I'll be reading most of what I wrote for the hip hop tournament I was planning on finishing, which amounts to about 40 tossups on 2010s era hip hop. I'm going to read them in the main discord next Sunday, Jan 19 at 10 ET to anyone who wants to hear them. Please come and have some fun with us!

Sardorbek Eminov

After over a year of trying to write and finish this set with not much progress, I'm going to have to cancel it. It just is not worth all that time and energy right now for a set which I probably wouldn't even enjoy writing the rest of in the first place. Sorry to anyone who was really looking forwa...

I loved this set and thought that all the major categories were extremely well written while also being accessible. This is one of the better sets I've played/read at this level and I'd like to commend the editors for their great work. The only problem I did notice though was a problem that I think ...

Unless my moderator read the question incorrectly, the math question on "four" claimed that four was the degree of a quadratic.

Hi y'all. A little bit of an update here. Due to a variety of circumstances (junior year workload, stress, declining mental health, etc.) I'll be postponing the finish of this set indefinitely. I definitely bit off more than I could chew here and have realized it's not worth trying to finish in the...

Sardorbek Eminov

Well then the tournament would have three solo teams

Sardorbek Eminov · Re: Philly Fall Invitational (November 9 2019) Can we get a field update?

Can we get a field update?

Sardorbek Eminov

This sounds fantastic and I can’t wait to play it!

Sardorbek Eminov

Since no one has commented about how the tournament went, and I had voiced some strong opinions about the tournament beforehand, I think it is fair that I give my thoughts on the tournament after it has happened, I would like to first start off by saying that I had a tremendous time at NASAT this ye...

I’ll add two buzzers to our registration

An update on this set: it will have 6 packets. It will run at HSNCT on Friday night shortly after the conclusion of ACRONYM. Here is a matchmaking spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1145gkbO283GRhUw-2zvpQtltLotSG290LmelOL98HK4/edit?usp=sharing With 6 packets, I'm capping the field o...

Great to see a tournament with increased contemporary lit content. Highly looking forward to this!

Sardorbek Eminov

Tim Morrison is the best math player (sorry Samir and Naomi, you're a close second/third) and also the best film player. His generalist skills can't be doubted either, leading a Chicago B team to top-of-second bracket finishes at both nationals. I would like to ditto tim morrison stanning if you ha...

Sardorbek Eminov

Staying well-hydrated and well fed are the two most important things IMO. I always bring lots of water and snacks to munch on throughout the day to tournaments. Make sure not to over stuff yourself though, which can lead to fatigue. A good night's sleep is always helpful, I try to always go to bed b...

Sardorbek Eminov

I'm going to invade this thread that I have no position commenting in to say that you should rank Jakob very high because he is very good at quiz bowl!

(also vote for Geoffrey because that kid is a monster)

Sardorbek Eminov

Are there any updates on this such as confirmation it will be ready and what time at HSNCT you're hoping to read it (would personally prefer it not conflict with META but that's just me)? The set is... making progress let's just say that. I should be able to finish if I get my ass into gear after e...

I can also staff.

Sardorbek Eminov

As someone who's in the unique situation of being highly involved in the community, but also runs a club that has recently become active and has many members that have absolutely no idea that their is a wider quiz bowl community, I think my input here can be of some relevance. Becoming involved with...

We are currently full at 36 teams. Any additional teams will be added to the waitlist in order of registration.

Sardorbek Eminov

We have hit our initial field cap of 30. We are hoping to confirm enough staff to expand shortly and would love to get to 36; until then teams will go on the waitlist. Keep those registrations coming!

Sardorbek Eminov

Then it should've been phrased differently to avoid indicating an exhaustive list. I would like to apologize for the wording of my original post. I was not intending to make an exhaustive list of the “good” staffers at NASAT, but rather just listed moderators who I was able to recognize and did a g...

Sardorbek Eminov

As someone who will almost certainly be attending NASAT as a player, I can’t say I’m pleased with the decision of IQBT to choose Lexington over Champaign. First off, it’s just veritably false that UIUC would have a smaller local staffing pool than Lexington. The population of quizbowlers around Cham...

Sardorbek Eminov

Can we get some clarification on the set? IS-177 is a regular difficulty set, not a introductory level set like advertised. Is this a mistake or is this tournament truly using an introductory level set?

Sardorbek Eminov

Is there any chance you would consider opening the field if you get to 36 registrations?

Sardorbek Eminov

Just a note when ranking teams here- State College A will most likely be the B team from last years HSNCT led by Albert, while B will be what is left of the A team from last year. These things could change but from what has been communicated State College has no real intention to try and shuffle aro...

Could I also see the conversion stats for the Gatsby bonus?

Sardorbek Eminov

Could you post the conversion stats for the Black Panther Party tossup (sometime in lateish playoffs) as well as the bonus that had the Socialist Workers Party as a third part (round 13 iirc). Could you also post the stats for the most powered and the least powered tossups as well as most 30d and mo...

More worryingly, what's going to happen if Connor Mayers can only staff on Saturday as the sheet indicates, and Matt's the only one staffing on Sunday? I was not able to secure transportation to Penn's NASAT mirror on the 15th, so thankfully I am now available to staff both days. I have updated the...

After a great season for PA quiz bowl, it sadly graduated A LOT of talent. Not only are superstars like Alex and Vishwa, but a ton of super good players behind them graduate as well. Most of the players in PA’s top 10 are graduating, but some teams keep some scoring and others have good programs to ...

Sardorbek Eminov

Just a note about the set: I don’t think it’s quite as hard as you are making it out to be. DCC got 13 points per bounceback, while putting up a quite good 22 PPB

Sardorbek Eminov

This set is now done. Message myself or Michael if you are interested in hearing it this weekend at NASAT!

I’m pleased to announce untitled unedited., a Kendrick Lamar side event written by myself and Michael Powers.

As promised, here’s some predictions on most of the PA teams attending Nats. Please understand that these are just my thoughts and interpretations and I certainly don’t have a perfect knowledge of every team. HSNCT: Alagar Homeschool: The Alagars maintain an entire squad that made playoffs last year...

Sardorbek Eminov

I’ll have a post regarding my thoughts on all the PA teams attending Nats later today most likely

Sardorbek Eminov

I'm very guilty of of telling a teammate "oh that's what I thought it was" or "I should have gotten that earlier" after they answer a tossup.

What set will this tournament be using?
