30 for Longfellow on US history.

Longfellow then negs a science tossup, and Kealing picks it up. Time for a sports bonus.

20.

Current events tossup, which Kealing negs.

Longfellow earns 10, and the timer goes off.

The bonus is also CE, and Longfellow earns 20 as Tajin can't come up with the third part.

There has been a protest involving a tossup in the first half, so I have been detailed to the stat room to research and resolve it. (Therefore, there will be no liveblog of the second half.)
