During this event, one woman told another that “I just hope I get to be a mom” after changing out her heels for sneakers. One video of this event depicted a woman carrying a towel wrapped around an onion. A quarter was allegedly left as payment for stolen mail during this event. The first confirmed...

Yes, we noticed a fair number of packetization issues while running the main site. We've attempted to fix them (including that especially egregious example) for future mirrors. Here's the tossup: Don DeLillo’s Point Omega begins and ends with a man doing this activity in an art gallery for 24 hours....

I'll touch on a few of the other issues you brought up. Looking over the list of questions in each packet, I don't get the sense that the early packets were significantly richer in "extracanonical" content than later ones, but that could be because the term is pretty loosely defined and we...

Some updates: I will be consolidating the in-region and out-of-region groups on Wednesday, February 17, at 11:59 PM EST. The priorities will be as follows: in-region by date of registration, then out-of-region by date of registration. The first 24 teams will be officially registered, and the remaini...

Thanks Troy! We in Barrington definitely consider ourselves a New England school, just to be clear.

For what it's worth (and of course this is region specific), I'll see if I can reach out to High School Quiz Show RI to promote your Novice Tournament. A more robust RI circuit would benefit Mass too. As for the more general question, I think a chief difficulty in preserving programs is getting teac...

I'll be at Brown University next year! Playing, and maybe even pulling a tournament together. I'd like to second Nick's comment! Speaking for what I believe is the only active Rhode Island high school team (possibly the state's first ever?), Brown hosting a tournament would lend so much credibility...
