We are pleased to announce that the Southern mirror of British Novice 2025 will be held at the University of Southampton on Saturday, November 29, 2025. This tournament is aimed at student quizzers with limited or no tournament experience as an ideal event for those taking their first steps in academic quizbowl. The packets were written by UKQB volunteers, which means all the questions pertain to the UK more than if we just got our hands on an American set.The tournament will take place in the university's Avenue Campus (Building 65), located a direct bus route from Southampton Central station and a 10-minute walk from the bus interchange. The opening meeting will begin at 9:45am with gameplay starting at 10am, and is being run by Ros and Jamie.
This is also one of two in-person sites for the tournament, as there will be a Northern mirror held in Sheffield.
The cost per team will be £80, with discounts for buzzers (-£5 per working set), moderators (-£25 per mod) and for being a new institution participating in quizbowl (-£40).
The current field cap is 24 teams, with space to expand should demand be high enough to make that necessary.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
Participants must be students studying for a degree at a UK university. Participants should also be novices and not have extensive tournament experience. If you are unsure about a player's eligibility, please contact either the hosts or UK Quizbowl.
