Is this the first national tournament ever, at any level, to have a median bonus conversion above 15 (I compute 17.25)? That's really impressive on the part of both NAQT and all the participating teams.

Does anyone know where I might find individual stats that include playoffs?

Doesn't have to be a CHRZ post; HSNCT questions absolutely should be easier and we plan to make this year's bonuses easier than last year's.

NAQT's stats don't display that unless you click on your teams player links individually, which'll display their stats for all rounds.

About what difficulty was the MSNCT set?

I thought it was about right. Enough such that teams with deeper knowledge on the subjects in question could get some separation from the field consistently. I believe it was definitely tougher than MS-01, but maybe a touch below the A sets... when I look at stats from when Kealing and Longfellow played A sets this year, their BC was lower than what it was at MSNCT.

This was exactly our objective, so I'm glad to hear we hit the right target!
