About the event

This is the announcement for Venetian III, a buzzer-free, league-style tournament for individuals of all ages. Details on the format can be found here.

The tournament will take place over Discord and Zoom. There will be a Discord server set up for easy communication, but those unable to join it may request to have information emailed to them. Games will take place via Zoom. 

Each player will play one game per week at times which work for each player’s schedule. Each game week lasts from Saturday to Tuesday. Games are expected to last about 35 minutes each. Each player will play six games. 

Games will be played starting the week of September 30 through the week of November 4.

Divisions

This tournament will have four divisions.

1. Open / Senior Championship

2. Senior Novice

3. U18 Championship

4. U18 Novice

In the United States: players in the high school graduating class of 2024 (or younger) will be placed in the "U18" divisions. Players in the high school graduating class of 2023 (or older) will be placed in the first two divisions.

Outside the United States: players who will be 18 years old (or younger) on August 1, 2024 will be placed in the "U18" divisions. Players who will be 19 years old (or older) on August 1, 2024 will be placed in the first two divisions. 

For the quizbowl players: the target difficulty of prelims in the Championship Division is equivalent to the difficulty of the 2017-2019 Early Fall Tournament question sets (slightly easier than Venetian II). The target difficulty of playoffs in the Championship Division is equivalent to "college regular" or "2 dot" difficulty. The target difficulty of questions in the Novice Division is equivalent to “college novice” and “high school regular” difficulty.
