Whitman also returns Todd, who has apparently been studying over the summer, and Alex, who will presumably continue to pick up Romanian stuff.

Nick, You're right in that while they are still considered students at their home schools it is certainly a complicating factor, particularly when ADA funds still go to that home school. I don't know if there are stipulations on what competitions those students would be permitted to take part in fo...

An unadorned reading of the NAQT and ACF eligibility rules suggests that since students are enrolled and doing their coursework at the Gatton Academy and are transferring in-between years there should be no problem. They might also be able to play for WKU although I'm still not clear what the relati...

Sunday there is a team of Bruce Arthur, Douglas Graebner, Richard Mason, and me. Kevin Koai will be playing on the team David Seal mentioned above.

There's a googledoc linked upthread which does indeed list those teams.

I too would like to play this.

Isn't HSAPQ working on some kind of encyclopedia of the HS canon?

Not sure if this is the right thread but I'll need to hitch a ride both days. Lemme know if you're willing to offer one.

About how much of the answer space is salvagable? Can some of the harder questions be used for final(s) packets?

at your pleasure

Having obtained time off work for both days, I will likewise offer free agency.

Can we have a field update?

Chris is pretty cool. You want him to liveblog your games.

Thirded. Chris is a fine gentleman and a pleasure to be around. There is no reason I can imagine to be terrifed of him.

I have two teammates who want to play on the same team, so if anyone has two open slots contact them at [email protected] or [email protected].
EDIT: Neither are spectacular but they're both decent players and nice guys to be around.

I remember this being pretty fun last year. Anyone want to do them again this year?

I don't really know of any summer high school opens, although some might crop up. You could go to summer practices if you want to play some over the summer, though-many college teams have summer practices and if there aren't any college teams that have summer practices around where you live, you cou...

A potential type II error did come up at our mirror. Two TJ C players who had been dragooned to play NSC asked to play on the ground that they hadn't themselves qualifed for NSC. Their stats weren't that impressive, so we let them play and they didn't destroy the field or anything like that so it se...

I am interesting in organizing festal activity(ies) at NSC on Saturday night.

I also recall two specific factucal errors. Who should I contact about them? EDIT: There's no way another tournament is running this set with HSNCT and NSC in the next two weeks. The errors were that Alan Turing was american(he was in fact british) and that the Ognissanti Madonna is Giotto's only su...

Whitman will be staying at various houses in the 20817 zipcode. However, I could conceivable be persuaded to hike out to Fair Oaks if it is not too far of a drive.

Does someone from GDS have notes on that game?

Fraud, quizbowl osmosis, and being fascinated by art history, mostly.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this, but thanks to our volunteer staffers, Mrs. Danis, and everyone else who made this happen.

Yeah, it was fun to watch the first game be settled on a mathcomp tossup. Was there any reason the full 24/24 was decided to be used? I'm just curious as to the rationale. I figured that we couldn't go wrong with hearing more tossups If having mathcomp isn't something wrong, I don't know what is. B...

If you want to register, we will take exactly one more team if they register before 11 PM. If nobody does so, then we will want a scab team.

Note: I will send you a fresh copy of the set, since various things have been fixed from the Ilinois version.

Thread bump. While we're all happy we hit the magic number, a few more teams wouldn't hurt. Please sign up, MD/DC teams!

Doug's visarts was just...wow. I don't mind donating $2 to Team MD, but the set had issues that I'm sure: a) people have talked to Doug about and b) Doug will fix before any future mirrors. On that note, this means that people who are not Zahed or Dan should really, really email me their criticisms...

Can you get back to me about what I sent you?

Hmm. Well, normally I'd suggest looking at old question sets but most of these are for high school/college with a few middle school sets. You can try the middle school sets and see if that does anything. I guess the best thing to do if those don't help would be to take notes at competitions and see ...

As incredible as that final game was, it should be noted that Maggie Walker almost lost the first meeting of the day against TJ, needing to sweep the final three tossups in order to avoid the loss. TJ is an excellent team, and has improved steadily this year. They should be counted among the best t...

We might do that, but we are also interested in having a "pure" trash round in case we do this That's a bad idea. Invest more of your time to writing as good of a tournament as possible. True, but A) a single trash packet should not be that much effort and B) they could always ask about m...

This way, he doesn't have to scroll through the powerpoint to see if an answer is right or wrong.

Two reminders about the art packet:
1. Brad, because I am paranoid, let me know that you got the answer list alright.
2. This is being played elsewhere on May 8th, so don't post any question-specific dicscussion. If you have a question, comment, or issue with the set, email me at [email protected].
