Rules?

Post by zwtipp »

Since we can't post questions in the rules thread...

For the negs, as long as it is right answer and wrong answer with no toerh context, is that okay?

If it's from an NAQT set that you played this semester, then don't talk about it, period.

Hooray, Question security.

The thing is... should we even be mentioning any 2005-06 NAQT sets until the end of the year? Unless NAQT gives us clearance, I don't think it's proper for us to even be discussing those questions. Technically, same thing holds with :chip: 's questions unless they are publicly available (like his QuizNet stuff).

You never know what sets NAQT could still use in certain parts of the country, so it is safe to say that until the entire 2006 set of invitational questions becomes cleared, we cannot really discuss them at all.

In-house written questions can be discussed when the TD's clear it (which means they know when other tournaments sharing questions with them are run).

Also, often it's the case that a certain question draws negs for an observable, systematic reason, so even a post in "wrong answer, right answer" format can give something away (and I'm not just hypothesizing about that, either.) So, basically, if you're not cleared to talk about it, don't.

PS: That stickied thread is for rules and rules only and is locked on purpose for that reason. This one will do to discuss them.
