Re: On Team Splitting at National Qualifiers

I'm sympathetic to this, but on the other hand, I'm not sure how you could enforce this, as this is effectively locking in a team's nationals lineup in January or early February. Aside from things like you alluded to such as illness or schedule issues, there's things like SCT Team A and SCT Team B ...

On Team Splitting at National Qualifiers

Now that the A-Values have been published, I think it is a good time to discuss team splitting in nationals qualification. I think team splitting for national qualifiers should be banned. This is because it goes against the purpose of national qualifiers, which is to find the best teams in the count...

Re: SuMO VIII at Pellissippi State, Knoxville (7/8/2023)

I can guarantee you SOME of us would be enthusiastic about a 11-team full RR! I heartily endorse this message. EDIT: To elaborate a little further on my point, I think with the field this year being pretty strong and playing on high school questions the rounds should go by pretty quickly (as a poin...

Re: Paired Tossups and Bonuses

I think you need very strict length control and bonus timing So the latter point is going to be extremely difficult to uniformly enforce across an entire tournament unless every room has a nats caliber reader in it (which most local tournaments definitely do not have!). Bounceback timing is arguabl...

Re: Paired Tossups and Bonuses

Here's another argument in favor of bouncebacks: let's pretend you're a player who only contributes on 2/2 per game and absolutely nothing else. Let's furthermore assume that you're on a middle team which gets an average of 10 tossups per game. Across a 10 game tournament, this means you are "...
