All registration checks must be postmarked by May 1. For each day your check is not postmarked after May 1, a $15 fee will be added to your entry fee. If your check is not received by May 15, PACE reserves the right to drop your team from the tournament.
Qualification Discounts: Teams take the largest qualifying discount that applies; they do not combine them, and they do not apply to every team from a school by default (e.g., if an A team qualified at a gold tournament, and a school then qualified both an A and B team at an affiliated tournament, then their discount is $50 for the A team and $25 for the B team, not $50 for each team).
Buzzers: Buzzers must have manual clearing and have a control box and eight activators that all work. Teams should bring spare parts if available. Teams claiming a discount for battery-powered buzzers must provide a new battery in the system or an extra battery in the case.
Staffers: A staffer can be any person affiliated with the team who is brought to the tournament, at team expense, to work as a scorekeeper for the entire event.
Checks should be mailed to PACE Treasurer Donald Taylor at the following address:
