Nationals – Response Needed by Oct 17th

It’s time for me to register our group for our National Bible Bowl Tournament! You probably saw the email from National Bible Bowl about it – but please be sure to read all of THIS message so you’re clear on what YOU need to do vs. what I will be doing for you as part of the Southeast group. All students and teams are invited and encouraged to attend – it is a culmination of all their efforts for the season!

Travel and Fees Info

• We meet at Southeast at 9:00am on Friday, Dec. 5th and will carpool to Kentucky Christian University (KCU) in Grayson, KY where our competition is held.
• We return home Sunday, Dec. 7th around 5pm.
• Students will be staying either with a parent or church-approved coaches/chaperones (2 adults per room) in the hotel. Breakfasts will be free at the hotel while lunches and dinners will be on campus and covered in the registration fee.
• We are charging $250 per student (this is the $175 registration fee, plus dividing costs for $50 per team registration fee and hotel costs). If you are unable to pay the full amount for your student or need to spread out payment, just reach out to me and we’ll work it out.

Who Needs to Register:

• I will register all students and coaches/regular helpers who are attending (I will confirm this with you).
• If you are a non-coach parent attending or spectating, you will register yourself by October 31st (see below for details).

Info for Spectators (i.e., people other than the players and coaches)

• Spectator “attend only” – $40 for adults, $20 for minors. This option has no food or event hoodie and no admittance to cafeteria.
• Spectator – $120 for adults, $100 for minors. Includes food/admittance to cafeteria and event hoodie.
  • If you are a parent of a player, register yourself (and your spouse if he or she is coming) on your Bible Bowl account by October 31st.
  • If you are not a parent with an account, register yourself using this link for other spectators.
  • If your student’s Bible Bowl account is under a different parent name than yours (e.g., Mom’s on the account, but Dad is the only one attending) – please do NOT register through your Bible Bowl account, but instead use this link for other spectators.
• Day Pass – $20 per day (must email office@biblebowl.org to register for this option and receive instructions)
• Hotel – if you’re rooming with your student or as a chaperone, we can include you in our hotel arrangements. If additional rooms are needed, you’ll need to pay for those yourself.

Here is the response and action I need from you by Friday, October 17th (please email me at megankuhl@gmail.com):

• Is your student attending – yes or no? If yes:
  • Be sure to log in to your Bible Bowl account and double check his or her t-shirt size for the hoodie.
  • Let me know if he or she wants to participate in the Quote Bee.
• Are you or others in your family attending? If yes:
  • Who all is going?
  • Are you able to drive your student, and are you willing to drive additional students (and how many)?
  • Are you willing to be a quizmaster if needed?
  • Are you willing to chaperone a hotel room or will it be family only for your room?

Please send check made out to Southeast to practice by October 27th. You can pay all together on one check if there are multiple people to pay for. Here are the amounts that you will owe to Southeast (I can confirm amounts with you specifically also):

• $250 per student
• $35 for adult spectator (you will pay $85 yourself when you register, but the remaining $35 will be charged to our Southeast invoice which I pay on arrival)
• $15 for minor spectator (you will pay $85 yourself when you register, but the remaining $15 will be charged to our Southeast invoice which I pay on arrival)
• $20 per day for day passes
• Weekly coaches and helpers – no payment. You will be paid for from our Southeast budget as a thank you for your time and dedication to these students and this program! We couldn’t do this without you!

Let me know if you have any questions! More details will follow for driving arrangements, paperwork, etc. Travel details/what to bring can be found under our events tab. Thank you!
