Re: Announcement: NAQT Cental SCT at WUSTL (2/7/09)
I'd like to thank WUSTL and Neel for providing an excellent tournament. After looking at the stats, it looks like I heard an average (!) of 23 tossups a game, which is a very clear indicator of how sharp and competent the entire moderating staff was. I really had a great time on Saturday.

Re: The mystery of stepping stone theory.
It was because in the 2 months of practicing almost exclusively on A series/IS sets and listening to Tom Sullivan gripe about ACF being impossible they had already gained an aversion to anything without the nice NAQT label. As Carleton is an established team that attends some circuit events, I wond...
