Awards Banquet Tickets

Ticket sales closed at midnight Central, Monday, July 13. There will be no onsite ticket sales.

Tickets abandoned in a cart will be held by Eventbrite for 20 minutes before being returned to the pool for purchase. We will monitor ticket sales as best we can, and thank you for being patient with the natural ebb and flow of tickets to and from the ticket pool.

Hotel Room Block

The hotel room block is now full.

Preferred room rates are:
$162 + tax, King Suite with pullout
$162 + tax, 2 Queen Suite with pullout

• We have secured the largest room block the hotel could provide due to corporate policy. Yet, there will be those who will not be able to secure the necessary rooms. There are other hotels in the immediate area.
• Once the link from our website is clicked, the booking site is beyond our control, and Bible Quizzing and UPCI Youth Ministries will be unable to address any specific website issues with the booking site.
• If a team needs many rooms, it is better practice to have multiple people book fewer rooms rather than unsuccessfully attempt a single large block.
• The hotel has stressed that rooms booked outside our block, no matter how far in advance, will not be added to the block at the preferred rate.

Quizzes

Both the District Finals and NABQT quiz sets for both the Intermediate and Experienced Divisions will be written by Bible Quizzing Director, Russ Faubert.
