Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: NAQT Region 6 SCT @ NGCSU (Feb 6, 2010)
I'd also like to thank Robin and the NGCSU staff for running an excellent tournament. I, too, thought the gift certificates were a brilliant idea.

Re: Great News! CBI "Susp"Ends!
Just so everyone is aware, the host school for NCT had to provide most of the perks like free meals, goodies, and the like. One of College Bowl's coordinators talked very briefly to us about hosting nationals at the airport on the way back from NCT '07, and mentioned that hosting CBI, instead of be...

Re: Great News! CBI "Susp"Ends!
Nonetheless, costs could not be scaled down with the size of the national field because College Bowl was still bound to hold RCTs for every region (whatever way they could) and to hold its most expensive event, the NCT, as a 16-team event, and they were apparently too stiff-necked to start cutting ...

Re: Great News! CBI "Susp"Ends!
As someone who has had the misfortune to play at CBI tournaments, I can only say, woo-hoo!
This news comes as a surprise to me, though -- I had no idea CBI was suffering from financial problems. Can anyone speculate as to what precisely caused CBI to suspend their program?

Just one comment: In my opinion, there should not be ANY trash or geography in NAQT packets. No NAQT packet, at least not at D1 level, should ever contain a single trash or geography question. Everyone hates these kinds of questions and there is no valid excuse for continuing to include them. I thi...

From the same packet: Your question writer placed an extra hydrogen on this molecule's beta carbon and received no credit on a quiz. At least this tells you that it's a molecule with at least one hydrogen on its beta carbon. But is there any way that anyone, other than the question writer, could pos...

I agree that that tournament really sucked. I'm kind of jealous of the Florida team as they can get funding for non-CBI tournaments. At least our whining to the powers that be of not getting funding for the ICT and that it would have cost ~$2000 less than going to CBI nationals and stuff convinced ...

I went partly because I was morbidly curious about whether it was really as bad as everyone claims, but mostly because it was a free trip to LA. Just to confirm: It was, right?

This tournament was infuriating, terrible, and ridiculous. The tournament amenities and the sightseeing were cool, but the questions... bleccch. I don't know what CBI is, but it's not quizbowl.

Brown has a special library devoted to all of John Hay's private papers. Dividing the number of said papers by the number of university libraries in the United States clearly implies that John Hay's writings should come up at least once every tournament.

Re: A Modest Proposal
A solution is obvious. I propose that NAQT make its tournaments only open to undergrads (in their first four years) and combine their two divisions into one. Freshment/CCs would play with everyone else but be eligible for separate awards (as undergrads are in Div I nowadays). This solution would so...

As a current senior at Brown, I can attest that Brown, unfortunately, does not have a quiz bowl program. Pardon my asking, but if you've (presumably) been at Brown for four years, but there is no quiz bowl program (and hasn't had one for awhile, it would appear), then what inspired you to join a qu...
