Re: Writing MS Sets
First, I don't know about the feedback thread. However, I could share my Google Doc that we are using with someone if they would be willing to review some of it. You could PM me your email or something.

Re: Writing MS Sets
Thanks for the advice. We have a history expert who is actually better at HS packets than MS due to his depth of knowldege. WEll he's this WWI and II expert who wrote this: At the end of WWI, when Germany had its land taken away, this man said, "This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twent...

EDIT: we changed it to this: The electron transport chain in this organelle converts succinate to fumarate, NADH to NAD+, and water to oxygen.

Re: Writing MS Sets
Is there anything else i could do with these sets, besides handing them down for coaching, and this being a useful way to spend time. I don't think making money is an option unless someone has a good idea

Re: Writing MS Sets
hmmm..... I guess 1 tossup every 2 packets would be better. Also, how do you get inspired for bonuses? I find it much easier to write tossups than bonuses.

Re: Writing MS Sets
I mean when I should mark the end of a power in my sets.
Also, I would rather do something like:
Lit 4/4
History 4/4
Science 4/4
Sports 1/1
Trash 1/1
Fine Arts 2/2
Geography 2/2
Religion 1/1
Philosophy 1/1
Could you guys review my packets here later?

Writing MS Sets
I'm writing MS sets, and I'm aiming for NAQT length, but coverage of stuff that comes up in HS, and excluding the children's crap in NAQT MS. I also realized my powers would be too difficult to get. When is it appropriate for powers, and what should my distribution be?

Re: 2014 NAQT MSNCT: Congratulations Harmony-Excellence!
There was indeed a lot of computational math, which isn't good for a national competition. We actually ate chips, watched NBA playoffs and played video games. Stayed up till 11 friday and saturday. I felt that there wasn't enough lit, and a little too much history. Also, we went to the Coke place in...

Re: 2014 NAQT MSNCT: Congratulations Harmony-Excellence!
Darn I did terrible this tournament. I felt the packet difficulty was harder than the MS used this year, and a little easier than SCOP. I remember hearing Pharell Williams and unconsiously buzzing. Luckily I heard Happy and guessed Despicable Me 2. Anyways, did awards go out to top 12 scorers? I rem...

Re: Late Game
Hi, sorry for talking about qustions and stuff. In a recent tournament, my teamamte knew the answer before I buzzed. IT was the last tossup and if we got it, we would have won. The team knew way more then us, and they also do well in high school tourneys. So then I negged later and y teammate got ma...

Re: Study tips for literature
yay, I'm going to MSNCT too! The best way is to in general, read. What I do is that I write down the sparknotes plot summary. then on quizbowldb.com , I search up the name of that book and write down lots of keywords that tossups ask for. The only bad thing is that you're mostly studying high school...

Re: Late Game
For people talking about improving, that's not an issue right now, because the rest of my tourneys are MS, and we average 300+ PP20TH and 20+ PPB. We have had many close games, especially a 100+ comeback that got us to MSNCT. We went really aggressive, and the captain buzzed on A CLUE to answer a QU...

So we went to a JV tourney and on the last tossup, we were down by 5. We were taking it easy, and the other team negged on something about [QUESTION CONTENT IN A SET THAT IS STILL BEING USED --the mgmt] at the end. So we ended up winning, but this was not agaisnt a very good (relatively) team. So wh...

Re: Aggressiveness
Well, our team lives off of 2 things: 1. Bonus Conversion 2. Powers and Negs. We had this epic >100 point comeback in like 4 tossups because of our ability to power. However we also get lots of negs (which is mostly me). For example I buzzed when i heard "john paul jones" and I had to gues...

Aggressiveness
When should a team go aggressive? For example, if its a very important game and you're down by a lot, should you buzz when you are not completely sure of the answer, but fairly sure? If you have a big lead should you go aggressive or play it conservative? And last, what other situations should you b...
