Hi all, the vast majority of you elected to play on September 15, so we will host the tournament on that date. Expect an announcement later tonight.

nycaqb1999

Hi all,

We are looking to mirror UAQ online over Discord at some point this late Summer/early Fall. Included are some dates for your consideration.

nycaqb1999

Is there an approximate start time planned for Sunday side events?

nycaqb1999

Similarly, putting "A willow of crystal/a poplar of water" in power for Paz has been almost universally criticized whenever it happens, but continues to occur. The most famous quote from a poet's most famous poem should indeed not be in power, as Justin says with Li Bai.

nycaqb1999

Connor, Michael, and I are looking for a fourth, so please let me know if you'd like to play with us!

nycaqb1999

Are the nominations ready, or are you holding for more submissions in categories you mentioned?

nycaqb1999

I think Victor was waiting for FST to become clear, and seeing as how the last mirror happened this weekend, it should be soon

nycaqb1999

Unfortunately, this tournament has been canceled due to lack of interest. We will work on finding a more suitable date next year.

nycaqb1999

Hi all, we are less than a week out from the tournament, but we have only one team signed up. If we have less than 4 teams signed up by Thursday night, we'll have to cancel. Please consider signing up for this tournament, it should be really good nats prep!

Current Field (Teams/Buzzers/Staffers)

Wilton (1/0/1)
Mather (1/2/1)

nycaqb1999

Will there be an online mirror of this set? We are strongly considering doing one. If it happens, it will certainly be after nats season is over. Announcement will be forthcoming once we decide, but for now expect late April or May. Since it seems like the online mirror of ILLIAC will likely be on ...

nycaqb1999

To help me with my ballot, I assembled a spreadsheet with Nats and ICT stats for a number of players, as well as Visual Arts stats for various other players. In case it helps others, you may find it here. If you would like to edit this spreadsheet, perhaps by adding other subject area stats, please...

nycaqb1999

Is it perhaps too late to ask for non-performance polls as well, such as most improved, nicest player, best captaining, etc? I seem to remember something like that happening last year, but that might not have been a ballot thing and just a simple google form instead. I think that’s the Players Choi...

nycaqb1999

Any plan to do this again this year?

nycaqb1999

Any idea when/where this might happen?

Hej! The Wesleyan University Quizbowl club is excited to announce that we are hosting the 2019 edition of the NAQT Connecticut State Championship on Saturday, May 11th, 2019, using the NAQT DII SCT-19 question set. NOTE: this tournament is strictly open only to schools located in the state of Connec...

Here are the results; thank you to Jack Lewis, Vishwa Shanmugam, Wonyoung Jang, Jakob Myers, Jaskaran Singh, and Catherine Qian for voting along with myself. 1. Maryland Terrapins, 60, all #1 votes, included on all ballots 2. Chicago Maroons, 54, all #2 votes, included on all ballots 3. Harvard Crim...

nycaqb1999

It has been requested by another player that I disallow voting for teams that will definitively not be sending teams to ICT. Like Wonyoung said this includes prominent finishers from the Preseason poll like UCLA and UT. Also, I have a form to make the sending in of ballots more efficient: https://go...

nycaqb1999

Wesleyan's ICT squad will most likely be the same as SCT. I know our placement at SCT was quite disappointing, but I can attribute this mostly to a lot of unforced errors ingame, which we will be working on eliminating in the coming months. I would urge voters to look at our prelim power rate, as we...

Hi all, Taking after Jack Lewis' DII Preseason Poll (http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21606), I've decided, with consultation from other quizbowlers, to have a DII Midseason Poll. You can check out Jack's post for the reasoning behind having DII polls in the first place, but I'll exp...

nycaqb1999

In the past 3 years of ICT, almost every college to play DI had a total student enrollment of over 10,000. The only small colleges to play DI these years were Amherst (2018, 2017) Kenyon (2017), and William and Mary (2016). The fact of the matter is that small colleges have issues with resources, ta...

nycaqb1999

I’m super sorry but Wesleyan double misunderstood the DII qualifications, we were not DII eligible for Fall, but are for Nats.

nycaqb1999

Can you update Wesleyan's registration to show that we are fielding a DII team? We were unsure of the definition when signing up.

nycaqb1999

I'd like to caution against hosting NASAT in Lexington again. Though I really enjoyed the town and thought the campus was lovely, the amount my teammates and I had to spend on transportation to/from KY was exorbitant, not even adding in the cost of transportation to/from the hotel to campus. The fac...

Is an online mirror being planned for this set?

nycaqb1999

Hi!

Can you please update the field to include Wesleyan? We are very much looking forward to November.

nycaqb1999

Ok so I am really a self-deprecating person but I guess I should be encouraging you to vote for me or something idk so here it goes: -It shouldn't count for a whole bunch, but I did get 2nd at IPNCT, but I feel like more importantly, I had the most powers out of anyone in prelims. -I've pretty consi...

nycaqb1999

Bard plans to host Bardbowl II in February and BEST II in May next year. I will have tentative dates after consulting with my successor.

nycaqb1999

Since this field is so tiny, and I'm sure all teams involved would like a chance to play each other, we will be amending the format above to playing a full round robin if the field doesn't expand beyond 12.

nycaqb1999

There were never any combined stats from Columbia Spring, but I took the liberty of compiling ppbs into a spreadsheet which I will send to you. However, the stats for Bard's final against Hunter are missing, so if someone from Columbia could forward me those that'd be super.

Current Field: (Teams/Buzzers/Mods)

Bard (1/1/Many)
Downingtown STEM (1/0/0)
Wilmington Charter (1/0/0)

Hej! Due to popular demand, Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) Manhattan will be hosting the Battle for the Eastern Seaboard in Totality (BEST) I on Saturday, May 19th, 2018, using the NAQT DII SCT-18 question set. We plan for this tournament to be very intimate and very challenging, so we are c...

Some people in the Massachusetts discussion thread are talking about potential Nats results for the teams in their region. I have absolutely no qualifications to lead a similar discussion about this region, but I was wondering what some of ya'll think.

nycaqb1999

Will this set be posted on the archive?

Bard is very good, based on my experiences with them at Columbia Spring and from watching them a few times before that; Max is a really, really good individual, and this team has been a great surprise in the field this year. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :aaa: :aaa: :a...

It's probably a bit early for this sort of thing, but which states do you think will put up strong NASAT teams? What are your predictions for who might win?

Thanks to everyone for a great tournament! North Babylon A took 1st, High Tech B took 2nd, and Island Trees came in 3rd. We can't wait to see you all next year!

nycaqb1999

Is there going to be a forum post regarding Columbia Spring?

nycaqb1999

EDIT: NO LONGER NECESSARY Due to a numerically unfortunate assortment of drops and additions, we are now down to 25 teams. As this number is very inconvenient, and we would much prefer either 24 or 26 (+2 house) teams, we will now be instituting standby registration. How this will work: any team tha...

We have reached our field cap of 28, and the cap has been raised to 30.

Our field is filling up quickly with only two weeks to go: we encourage teams to register soon! We will raise our field cap to 28 teams if there is sufficient interest, and our hard cap is at 36. Also, we've had some interest from NYU and Columbia students to help staff the tournament, and we ask th...

I'm reviving this thread because I am about to find myself with quite a bit of time on my hands as a senior spring semester, and I don't want to jump ship on this (also because I saw that there are two other threads exactly like this so I was reminded of this).

I don't see the Hunter SCOP tournament from October, and I believe there are some PPB errors from KPAQT that are currently being hammered out.

Hiya, I'm the captain of a relatively new team (almost a year), and we've been trying to break the barrier between good and great. We came into qb with natural proficiency in some areas (Geo, CE, Trash) and a decent working knowledge of others (History, Lit, FA). Over the last 6 months, we've devote...
