The Class Act

2011 Fall Academic Tournament

Middle School- November 19, 2011

RESULTS:

1st - Meyzeek

2nd - Sacred Heart

Final Four: Kammerer, St. Raphael

 

 

Academic Competition Funding for Middle and High Schools

Funding for academic competition began in 1986 when school budgets were controlled by the Board of Education. At that time the Board included a $1000 line-item earmarked for academic competition. When the schools went to site-based management, that $1000 was included in the total amount allocated to the schools. It is recommended that the local school designate the money from their yearly budget for academic competition. No funds are sent from the Office of Academic Competition for the program’s expenses. If you have a problem, please check with your bookkeeper and locate the code from which your KAAC dues have been paid in the past.

What should the $1000.00 from your school budget be used for?

  • KAAC Dues (Annual expense-notice is sent to the schools in the spring.)
  • Equipment repairs/replacement
  • Study materials/practice questions for quick recall and FPS
  • Hosting costs (food, custodial services, etc.)
  • Other tournament fees/expenses
  • Other expenses for academic competition as allowed by your principal.

NOTE: Not all of these expenses will occur each year. Hosting is the largest expenditure, but that should only get assigned to a given school every 3-4 years.

The Class Act 2008 Fall Academic Tournament

Results:
1st Place – Crosby Middle School
2nd Place – Sacred Heart Model School
Runner Up Teams – Noe Middle School and Meyzeek Middle School

All four teams received trophies.
In addition, the second place team receives a $100.00 check. The first place team receives a $200.00 check.

JCPS Middle School Tournament

Teams earn points throughout the fall league season with quick recall wins, FPS scores, and written assessment scores. The eight JCPS middle school teams with the highest overall scores for the season are invited to the middle school tournament beginning January 6. The tournament is double elimination. It continues on January 13 and concludes on January 20, 2010.

KAAC’s 6th Grade Showcase

December 4, 2010
This is the chance for your 6th grade quick recall team to shine!
The 6th Grade Showcase, coordinated by the Kentucky Association of Academic Competition, will be held on December 4, 2010. You may take part in this tournament by signing up online through KAAC. There is a fee for participation. In this competition, students (three in each subject area) will take written assessments first thing in the morning and play double elimination quick recall in the afternoon. Mark your calendar and plan to attend!

QUICK RECALL LEAGUE:
START TIME: Games should begin by 3:15. If there is an emergency, please call ahead and inform the host school.
If a visiting school has not arrived by 3:30, they forfeit the first game with the host school.
If not present by 3:45, they forfeit both games. EXCEPT when you play Brown! They must arrive by 3:30 and forfeit at 3:45 p.m.
OFFICIALS: All schools are required to have TWO adults present at all matches – a moderator/ judge and a coach.
Students may act as spotters, score-keepers, and computer operators.
REPORT SCORES: FAX (6647) or e-mail (janet.morris@jefferson.kyschools.us) scores by 10 a.m. on the morning following the competition.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TOURNAMENT AND LEAGUE PLAY
IN LEAGUE PLAY:
*There is no chief official. There is no one to bump inquiries up to, so the judge has the final say. When judging, if any doubt exists about the validity of an inquiry, consult with the moderator to help you reach a fair decision. When in doubt, accept what’s on the answer sheet. The answers are checked by editors and the office of academic competition before they are sent out. Although some errors may still exist, for the most part, they are pretty accurate. Make your decision as fairly and as quickly as possible and carry on with the match. You may make some imperfect decisions occasionally, but that’s only human. Use your best judgment when it comes to accepting answers that are close to what’s on the sheet and be wary of accepting “proof” from a coach that comes from an outdated source.

  • Bullet rounds occur at the half of a match. How the papers are presented to each team and collected again should be mutually agreed upon by both teams to ensure fairness. Bullet rounds begin the second week of the league season.
  • There is no overtime in league play. No extra questions are provided to do overtime, so matches that end in a tie should be reported as such. Both teams are credited with a win when this situation occurs.
  • High school league matches are only 12 minutes long, not 15 minutes (as they are in tournament play). Middle School matches are also 12 minutes long.
  • Question packets should only be opened after the other team arrives. Coaches do not open the questions. The judge and moderator do. That means there is a representative from each school present when they are opened for the first time.

Academic Team Eligibility Standards

Your local school has set their own eligibility standards OR they adhere to the District standards. It is the responsibility of each individual school to formulate and enforce eligibility standards for academic competition. Check with your principal about your school’s academic eligibility policy. If a school policy does not exist, the district policy is to comply to KAAC requirements.

Differences Between Tournament And League Play

  1. IN LEAGUE PLAY:

    There is no chief official. There is no one to bump inquiries up to, so the judge has the final say. When judging, if any doubt exists about the validity of an inquiry, consult with the moderator to help you reach a fair decision. When in doubt, accept what’s on the answer sheet. The answers are checked by two different editors and the office of academic competition before they are sent out. Although some errors may still exist, for the most part, they are pretty accurate. Make your decision as fairly and as quickly as possible and carry on with the match. You may make some imperfect decisions occasionally, but that’s only human. Use your best judgment when it comes to accepting answers that are close to what’s on the sheet and be wary of accepting “proof” from a coach that comes from an outdated source. (This is especially true for science and social studies questions.)
  2. Bullet rounds occur at the half of a match. How the papers are presented to each team and collected again should be mutually agreed upon by both teams to ensure fairness.
  3. Question packets should only be opened after the other team arrives. Coaches do not open the questions. The judge and moderator do. That means there is a representative from each school present when they are opened for the first time. (Note: For high school matches moderators get a copy of the questions they will read to the other schools in advance.)
  4. High school league matches are only 12 minutes long, not 15 minutes (as they are in tournament play). Middle School matches are also 12 minutes long.
  5. There is no overtime in league play. No extra questions are provided to do overtime, so matches that end in a tie should be reported as such. Both teams are credited with a win when this situation occurs.
  6. Visiting teams should always bring their buzzer system to league matches in case the host school's system breaks down.

Quick recall scores should be emailed or faxed in to the office by 10:00 a.m. on the day following the match by the host school. We have a deadline with the Courier Journal in order to publish the scores.
