The quizbowlpackets.com and collegiate.quizbowlpackets.com domains should be set up correctly now. It might take a day or two for the DNS changes to propagate to all servers.

Will there be sortable functionality with the TDB archive? It seems like right now you have to know exactly which packet set you're looking for at the outset in order to use the TDB archive properly.

Keep in mind that this is a long-term project. MOQBA has done a lot of great things, but they would probably be the first ones to say that they are nowhere near finished Most definitely.

Clearly quizbowlpackets.com needs to stick around as it's a fantastic one-stop resource for everyone at an easy-to-remember address.

Thank you once again for attending the 2012 NAQT Missouri Qualifier. It was a pleasure to host 32 teams for a day of great competition. I hope everyone enjoyed the tournament. Following the superplayoffs, Ladue A had a 3-0 superplayoff record and Savannah was 2-1, so the teams were set to play an ad...

Quick results: Ladue A went undefeated to win the tournament after Savannah conceded the advantaged final. Helias A took 3rd and North Kansas City A took 4th. Pilot Grove was the small school champion, finishing 9th overall out of 32 teams. Prelim stats are here . The rest of the stats should be up ...

With the functionality George describes, you should be able to get the playoff stats from the "combined" file if no games carry over. (The separate prelim file is still needed because pools changed). It's only when you have crossover playoffs that you have to have a separate playoffs file....

In high school (back in the dark ages when pyramidal tournaments were practically nonexistent in Missouri) I once answered a question on Minnesota when it mentioned Mankato as a city in the state.

Ultimately the goal of the Quizbowl Resource Center Database is to maintain a listing of something like this, but 1) there's nothing wrong with starting a project in the interim and 2) I don't want to speak for Jeffrey Hill when it comes to putting together that phase of the project. Yes, the datab...

With 19 teams, we split into pools of 10 and 9 and did a round robin within each pool. After that, the top 2 in each pool played a crossover playoff. After round 10 Liberty and Savannah were both undefeated going into their round 11 match. Given the time of day both teams preferred to shorten the be...

I kind of wish there were a website or some form of area where a big list of bracketing options exists with playoff options, just to make things a lot easier.

Another very low-priority suggestion: staffer discounts are very common, but are not a default option in the discounts field (unlike buzzer, travel, and laptop discounts) when creating a tournament listing.

It was generating a confirmation page with a blanked-out date field (thus producing the display bug diagnosed by Ashvin).

Yes - I think including the forum username of the person (or, once you implement multiple-ownership, people) who has editing privileges for a given tournament entry or question set entry ought to be displayed in some relatively inconspicuous location on the page. It is much more obvious to me how b...

ScoBo

It seems that creating a question set gives you ownership of the set, in the sense that only you are thereafter able to edit the set. This does not seem to be a good idea - I was the first person to post an ACF Fall mirror site on the database, and as such, I now have ownership of the 2011 ACF Fall...
