Scholar Bowl Advisory Committee - Meeting Summary
Held May 16, 2016
1. Recommended that the time schedule for the District Tournaments be changed to the morning, using the same schedule that was used in 2007-08 and earlier (9, 10, 11am Prelims, 1pm Semis, 2pm Finals) due to the addition of the ACT testing for all juniors during the week which further alleviates scholar bowl’s intermittent conflict with the ACT test date.
**2. Recommended that the District Entry Fee be raised from $75 to $125 and that the Sectional Entry Fee be raised from $50 to $75 to address the scholar bowl budgetary deficit, and that no further changes to the district, sectional or state series formats be made.
*3. Recommended that the Board propose a Ballot item to increase the Scholar Bowl contest limitations for high schools from 14 to 18, with no change to the junior high limitations.
* Denied
