I too thought the difficulty level fluctuated a lot. Overall, I thought that most of these questions were more difficult than the 07 and 06 state questions we had been practicing on. I am quite happy that we won a match, even if we did not go very far into the tournament. Congratulations to Radford,...

We are in the same situation as Cave Spring. We are planning on going to NAQT States 4/19/08 @ UVA. I thought there was some discussion about moving NAQT States to 4/12, but I am not sure if I am making that up. We will likely register if the weekend opens up for us.

Is anyone going to make predictions for Saturday's State tournament? I am excited to take my team, and I am hopeful that we have a respectable showing. The Byko Ratings say we're heavy underdogs, but I don't think many of the teams at the A state are well-connected to the greater quizbowl world (in ...

So, are the automatic qualification standards the same for 2008 NSC as they were for the 2007 NSC? If so, then I understand that Auburn (VA) can claim automatic qualification for one team by virtue of qualifying for the VHSL State Tournament. I am pretty excited about the prospect of attending. This...

I am not from UVA... but NAQT's website has the tournament listed as IS-70 for 2/23, but last we heard from Yangsta is that this was not finalized. I know that if I don't have a registration form by 2/8, I will probably be unable to get the trip together for my team. I am supposed to have all paper ...

NAQT.com lists the tournament as IS-74... which makes no sense, since that is the DACQ Weeknd of Quizbowl Sunday Tournament set.

While the quadratic example seems ugly, you are told that there is only one solution, so a really good math player will know that it is a perfect square trinomial. This can help you solve the problem quickly in a few different ways. The one root will be x=-b/2a, or you can divide everything by 2 and...

Coaches... So, out of curiosity mostly, for coaches of those schools that send 2-7 teams to each tournament. What level of supervision/coaching do you provide for multiple teams. Do you always have an adult that follows each team? If so, who serves in that capacity? (Are they assistant coaches, pare...

Auburn High School (Riner, VA) would definitely try to come... High Point is a shorter drive than Charlottesville for us. I don't think Jan 26 will be a popular SAT date for my kids, so I hopefully can get us there. February 2 is the deadline for VHSL Region Tournaments, so it is possible our region...

We're still at 6 teams, but could entertain many more!

I'll probably have a team or two there... It was an enjoyable experience last year. It was very well done, especially considering it was a first event. I would expect it to only be improved this year.

In Virginia, the state VHSL format allows 10 or 15 seconds past the end of the math questions (I believe), but the question is read twice so the second reading often gives a good bit of computation time. Neg 5's only apply on the first reading. Our local MACC competition which has a math team as wel...

As coach of a team from SW Virginia, I know that Auburn HS will certainly come to the VT tourney as opposed to travelling to NoVA. We might possibly bring two teams.

Note on the date for NAQT States : 4/21/07 is the date for the VHSL Sate Debate Tournament. This conflct kept Auburn from attending this year and would likely keep us out next year as well.

As a coach at a small school that is new to the invitational circuit, I am in full support of a small school division. Now, as far as scheduling goes, I hope that this tournament is not scheduled against the VHSL Debate Tournament.. (At least half of my team is heavily involved in debate)
