Sorry Fred for the stupid question... read the announcement way to fast and didn't see that you had WV in the post

Matthew D

Which Bridgeport High School Fred?

Matthew D

Hey Josh if you want you can just shorten ours to KDS DAR (Kate Duncan Smith DAR is way too long at times)

Matthew D

I will have to say that this tournament was much better run that previous years and it did seem like there were some repeats and other problems with that A set. Really wish we had the entire stats for the whole tournament not just the first half of the day. Dorman looked strong Hoover A looked stron...

Lee
I'll have one moderator I can give you also... Nathan he does a good job

Also put us down for 3-4 teams..

Matthew D

I emailed Charlie.. it is 26 September

Matthew D

One of mine will be JV also

Matthew D

Fred,
I just sent one from my school account so you should have it soon... it might be the proxy that we have for the dennisme account (my school account)

Matthew D · Re: William R. King Memorial in Tuscaloosa, AL 9/5/09 update on the field yet?

update on the field yet?

Matthew D

I'll attempt to locate it but had class today and somethings got moved..

Matthew D

it is in my room and as for scanning it.. that might not happen due to the fact I don't have a scanner sorry

Just looked at the SQBS file... it was 10 bonus heard for 290 points on that game.. and SQBS did the auto calculation on that one...

Matthew D

Well unless my wife entered something incorrectly which I don't think happened or SQBS kicked something out wrong (SQBS gave us some fits) it is as reported...

Matthew D

Sorry .... I actually forgot to hit the switch on that one.. fixed now

Matthew D

Thank you Chris that means a lot to us.
Here are the stats from today the last pool is the playoff pool

http://darhslab.bravehost.com/DAR09/DAR ... dings.html

Matthew D

not sure what you are meaning by the 4/4/4/4 but I am kicking around the idea of doing the pool play that is up to 18 teams now, two pools of 9 each and the do round robin playoff with the top 6 teams (basically 3 from each pool) both pools seem to be evenly matched from what I know about the teams ...

Matthew D

Final update

Add Russellville Kids and delete one of BMHS teams
16 total teams two pools of 8
7 rounds pool play then playoffs... top 3 from each pool but I might be flexible about 2 wildcats on PPG if all the coaches agree

Matthew D

I'm keeping up with stats during practice on the great little excel sheets that were made by some members of the board... once I get my actual teaching classes settled I am going to go back and compile them. Hey Lee as for time: I am doing 6:30-7:30 for one group that have after school activities an...

Brindlee Mt (2)

Matthew D

Coach
they are using 87A which is the same as Kennesaw or that was the last I had heard from NAQT because I was trying to make it so some of the GA teams could make it to DAR this year...

Matthew D

DAR will be interested also... I sent you an email earlier...

Matthew D

Totally understand Rick and sorry we won't be seeing you guys then...
Matt

Matthew D

Rick looks like that we are IS-86 using, which is the same as the Gwinnett County event. Kennesaw is using our first A-level set (87A), the same as Alabama's Rufus King event.
So I don't know what to tell you
Matt

Matthew D

Rick,
I would love to see your teams up at DAR in August. Right now I am attempting to get a clarification on which set we are using and I will attempt to see if we can make sure there is not a conflict if it can be helped

Matthew D

Just thought I would give a update on teams that have already indicated they are coming on the 22nd Hoover (2 or 3) Hume Fogg (2) Brindlee Mountain (not sure on teams) We still have room and we would love to have as many teams as we can up to the max of 26 teams at this early in the season tournament.

Matthew D

What time frame are we looking at for this... DAR might be interested if I can get things worked out.. it would be an over night trip for us

Matthew D

Thanks for the nod Alvin Our team will be ok, I hope with most of the varsity team returning. Hoover has all the pieces in place to be the "team" in Alabama this year with all but one of its team returning... they should make life miserable for the rest of us Indian Spring, solid again thi...

Matthew D

My daughter, Meghan, is going to be a Milligan...

Matthew D

DAR should have at least 2 teams at the tournament...

Matthew D

cool I think I might have to see if I can find me a team for this one

Matthew D

both should be correct because one is the more common name, while the the other is the IUPAC nomenclature

Matthew D

Cool James I should see you up there.. bringing some of my crew to help out...

Matthew D

Cody S told me that the entire MLK team are juniors so they should all be back...

Matthew D

both of mine got a business card from Dwight Kidder I think...

Matthew D

I have watch Hoover all this year and I think that they did well in Chicago and I know they will have their entire A team back next year..this should be interesting since they finished 17th..

Matthew D

Eric what classes are you teaching this summer at Milligan?

Matthew D

I hope that it stays the same weekend personally because it would clip us from getting to attend because of graduation also... I really hate starting so early in the year at times...

Matthew D

Chris have any of the teams from Alabama contacted you about mirroring this tournament?

Matthew D

When Adam Pinson was on the show, he phoned his coach from Bevill State, Bobo

Matthew D

That would be nice if we can do it that way

Matthew D

Thanks Josh, I hope we will have a JV pool this time

Matthew D

The Kate Duncan Smith DAR High School Quizbowl Team would like to invite you to the 2nd annual "DAR Invitational" to be held on August 22, 2009. We will begin registration at 8:00 a.m. at DAR High School and begin play at 9 am. But, if all teams are present before 9 a.m., we will begin pla...

Matthew D

Mike.. what is your judge doing?
I have had some success with repairing mine... I replaced two of the buttons with better ones earlier in the year... didn't do one of them right, so I need to redo it but the other is working great

Matthew D

I think my teams had the worst days that they have had in weeks on the Goldfish... just hope that they don't do this at the end of the month..

Matthew D

Phil
Are you still thinking about the 4 pm start time on Friday? or going earlier?

Matthew D

well.. I think for my team it would be the midwest championship title but we have talked about it during practice... also the price thing did come up but I guess we can bring it back up again and see

Matthew D

Hey Phil, how many teams do you have so far?
