Re: Northeast Discussion '23/'24
West Chester Henderson A should factor into your calculations. Due to quirks with Chester County's IU competition, they've only played A-sets outside the IU and have a 2nd (ahead of Great Valley, Germantown Friends, and Downingtown STEM) and a first (over Wilmington Charter) in two tournaments to sh...

Re: Fun Practice Formats
We like to do "quiz bowl charades" occasionally. This involves either pairing stronger players with less-experienced players or restricting the strongest player on one or both teams to not give the answer to the question when they buzz. Instead, they have to come up with their own further ...

Re: MSNCT: Let's Get Shredded
Interesting thoughts, and I agree with the idea of using NAQT podcasts over J! You might also consider finding public television stations online with streams of past TV tournaments that use NAQT questions -- these won't be nearly as long as MSNCT questions, but will have high-school level content an...

The A team faces an (overlarge) B team with no penalties for negs other than c...
