Re: 2018 HSNCT discussion
Can I see the text for the tossup on Livy, and the conversion stats for the tossup on "pigeonhole principle"?

Re: International Expansion of Quizbowl
There are also a bunch of DOD sponsored high schools all over Korea, Japan, Okinawa, and Guam. I'm not sure if they have anything that resembles QB. I began my quizbowl career from a DOD middle school on Guam. The island has a surprisingly active "Academic Challenge Bowl" circuit at both ...

Re: High School Player Poll
A lot of the discussion I've seen so far has been excessively focused on both specialists and ppg/power rates. About the latter, I would echo others in saying that nats placement is by far the most effective means of comparing players. This is most evident at PACE, where powers are relatively few in...

Re: Nationals Discussion
Thanks Fred for doing some research and starting this thread! I mostly agree with everything that has been said above. DC is definitely one of the most robust and competitive quizbowl regions in the nation this year, and I'd honestly expect at least half of the top ten teams on this list to place in...

Re: Virginia NASAT 2018?
I have preexisting travel plans over Easter weekend that may or may not change before the 31st. Given that NAQT States takes place when much of Virginia is on spring break, I imagine there might be other interested players who have similar potential conflicts. Will there be another way to get consid...

Re: All-World Predictions
Interesting to note that over the past three years, a large majority the top 40 teams in the pre-nats rankings have had players among the 40 recognized to the all-world list. 27 of the top 40 teams were represented in the all-worlds in 2014-2015, followed by 31 and 32 in the years since then. The or...

Re: General Discussion GSAC XXV
Really enjoyed this set when my team played it at Main Site. The questions were definitely a little more difficult than I expected after having read previous GSAC packets, especially with regard to bonuses and power-marking. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, although I observed many instances whe...
