From what I understand he started going for the neg prize in the second half of the match, and would buzz in after about 3-4 words on every question. Ask Jerry, I think he was playing in that round.

Reading 8, 9, even 10 line tossups was a bit wearing on the reader's end. I really thought a good number of them could've taken off the first 2-3 lines and would have been just as pyramidal. Difficulty was a bit variable, but generally just under what I would say ACF Regs difficulty would be. Overa...

I wonder if he set some kind of record for most negs in a game while still trying to get answers.

Zip Zap Rap Pants

In no way will Darren be there, the only tournaments he may be able to make this semester AFAIK are Marvin Lee Aday and the MUT mirror at VCU (if non-undergrads are allowed there).

So yeah Mehdi let me know if the deadline is extended.

Those rankings at this point are highly variable, although I think that is an interesting way to look at it. In Missouri there's a JV tournament that uses the basic rule "freshmen, sophomores, and juniors can play as long as they have not played a significant amount of varsity competition.&quo...
