IQBT's Undergraduate Championship set is available for high school mirrors. The difficulty of this set will be three dots per the College Quiz Bowl Calendar Difficulty Scale .

I have lost power after bad wind storms in the area. I have contingency plans in place, so it should not delay the tournament, but it is going to keep me from emailing out the schedule file for a couple of hours.

We are at 27 teams, with three invitations currently out as of today.

Today is the registration deadline for the remaining teams that initially qualified for this tournament.

AKKOLADE

The registration deadline is coming up on Monday, January 23 for our initially qualified teams. There are eight outstanding invitations to teams from that group. Not responding by that deadline will be an automatic decline of the invite.

Here are the tournament schedules we have planned for fields of 30 and 32 teams. 30 teams: We will start with three preliminary round robins of ten teams.

AKKOLADE

~~As a reminder, the deadline for registration is in eight days. Please register for this tournament using the form emailed to teams if you intend to accept your bid.~~

As announced below, the registration deadline has been moved to January 23.

To make things slightly easier on the proofreading front, I'm pushing back the first available date for this set a week to January 21.

Thanks to Ryan Rosenberg, advanced stats are now available for the main site of 2022 NASAT. They are available at https://2022nasat.streamlit.app/.

I'm setting the official registration deadline for the Undergraduate Championship as January 23, 2023. At that point, non-registrations will be treated as declines for invitations, and subsequent teams will be invited after that.

On the other hand, if we're doing individual stats, we should at least do them correctly.

I wanted to remind everyone that there is a Discord server for set discussion. A link was emailed to every team's contact that played; if you have played this but need a link, feel free to ask me for one via email.

There is still one protest outstanding that could affect placement in the top 20. There are no other outstanding protests.

AKKOLADE

All teams have played. There are a few protests outstanding, but those won't directly affect if a team makes the top 30, just final placement.

Ties will be broken by the number of points scored on the five extra bonuses.

Finalized standings will be announced by Monday.

Feedback's clear - this would be restricted to Big 10 schools only. Chicago was in the Big 10 until the 40s. Our athletic teams have been having an off year for a while now so we're not technically current members, but my understanding is that we're welcome back in as soon as we get our football te...

I don’t know much about Hahn but googling pretty quickly reveals that her outreach on social media is a big part of what makes her notable. Including information about this aspect of her career seems like it’s extremely fair game to me.

Two notes: 1. Sight-singing, or being able to reproduce pitches in the proper rhythm given a starting note, is a skill that musicians practice and learn to be able to do.

If note spelling clues require a sense of pitch to buzz on them - which seems fairly innate - should that be knowledge that is tested in a quiz bowl question, particularly a tossup?
