I personally thought the Chem common link on "0" was entertaining and an interesting idea. Can people who didn't like it elaborate on why they disliked it?

Coincidentally so am I. Heads up: according to the listserve it's from 5-8 today

Is the set going to be posted soon?

To be fair that was on an SAT day, so low attendance was to be expected

At the risk of diverting this discussion a bit, I just wanted to say congratulations to all the seniors in the DC/MD/VA area who are graduating and wish them the best of luck in their college endeavors. You guys have all been really great to play against, and I am sure that I would not have worked a...

Hey sorry to bother you again, but could I please see the tossup on hemoglobin?

On the Schubert question, I also thought about the clue being potential Haydn negbait, but decided to leave it in because I feel that just because a question says Esterhazy, one shouldn't buzz in based solely on that. I could add something like "this non-Haydn composer," if it helps. Ok, ...

Here you are. Hopefully there's nothing wrong with the Bangladesh tossup, as that would be quite embarrassing... Haha no, there's nothing wrong, it's fantastic in fact. I actually just asked for it because I was proud of first-lining it and wanted to show my parents :) Regarding the Schubert tossup...

Could I please see the tossups on Bangladesh and Schubert?

Also for the sake of comparison, is the original BDAT I available online anywhere?

Yeah, we'll be there too. I'll try to get a registration in soon after school starts again

What was the problem with this tossup? I ask because a teammate of mine buzzed in with Solomon really early on and got negged.

What year are Maggie Walker's A team members? I know Connor's a sophomore, but what about the rest of them? How well are they going to restock next year? Saumil, Jordan and Soho are all seniors so it looks like Connor will be back by himself, which is still pretty scary since he's an absolute beast...

Stats! Just a question, how come New Kent A got to play off against RM A for third place, even though Walter Johnson beat New Kent A in the playoff bracket?

To add to the potential conflict with the April 27th date, I sent a PM to Noah earlier today advising him that the 27th was also in the middle of the NHBB's National Bowl & Bee tournaments in the DC & Alexandria areas that wekend. I suggested a move to early May with the idea that the HFT S...

Thanks to Charter for running a very smooth tournament, with minimum complications. We were really happy that we could get out as quickly as 4:30.

As a side note, could you please clarify exactly which teams qualified for HSNCT/NSC? Thanks!

Walter Johnson shares the same sentiments as RM and GDS. Please don't cancel the tournament

We could run a tournament on an A level set with two divisions if teams would prefer that.

Do you mean in March or this weekend?

Charter has claimed Nov. 3rd for the Delaware Fall Tournament. Centennial High School will be having its tournament (NAQT-Novice set but open to everyone)on SUNDAY 12/2/12 (a day after the SATs).

I'm not sure if this completely conflicts with your field or not, but according to the NAQT website the University of Maryland is planning on using the same set for Maryland Fall

The part that most jumps out to me from your rankings is that you ranked both RM A and your own team over a still very strong Blair A. Even though they do lose Daniel H., Blair still returns two very good players in Ian and Thomas. In fact, looking at stats from Pace, Ian had a better PPG than Danie...

Considering that the finals for OSPL Round 6 has been postponed to sometime this week + the fact that AP Exams start next week, I would assume that Champions League would start around after HSNCT or right before?
