At what locations might a team hypothetically qualify for the 2019 Intercollegiate Championship Tournament?

Canada is part of the universe.

What's the difficulty of the set supposed to be? MUT, SMT and EMT are all 2.0 difficulty by Ophir's difficulty scale but the OP states a difficulty level of 1.5.
Additionally, MUT/SMT/EMT are basically the same difficulty level as EFT, but the set is advertised as between ACF Fall and EFT level.

Currently the distribution adds up to 20.45/20.45
Is the geo/misc distribution supposed to be 1.27/1.27?

Congratulations to Richard Montgomery A for winning a disadvantaged final against Richard Montgomery A! Thank you to all the teams for coming and we hope to see you again! So there were two A teams? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just looking through the forum, don't know anything about the actual to...

While MSNCT and IS-A are accounted for in Morlan rankings, they have very little effect on the positions of teams in the rankings.

It's almost certainly not what you are looking for, but there does exist a speedcheck set on the packet archive. Warning: it's really, really hard and comes with all the eccentricities that 10-year old packets have

You should totally call this the Metropolis-Hastings tournament

Can I see the main sequence tossup?

Since everyone else is posting a discussion thread, I thought I'd make one for MN.
Discuss MN qb

Since we're talking about CMST, I'd like to say (brag) that I did quite well at CMST as well

I remember the abc conjecture clue was trying to get how on the statement of the conjecture, a and b have to be relatively prime. I found it really hard to parse and convert during game speed though.

I’m pleased to announce, CANONEXPANSION (Creating Additional Names Or New EXtra Possible Answers Now Science Is Only Natural, thanks to Sam Brochin for the name), an experimental science side event written by Vishwa Shanmugam and I to be played in the 2018-2019 season. CANONEXPANSION is experimental...

So obviously high schooler co team isn't happening, but I have confirmed that I am able to attend, so I am now looking for a team.

I play (and will be able to write) science and nothing else. I will be able to get 6/6 science done by June 10th and possibly May 27th.

yes

The astronomy tossups felt a little on the easy side for me (color magnitude diagrams are quite well known and are a super big deal, afterglow is quite well known and comes up far later on most other GRB tossups etc.). Other than that, the astronomy questions seemed really well written and relevant ...

woah I didn't know there was anyone in MN hs qb who used the forums

(also https://stats.neg5.org/t/BJ8YuTjcz/smt- ... -standings but i think it was all chimeras here)

Are any high schoolers here interested in a high schoolers team?

(I’m still not quite sure if I’m personally going yet though)

Your stats link doesn't work for me. Is This it?

A post by Brian Kalathiveetil in the discord says it will be in Folwell Hall and that the details *might* have been emailed by Jason.

I don't have a rigorous studying schedule. Usually when I'm bored in class or at home, I'll read some packets or look over/make some notecards. I'd say I spent an average of anywhere from 10 to 25 hours on doing things for the specific purpose of getting better at qb, mostly depending on how much sc...

If the date was moved to this Sunday, I probably wouldn't be able to play.

I'm still available, in case anyone is looking for another player.
I play science.

Hunter A is definitely underrated here. They just got 26.82 PPB on IS-172 without Daniel Ma.

I played in a tournament at Virginia Tech a few years ago where we had a packet of "Before and After" questions, like the category on Wheel of Fortune For example: Straight Outta Compton Scattering, The Beverly Hill-Billy Joe Armstrong, Bruce Wayne Brady, etc The idea is that you write the question...

You could select every category except science.

Same except less competitive.

Same except even less competitive (and also a high schooler).
