Regarding the 750-80 final game in the VA NAQT championship finals, it should be noted that TJ A only had 3 of their players, and that Princess Anne has a strong team that beat TJ B and MWGS A to get to the finals.
It would appear that anyone going to NAQT or PACE nationals will be playing for second place. If anyone beats TJA this year, it will be the upset of the decade, IMO. They will be the overwhelming favorite at Panasonic, as well. I expect the hat trick from them. But, who knows; strange things sometimes happen in this sport.

To somerandomguy:
The format was NAQT timed. 24 tossups with powers can make a big difference verus 20 without.
Our prelim ppg was 570.
Other stats at

To PRStoetzer:
Our starting A team has not last a match this year. However, teams listed as TJ A have lost, I think, 3 times: once to our B team (captained by current starter Dan Wright) in the final round at Gonzaga, twice to some top notch maryland teams (Blake and another that I don't remember) in the prelims of the Eleanor Roosevelt tournament, an it's ac-style event which I did not attend.

Cutter beat Benton in '03 390-320 in a format with 760 possible points. I remember scoring something like 730 in a format with 940. We were on the other side of a 520-90 drubbing by Texas at ACF fall.
As for low scores, I remember several 40-30 games in Arkansas state tournament format (760 max points). The worst performance I have ever witnessed by a team was 10 points in an entire tournament. I forget the team.

I did a test to determine if there was a relationship between quiz bowl success and MEAP (the Michigan high school standardized test) scores using data from the tournament that I directed at Michigan State. Although there were two major outliers, I found a significant relationship. As MEAP scores improved, so did quiz bowl success (operationalized as points per game and as points per bonus). If anybody is interested in this study and the data, I can send you a copy.

It seems his population of interest may have just been Michigan students for this study. It would have been much more difficult to use a national test and apply it to the whole since you would not have a representative sample of the nation. It was much easier for him to gather data on Michigan residents and quiz bowlers than it would have been to gather nationwide data. He could have used a national test, but he still would have probably only been able to collect data on Michigan residents. It would have proved very difficult to collect a nonbiased sample of test scores and quiz bowl results. This means that although he could have used a national test as a base of comparison, his conclusions would have still only applied to Michigan students. Although, I wouldn't expect the conclusions to differ from the nation, it is wholly possible and without a representative sample, you cannot be sure (to any extent where you can ever truly be sure in statistics). His study was a good one and it yielded the information on the population he was studying. He had no need to conduct a nationwide survey if he didn't have the desire or resources to look at the nation as a whole.DaGeneral wrote:I understand, but why not do something nationwide to further prove it?

Uh, AFAIK, this has more to do with a certain player on the Missouri team than with any nascent cross-border rivalry.DaGeneral wrote:Gotta love the interstate rivalry. Are there other cases of rival schools having an annual "border war" in quiz bowl?
