Academic Competitions

Format In person, Oxford campus

Team check-in will begin at 7:45 a.m. and will end at 8:45 a.m. All teams must check-in with the tournament staff before participating. Round One will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. If a team arrives more than 5 minutes late to a match, the match will be automatically forfeited.

In the Round Robin portion of the tournament, each team will play another team in the same bracket. Since there are six teams in a bracket, every team will play against five other teams. At the end of the Round Robin, the team in each of the six brackets with the most wins will move on to the Championship Rounds. The other two spots will be filled based on number of points averaged per round.

The Championship Rounds are single-elimination. Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places.

An awards ceremony will follow immediately upon completion of the championship and consolation rounds.
