I'm a free agent for this. Don't expect me to get anything pre-2000, but I should be solid at the newer stuff.

This should be played at NSC!!! If it gets run at HSNCT in an abridged form, I'd be willing to have the same abridged form mirrored at NSC, provided that it doesn't deplete the field of potential players to the point where running the full set later would become infeasible. You could also, perhaps,...

I will gladly play this and get like 5 questions

Just a reminder to please register for Nationals ASAP. I know there are a lot of teams out there that have accepted bids, but we need you to actually sign up so we can craft schedules and brackets. Can we get a list of teams who have registered at this point? Would be great to make sure our registr...

Any chance the Playoff stats from the Michigan site will get posted soon?

Barrington Station B defeated Barrington Station A in a thrilling final to win this tournament. Team Berning Eagles defeated St. Raymond A for 3rd place.

More detailed stats to come when I find time- I'm currently buried under exams and projects, but they should be up in the next few days.

Adam Sperber and I will be conducting a joint remembering of guys for this set. We don't know much about baseball.

I had a blast playing this set. It had some of the polish problems listed above, but it also had a ton of questions on exciting material and felt more fun and fresh than the 2 CO History events I've played. Keep up the good work!

1. Ultra Light Beams

Northwestern would definitely be interested in an April 1 tournament and possibly in an April 15 one.

NAQT is pleased to announce that Stephen Eltinge and Jacob Reed will be serving as guest editors of NAQT’s 2017 Division I Sectional Championship Tournament set. ... In exchange for their services, Yale University will receive two editorial autobids to the Division I ICT. Unlike hosting autobids, t...

My teammmates cannot actually come to this, so Northwestern is dropping from the field and I'm a free agent now. Send me an e-mail/PM/Facebook message if you would like to solicit my services for the main event!

For those wanting to join our Team Illinois scrimmage, stop by DKH Room 114 at 1:00. This document will help you grab lunch. However do not attempt to go to silver mine since they closed a bit less than a year ago (do go to cravings and get hot and spicy chicken or jakarta fried rice or masala fish...

ATCQ's new album gets my vote. It's a well-deserving choice, even if my AOTY was probably Lemonade.

Malibu and We Got it From Here...

I will be posting a list for this thread, probably over the weekend as well.

Northwestern Quizbowl is pleased to announce another edition of the annual Jr. Wildcat middle school tournament to be held on Saturday, March 4th, 2017. This tournament is restricted to students from grades 6-8. I, Dylan Minarik, will be directing the tournament again this year. Location: Jr. Wildca...

Coloring Book

Malibu

Blonde

Lemonade

Coloring Book 22, A Million Puberty 2 Teens of Denial- the toughest choice in this round imo Blonde Freetown Sound We Got It From Here... etc. Lemonade - another tough choice- I think Lemonade is just more consistently great, while TLOP has quite a few stinkers in addition to some of Kanye's best work

I will play this as long as it's run at a time I'm available for. Shoot me a message if you want to team up.

might have a vanity packet prepared by then, who knows

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday- the tournament ran quite well with only one packet-related hiccup along the way. Congrats to Chicago, Michigan, Illinois, and Kenyon on their trophy wins! A jacket was left behind in Kresge yesterday that I took home with me- send me a PM if you think it's ...

I'm playing this with Ike, at least until I neg too much and he sends me to the gulag. Hooray!

I will gladly continue to play and answer Pokemon/internet content questions as long as people are willing to write them!

I really like the new graphics! Sure they look a little more "cartoony" but I think that stuff actually ages better than an attempt at realism. I love Civ but probably won't be buying on release because I'm a poor college student. Definitely gonna be paying attention to reviews and buying ...

With just over 1 month to go before the tournament, our field is sitting nicely at 16 teams with a few schools possibly adding additional teams. Get those registrations in!

I don't see why I won't play CO again.

Don't expect me to get sick buzzes in large quantities, but I'm an ok enough surface generalist at this level that I'll get a decent amount of points. Looking for a fun group of people that can win a few games, especially if we've never teamed up before.

Mike McCauley has graduated, but from the conversations I've had with Adam Silverman, it looks like he's going to play things as long as school permits.

So Northwestern A for next year will be myself, Greg, Adam, and Max Rong.

I will gladly embarrass myself again at one of these!

I might be searching for a collaborator on a packet, too. Hit me up.

I'd play this if it isn't too inconvenient for me to get to a site!

This post is reserved for field updates. Our current cap is 24 teams , with a strong possibility of expansion if we can secure enough moderators.

Hello! I am pleased to announce the Great Lakes site of ACF Fall 2016 , to be held at Northwestern University on Saturday, 5 November 2016 . ACF Fall is the year's premier introductory-level collegiate quizbowl tournament, and we do hope that you join us at this event. This year's Great Lakes Mirror...

I generally thought the Jazz in this tournament was quite good, with the exception of the stride piano TU - the leadin made it very apparent to me that this is a style of jazz piano, so I was pretty much already out of options and took the plunge shortly after. Will have more in a few days, hopefully.

Do you have scoresheets/stats for the Michigan site?

This was a lot of fun, by the way - I think the 2 part related bonuses were executed pretty well and it made the event fit into a weekend of side-events much better.

I'm not an NAQT writer, but I'll add that I've only ever been treated wonderfully and respectfully by members and other higher-up when staffing their events, to the point that staffing -NCT's is one of the things I anticipate doing the most in the Spring.

This tournament rocked my socks. I'm already getting excited for Round 2 in 2018.

An update: The distribution is altered to reflect that this tournament is now tossups only since nobody likes trash bonuses anyways and it works better for where it's being played. All answerlines are claimed, so you better take those descriptions seriously. Tournament is about 26% complete, so we'...

Someone should sticky this - if only for the science component, but there's a lot of good life advice in here as well as it turns out. Ike I agree and have stickied this for now - I predict that it will eventually go in the "best of the best" forum but I'd like it to see a good amount of ...

It's marked as submitted in the team formation sheet, so I think we're fine, though I never got a confirmation.

I'm playing this at Michigan. Now's your chance to grab me as a teammate, assuming it gets run as at least doubles there.

we just gotta take out the defense node first and we'll be done in no time

Unfortunately, Ryan Rosenberg had to drop from our team due to not realizing the tournament was on Sunday.

If anybody is brave enough to join myself, Andrew Wang, and Morgan Venkus for this tournament, we'd love to have you. You know how to reach me.

EDIT: Victor Prieto has joined our party.

I'll play this again. Would like to play with some fun folks who know some stuff.

I am playing this and am searching for teammates. You may know me as one of the guys who won the original ACFNATIONALS.

As far as time, Sunday night is a no-go because of ACRONYM, so Saturday night is my top choice.

I'll play this, but don't expect me to get any questions or anything.
