday, January 18. We are limiting the field to only Sacramento-area schools until we can recruit enough staff to support more schools.

Entry fee:
$60 per team
$30 New School Discount
$30 Staff Discount ($15 for half-day)
$20 cancellation fee (for teams that cancel after 6PM Pacific on Friday, January 21)

Cal Cup #2 is taking place on Saturday, December 18 (on Discord). We will use CALISTO 2 for Competitive/Standard and CERES for Novice (both housewrite sets). Entry fee/discount/payment info is the same as Cal Cup #1. The field cap, for now, is 14 teams per division.

New: If a middle school registers several teams we will place 2 in the field and the rest on the waitlist. We want to prioritize high school teams (since this is a high school tournament). Let’s call it the Churchill Rule 🙂

Register here. The list of registered teams will be posted here

California Cup #1 (Cal Classic) will take place online (Discord) on Saturday, November 13. We are using NAQT IS-206 for the Competitive+Standard divisions and NAQT IS-207A for the Novice division. Like last year, teams will pay for each tournament separately. Teams consist of up to six members. This will likely be the only Cal Cup tournament that is a direct qualifier for HSNCT (must be in Competitive in order to qualify).

Register for Cal Cup #1 here (need an NAQT account in order to register). Indicate any staff (and their name(s)) that your team is bringing on your registration page

Cal Cup #2 on Discord is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, December 18 (the same weekend as last year). We have not yet confirmed the date/location for Cal Cups #3 and #4.
