Excited to announce both our first ever online mirror on Discord and our first announced 2019-20 physical mirror at Virginia Tech!

Is there 0/0 non-US history between the medieval and post-Industrial Revolution periods? I assume there's something I'm missing here...

And of course, don't forget: If you are looking to mirror a regs+/nats- set before March, Prison Bowl XII is still available!

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

As a mostly geo/CE and history player, I'll make some shoutouts the top players in these categories I've played (I have no idea how to rank people in "other academic"). Jonathan Lau, Chinmay Murthy, and Karan Menon I would say are the best geo players I've played against on geo sets. Were Karan elig...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

If anyone wants a Regs+/Nats- tournament early in the season, Prison Bowl XII can be mirrored at the start of the 2019-20 season! Please email us for more information.

There are currently some games listed where one team has over 30 PPB or PPBB; how should we report any mistakes of this sort or other mistakes coming from stat entry?

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Jacob has been playing amazingly, as everyone has been saying, but, being Hunter's captain, I want to make sure Ian is also recognized among voters as well for how well he played. Ian, as generally a history specialist (with obviously good generalism) playing alongside Jacob with the associated shad...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

We play by shouting "buzz." Hunter generally doesn't set up buzzers in practice due to the amount of time it often takes to organize everyone into teams and the fact that, as you pointed out, it doesn't work as well with large groups. On another note, if your club becomes too big to play as two team...

8. West Egg Again, a strong team, but they do seem to have had some difficulties beating top teams, namely Hunter. The good news is that at HSNCT they'll play teams not named Hunter I haven't made my own rankings yet, but I just want to say that, perhaps due to the high prominence of Hunter and Hun...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

It's worth noting that at IS 181 (which is obviously not the best sample to use, but anyway), Hunter C got 9 tossups out of 20 on High Tech A and West Egg A, while Ian outscored Jacob, showing that he can scale really well. Analyzing my own young ones, I'd say that they have the benefit of being on ...

As seen in my updated signature, I'm headed to Yale! I'll probably play some Quiz Bowl while I'm there.

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Well yeah...that means you probably had a huge crash a few rounds later. Eating small amounts of sugar over time works a lot better than eating a huge amount at once. And I don't go too crazy with it, which might be why it works for me better than other people have said. Regarding whether it's susta...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

As usual, I have methods opposite to everyone else...but I might as well post about them. I usually consume an insane amount of sugar through candy and sweet coffee drinks, and I rarely run out of gas unless I'm recovering from a concussion, don't get enough sleep to begin with, or am playing the fi...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Any predictions for nationals, whether NHBB, HSNCT, or PACE? I'll post my thoughts a bit later, but I just wanted to start the conversation

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

New mirror with Chipola College on May 10th!

Additionally, due to issues in creating a discussion forum, please email us any comments about the set.

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Hunter is able to bring a second team.

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Regarding the set itself, I'm not going to say anything specific on the public forum for obvious reasons, and a private forum is being created. But as you have mentioned, there were some small mishaps, which we are now fixing prior to our next mirror. I'm not sure who the moderators in question were...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

A tournament with many players (if not the full lineups) from the regular A-teams of East Brunswick, Ridgewood, "West Egg", "Tenafly, Hunter, etc. is NOT a novice event. You might technically call such a thing a JV tournament or division depending on class eligibility, but it's not a novice divisio...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

I agree on this point strongly; a college difficulty pre-nats tournament seems like a bad idea for a new team. And from what I personally can do, Hunter has consciously tried not to have new teams' first experiences to be with Prison Bowl, for obvious reasons. I just wanted to not that two of the th...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Thank you so much for coming to Prison Bowl today! By all reports, the games were intense and fun; we hope you enjoyed the tournament and had a great time, and we loved having you at Hunter! Congratulations to High Tech, Team An Won, and Miami Valley for getting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively! High ...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Considering the very high rate of drops we have had so far, please don't be turned away by a full field, since you will likely be bumped off of the waitlist.

A call to all teams for moderators! A reminder that you receive a significant discount for doing so.

We wish to run a quality tournament and thus would like to be able to have less experienced mods "double up" with scorekeepers in their rooms to avoid delays.

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

36 teams now, so our second field cap has been reached. However, due to improved capacity calculations, we can now host a 40 team field. A waitlist will be created for these final four spots

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

33 teams now. 3 spots left! Please register soon if you want a spot

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Our first field cap will be at 28 teams, which we are almost at!

First, I'm glad that you enjoyed SCOP Novice at Hunter and found it a good experience in pyramidal quizbowl! If you like history, one thing you might to is play History Bowl ( https://www.historybowl.com/ ), which both Horace Greeley and White Plains do and is a good entry point into pyramidal quizb...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

We are over 75% done with the set heading into February break, which we've never pulled off before! Prison Bowl is going great, and we'd love more mirrors!

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

A reminder to register soon, as our field is rapidly filling!

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

UPDATE: Our set is to be completed by the beginning of March. The late February release time that we initially said was up for discussion was, upon discussion, decided against because many editors will be away over President's Week

How should I send you the Prison Bowl 2018 packets? I think I can get them into word document form without too many format issues

On the other hand, I win a substantial amount of buzzer races with box buzzers with both thumbs on it and feel less in control whenever I try to use my index finger. But honestly, the best thing is to try predicting the content of clues (I know this probably doesn't work as well for non-pyramidal qu...

Speaking for the Hunter team, we do not take the least offense to people making the (very obvious) statement that we play better on NAQT. After all, it's good to be recognized for being good. And I'm sure most other teams better at NAQT than other sets would agree with us that it's better to be reco...

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

On that note, Prison Bowl is being written at a record pace (certainly faster than any since Prison Bowl VII), so we may be able to begin mirroring in mid-to-late February! As noted before, please reply below and email hchsqubo@gmail.com to request a mirror.

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

The votes for Boston Latin, Barrington, and Allderdice should probably be discounted due to being outside the geographic limits of the poll.

EDIT: And the teams below them on the voters' ballots should probably get the additional points from moving up

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

The start date for mirrors can be flexible (if you wish to mirror us before our own tournament, that can be arranged); please contact us for details.

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Great tournament, everyone! Stats are up at http://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/5257/. Thank you all for being very cooperative with our schedule changes during the day and for showing up on time despite the weather!

For teams driving to SCOP, please be aware that a large storm is headed our way and plan accordingly! Please be safe.

Field closed at 32 teams.

Probably in a long while (I'd suggest late December/early January, when the first wave of tournaments has largely ended and the second wave beginning in late January has yet to start)

Absolute max field cap is 33. We are almost there! Field updated most recently 10/16/2018

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

Field updated again (10/13). The field cap is yet undetermined, but we are relatively close to it

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

I should say that Hunter still hasn't played with a full team yet on either NAQT or a housewrite (especially relevant to Columbia, where in addition to missing Asher, our science/rmp/ss player, I only played 5 tossups the whole morning). That being said, Ithaca was really good at Columbia, and I reg...

Field now up to date (10/8)

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

I should say that my post was merely an observation about the teams that were at MIT Fall, by no means a ranking of all teams in the region

Subotai the Valiant, Final Dog of War

I'm also intrigued by MIT Fall, played on IS-177 (partially since A sets like PAQT and FAcT, being much more favorable towards breadth over depth, are not very indicative of general success). At MIT Fall, Daniel from Barrington and Alex from Troy did extremely well as individuals, and Barrington, Le...
