Pardon me for being sarcastic, but you're holding your tournament on a Monday?

EDIT: I just noticed that the title date and date listed are different...

BobGHHS

Joe will tell you, Tipp is definitely in re-build mode... The teams to watch in Ohio this year are: The Real Deal Garfield Heights Walnut Hills Fisher Catholic Copley Wouldn't Be a Surprise to See Them Win It All Miami Valley Columbus Academy Firestone Gilmour Academy North Olmsted I know there are ...

BobGHHS

Craig, Joe said he registered last night with you, so is the total going to be 5, or did you pick up any more this past week?

BobGHHS

As Joe said, we're bringing two teams... DCC guys, will you be there? I know you had planned on coming, but with the info going out so late, I didn't know if you had filled your schedule with another tournament or not... I know Copley will not be there, at least from what Joulia told Joe, so it coul...

BobGHHS

Is Barker the one I should email to register a team?

BobGHHS

Any Ohio teams would be out, February 23 is the Copley Invitational, the biggest tournament in Ohio... and the last 4 state champs have won this tournament, so I doubt anyone wants to miss (even though I hate OAC)

BobGHHS

Wayne State?

BobGHHS

They're kind of a mystery team because even though they return Doug, and load up their A team from their not-so-terrible B team from last year, who knows how they will gel. I would expect an above-average team, but only Joe knows whether they will compete on a larger stage and be successful.

BobGHHS

I'm pretty sure near the middle of last year I got a mailing from them saying everything was on sale, they were closing shop. I could be mistaken, but I'm almost sure it was Champions Quiz Prep.

BobGHHS

If we can still get in there, I think the group might be closed down to new members, since its not used anymore...

Basically, it was the same situation for the Ohio contract a few years back.

BobGHHS

This is not to knock the Ohio team the were a good, and it all did turn out ok in the end, but I think there needs to be some penalty for just the sort of thing that happened and not for the team that was rooked. You're right, and that was the point I was trying to make... whether the rule is a bad...

BobGHHS

I really don't think that it would've helped Ohio to have California answer that question, but that's just speculation. No, I'm saying it helped us more that you got the replacement question right. If they would have gotten that question, they would have been up by 17 going into the last round inst...

BobGHHS

It happened in our semifinal room -- this was the question where Papa hit Kipp... I forget what the question was, but it was some ordering question and California rung in... Kipp shouted out 3421 or something like that before California was even recognized. Now according to the rules, California sho...

BobGHHS

Incidentally, was Illinois the only team that took 18 hours to get home?

WHAT HAPPENED??? o_O

BobGHHS

Although I still haven't figured out how we (Kentucky) managed to suck so badly in the finals, I wish to congratulate everyone who thrash our pathetic, floundering selves. Props, particularly to Illinois. To answer someone's question, I don't remember who's, we got in late on Friday and did not get...

BobGHHS

Some observations: (1) The trip was awesome, the format was whack. As much as I, or anyone else want to diss the format, the trip to the Disney Parks, and all the other goodies that came with the tournament were definitely worth it. If we only had a few more days to visit. (2) Nobody told us we were...

BobGHHS

Ohio 176
Montana 169
Alabama 156
Mississippi 117

Now that I've gotten the shock of my life from the insanity that is PAC format... hopefully we can put up higher points in the semis... off to Disney if the thunderstorm rolls out finally.

BobGHHS

Are we supposed to dress up for the rules meeting/luncheon?... I've seen teams in suits and team shirts, meanwhile we're scrubbing it up in t-shirts and shorts...

BobGHHS

Thanks Hardeecoach... where is the desk I need to go to, to register?

BobGHHS

We're here, I forgot byko was coming.... we're resting up for our matchup with the crazy PAC format.

We got here too late to register though, so apparently I have to get up in the morning and do it then.

BobGHHS

"Write a god-awful Match Game bonus" I could be wrong, and maybe Barker can weigh in on this, but I could swear that there was a Match Game bonus sometime at the ABD tournament in the last couple years... don't remember it or how it worked, but I could swear there was one... I know for su...

BobGHHS

Perhaps you can allow B teams if the school brings a floating staffer I think this is an excellent idea... I think if schools are going to bring more than 1 team, they should have to bring a staff member, who would stay at the hotel with them, and not on NAQT's dime. It wouldn't solve the question ...

BobGHHS

We definitely could not do February. There is just about a tournament every weekend in Ohio in February.

BobGHHS

I just got a phone call from a friend of mine to tell me MW beat MLK in the finals by a large margin, something like 350 points.

Other than that, no other results really.

BobGHHS

Thanks for the faith in us... although Stuy beat the crap out of us at HSNCT... so I dunno.

BobGHHS

If this was posted earlier in this thread, I apologize, because I didn't feel like rifling through them all... What was the protest about in the Dorman-State College match that required pretty much all the head honchos from NAQT to go into the side room to figure out? -- obviously SC came out on top...

BobGHHS

We didn't intentionally lose to Stuy A in the first round, but after that we rattled off 6 in a row to qualify for the playoffs at 6-1 already... (we would later lose 3 in a row)... In those 6 in a row, we beat Dorman A and Shadyside both... so it really didn't give us much of an easier schedule aft...

BobGHHS

Ohio Teams in the Playoffs: Garfield Heights (6-4) Walnut Hills (7-3) Columbus Academy (7-3) and possibly Loveland, if they won their last match I think. We lost to: Stuy A, New Trier, Troy and Cave Spring We beat: Norcross, Loveland, Rosemount, Brookings, Dorman A and Shadyside Academy I haven't se...

BobGHHS

The stats thru r6 that were posted had MW #1, RM #2 and MLK #3, all at 4-0 (each already had 2 of their 4 byes)... We're 5-2, having beaten Dorman A and then getting our butts handed to us by New Trier, who powered like 8 or 9 questions on us... For those of you playing mirrors later in June, the qu...

BobGHHS

Chris Ray, are you here?

BobGHHS

$12.95 for 24 hours....

Good luck everyone, about to head down soon to scrimmage...

BobGHHS

Well, we came in a day early, arrived at about 8:30am Chicago time -- got to tour the city all day... will see everyone tomorrow... good luck to everybody on Saturday.

BobGHHS

Yes, ours was a semi-mirror of Raleigh Charter's... Eric let us use the question set and I also added 4 of my own packets to the mix. Yes Matt, we are a high school... but given that outside of the realm of the top 20 or so teams in Ohio, most teams would prefer pop culture things. Only a few of the...

BobGHHS

I think we're planning on hosting our trash tournament on October 6, btw.

BobGHHS

Jonathan,
You wouldn't get squat from Northeast Ohio on that weekend, mainly because there are two local tournaments going on that usually grab a good handful of teams.

If you did it the last weekend of September, you would get a better turnout, most likely including our team.

BobGHHS

Jonathan,
So am I to understand you will still be at OSU next year-- Just wondering because our only senior from our state championship team is headed there and he might be interested in playing.

BobGHHS

From the Ohio Academic Competition State Finals this week... Question: Blah-blah, name this Western state... Our Answer: Arkansas In the State Championship Match: Category: American Literature Question, fill in the blanks to complete the poetic line, it is also the title of the poem... "You're ...

Here are the results from the 21st annual OAC State competition. The regional champions made the draw this morning and here were the groups for the first five rounds... Red Division 1. Copley 2. Tipp City Tippecanoe 3. Toledo St. John's Jesuit 4. North Canton Hoover 5. Lancaster William V. Fisher Ca...

BobGHHS

We played against that kid earlier in the year, and he is really, really good... Couple that with the fact that I heard he's only 11... its just an amazing story...

We all know

allows anybody practically to play... but HSNCT is quite different than BeallBowl.

BobGHHS

We're flying in Thursday morning instead, so we'll have two days to peruse the city... plus the team said in the event they don't make the playoffs, they didn't want to play consolation rounds, so Sunday could be a possibility... although I would like to get back to watch the National Championship M...

BobGHHS

Each team played 5 rounds of round-robin power-matched play, in the same manner that NAQT pairs teams for the high school tournaments (cards and all)... At this point, teams were broken into top 16 and bottom 16 round-robin brackets of 4... Here were the seedings: Championship Bracket 1. Copley A (5...

BobGHHS

As I told you awhile ago Dr. Chuck, we plan on coming, but I need an invoice showing that we're bringing two buzzer sets and that we were registered early.

Thanks
Bob

BobGHHS

A couple other former quizbowlers in that group:

Christine Kennedy from Fisher Catholic, Ohio's OAC and Small-school NAQT State Champions in 2006.

Pete Troyan -- Formerly of DCC.

BobGHHS

In all fairness, Hafner is also nicknamed Donkey.

Being from Cleveland, I can clarify this...

Hafner is nicknamed "PRONK" because it means Part PRoject, Part dONKey... that is the only reference to Donkey. Never do they call him Donkey here.

BobGHHS

David, as I said on the other board, great tournament. We got to match up against some of the best teams around (minus two players, but still with our best two)....

Congrats to Walnut Hills for beating Tipp in the finals, and congrats to Dunbar A and B for being semifinalists.

BobGHHS

Tom,
Go on my Ohio forum and read Greg's post about the whole day, you'll be astonished at the lack of organization. I almost got to see Korosa flip her lid.

BobGHHS

Here are the results from the Great Lakes Regional Academic Championship at Case Western Reserve University. The field consisted of 4 round-robin brackets of 8...and as far as I can remember, this is the first time no out-of-state teams came, and for their sake, I'm glad they didn't. Prelim Groups E...

BobGHHS

ETC, I'm pretty sure our team is planning on coming, although when you responded to my wildcard request, you said we had already qualified...

BobGHHS

Unfortunately, that is the weekend of the Ohio Academic Competition (OAC) State Tournament, and nobody will know if they have qualified until the weekend before... so you probably will pull few to no teams from Ohio. Sorry Kirk.

BobGHHS

I think that is like B.A.P.S.... ewww

I picked this one up in the bargain bin at borders for like $1.50:

"And as for Hercules, I want him taken alive. He'll pay dearly for the trouble he's caused me."
