Re: New NAQT Individual Player National Championship Tournam

I'm just wondering, is there any way that a tournament participant here would get access to SCT DII questions? My state organization has said they will not allow me to play in the state championship tournament if I play in this due to question security issues so I'm leaning towards having to cancel ...

Re: Caught in difficulty limbo

As an extension to this post, what college packets would be the best to practice for teams trying to get good at PACE/HSNCT level? The answerlines in ACF Regs and MUT seem a bit too obscure (especially towards the end) while ACF Fall seems a bit easier than HS nationals...

Re: Great Quizometrical Survey

After the Texas State Championship results, it seems as if the best team in Texas is now St. Marks. They defeated St. Johns (390-240) and Taylor (390-225) and LASA (400-305) at the state championship. Of course, HSNCT is a whole another tournament, and I hope (for my own team's sake) the defeat we s...

Re: HSQBRank 2016-2017

Mr. Morlan, have you thought about using more than just ppb to do rankings? Perhaps you could lower the number of teams ranked, but use a more holistic process to rank them. Your rankings are very important, as they are used to seed the PACE national championship, so its vital that they are as accur...
