BTW, the restriction of 2 kids per school is still in effect for now, but sign ups are currently open to everyone who is not in the Champions League already. In other words, this includes all OSPLites from earlier this year, including those in Rd. 5.

by **Scaled Flowerpiercer** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:05 pm

I will try to give this another go, though the 8pm games might be a bit too early for me, I could almost definitely do this if all/most my games are at the later times.

by **Willmune Sof Burrghtenstein** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 7:40 pm

I think I will join this.

by **gauss1181** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 1:11 am

Yay, another round of OSPL. I'm definitely up for this.

by **Redgrass1** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:01 pm

I want to play :D

by **Christ, I Know** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 11:39 pm

i'll sign up

by **salmon of wisdom** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:02 pm

I'm in. I need something to prevent me from doing homework.

by **Cubfan125** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:30 pm

Please sign me up.

by **Ian** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:03 pm

I'd like to play again.

by **David Riley** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:44 pm

Welcome to the boards, Ian!

by **Weighted Companion Cube** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:54 pm

Assuming my team does't win this round, I'd love to do this again, I still can only do the latest time slot though.

by **Golden-bellied Starfrontlet** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:43 pm

I'm tentatively in for this, but might have to drop based on when our musical is scheduled.

by **Thenerdyjew** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:00 pm

I would like to join :)

by **tintinnabulation** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:07 pm

Is there any way that there could be a session in the summer? I can't do it during the school year because of homework and such. I realize that the summer is probably really inconvenient/a break time for quizbowl, but I would definitely do OSPL if it was offered during the summer.

There are never breaks in quiz bowl. :twisted:

I would like to sign up for the 6th round.

Signatures are particularly useful when I otherwise have no way of knowing who you are.

OSPL 2012-2013 will start in early August after the final ACE camp. You can probably get in on Round 1, but look for an announcement in July. I have just a few things to do between now and then...

by **Francis the Talking France** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 7:40 pm

Eh, I go to Chapel Hill, not East Chapel Hill, though I must say that their quiz bowl team is a lot better than ours. You can keep the East Chapel Hill, NC part on there though. The zoning line is a couple of streets away from my house.

Myself and a few DCC kids do frequent skype quizbowl sessions over the summer. You'd be more that welcome to join.

by **blizzard** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:33 pm

I'll join, but I can only do 8:45 or later.

by **NKBoughner** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 9:17 am

Is the max cap on this 20? I'd like to join if there is any remaining space.

by **Christ, I Know** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 7:17 pm

No, it's 24.

by **The Predictable Consequences** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 7:57 pm

I'll sign up assuming I'm still eligible.

by **Off To See The Lizard** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 7:07 pm

I'd like to sign up for this :)

by **Standard-winged Nightjar** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 2:40 pm

One slot remains to play OSPL this year. Don't miss this last chance to get in on the wild wacky world of the Online Skype Practice League before we begin our highly-anticipated Champions League play in May!

by **Golden-bellied Starfrontlet** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 4:51 pm

I shouldn't have trouble making games for this because my musical's over, in case anybody's wondering.

by **Weighted Companion Cube** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 2:56 pm

Jimmy Haubert of DCC would like to claim the last spot.

by **Standard-winged Nightjar** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 12:56 am

Field now closed, though sign up below if you want to be on a waiting list. Expect teams to be announced Sunday and the usual intro email to go out then too.

For rankings purposes Kiev was missing several key players and thus should be considered "Kiev B+".

Hey everyone,
OSPL is postponed until tomorrow (ie thurs 4/19). Sorry about the inconvenience - Greg's heading to Madrid and Nick and I are doing nationals meetings tonight

by **Standard-winged Nightjar** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 11:16 pm

Scores & standings updated thru week 4. Sorry again about the odd night. Next week, we'll use an all history packet to prep for NHBB Nationals in the prelim game (finals will be the usual all-subject)

by **ProfessorIanDuncan** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:34 pm

Is there any way i could hear this packet despite the fact that i am not on a team in OSPL?

by **Francis the Talking France** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 8:51 pm

Try to find a team that needs a sub, or just get the packet after the games are played.
