Jordan is being far too modest; this is really really good stuff and a high bar for another project to clear.

I've added the rest of the college tournaments on the database; there's now fairly complete coverage back to the 2011-12 season, and scattered tournaments before that. Team stats and player stats With the bulk of data scraping done, I'd like to begin the process of cleaning and resolving team and pl...

Thanks to some assistance from Maxwell Ye and Harry White, and some suggestions from Dylan Bowman, I've now been able to scrape stats from the remaining college tournaments on the database. I'll work on cleaning them up and publishing them, hopefully over the weekend.

I've put together an R package to scrape team and player stats from a stats report on the hsquizbowl.org tournament database. Installation and usage instructions are on the package GitHub page . This package was used to compile the college quizbowl statistics dataset I put together. If you have ques...

Inspired by the data analysis from the bonuses thread , I've scraped and compiled stats from the last five competition years of college quizbowl (including open tournaments listed as college tournaments on the DB). My hope is that this dataset enables both more research to better our understanding o...

What should we expect top-end and low-end PPBs to be like for two-part bonuses pitched at 66% and 33% conversion? I'd be worried you'd get a fair number of PPBs in the 19 range and a fair number < 5.

I was going to post saying that bonuses are too long, but Henry basically already did that as part of his thread here. Condensing bonuses is the easiest way to ensure matches move quickly.

This is a good post, and I hope people (including me!) take it to heart. I've also heard variations on "[the main quizbowl] Discord is terrible", "I enjoyed [online quizbowl socialization] much more when I don't look at mainqb", "oh I never read mainqb" from a variety o...

IAC's membership on the form committee has lapsed. The active form representatives still plan to work with IAC and alert them of relevant reports, as with other quizbowl organizations that are not part of the form committee.

The members of the Quizbowl Misconduct Reporting Form are pleased to announce the release of a new website for the form, containing an FAQ, a diagram of the report handling process, and summary statistics about past reports. You can access the site at qbmisconduct.com.

This thread is for general discussion of ARCADIA (i.e. anything not involving analysis of a single question), though I certainly imagine there will be references to specific questions in this thread.

I won't have time to produce it, but would be happy to see one happen again. I had heard some tentative interest from a team but I'm not sure what the status of that is.

For what it's worth, none of the stuff in that bonus was from class, but I think it could stand to be a bit more explicit without giving away the farm. It saddens me that people with serious knowledge couldn't get it. Hopefully people enjoyed some of the other business relevant content - it's hard ...

I buzzed on the "skateboarding" tossup on the clue about Mind the Gap ; Marianna and I watched the first 30 or so minutes of it but had to stop because we were getting motion-sick from the tracking shots in the film (we are both unusually sensitive to this, so don't worry about it if you w...

Thanks for playing and staffing yesterday! Players and staff are encouraged to join the Spring Novice discussion forum (it can be found under the Usergroups tab on your user control panel).
