what were the conversion stats for Ngugi and Ninja questions?

Can we see the conversion stats for the Jonas Brothers bonus in round 7? (it was the first bonus)

Can I see the conversion stats for the "Mexico" question in Round 5 and the Robinson question in round 1?

With the inundation of DC metro area players who should be in this poll, I'd like to vouch for some non-DC Metro Area players. Karan Gurazada is very strong in both history and science (his ILLIAC and Penn Bowl stats show he can scale up probably the best of any HS science player). He should be in y...

Going off of diet advice, I have seen that a breakfast with more fats and protein would last me longer in the morning than a sugary cereal breakfast. In addition, eat something like cheese or a snack with protein and fat in order to keep the energy much more long-lasting compared to carbs and sugars

This is one of the few posts I'm making here, so here goes: 1) Ameya was warned many times that his plan wasn't good, and we told him he shouldn't have run it on stolen questions. However, he decided to do it anyway. 2) In addition, Ameya has attempted to use another set written by a couple of middl...

Seeing as many Bay Area teams would like to play this set, as it is one of the few HSNCT qualifiers available in NorCal, it would feel just if there was another tournament run on this set which is run in the Bay Area.

I would recommend placing the box buzzer on a table and using your index finger to buzz. I have also noti...

On the note of incomplete pictures, Georgia teams are underranked in this post and will likely be in future posts. Some of the Georgia tournaments don't have their stats posted, others like http://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/5276/ have skewed PPB that includes bounceback making it impossible to i...

What criteria was used here? I see that Arjun Nageswaran has put up scores of 42.50, 4.38, 29.17, 19.51, 6.00, 66.67, and 18.42 PPG at tournaments this season. His two best performances were when he was playing on teams where he was essentially playing by himself. While the 66.67 at PACE NSC is (no...

I would also like to understand the nomination process. Understanding that Anthony Duan had nearly double the powers at HSNCT compared to any of the nominees, and considering that I was a lead scorer on our T-51 team, as well as considering my performance at USHB and NHBB in general, I feel as if th...

I hope that he gets promptly fired. I don't believe that he should be anywhere near children, and NAQT's continued allowance of Matt Bruce to be in their employment is a stain on NAQT in general. I hope this monster gets lost from all of quizbowl, as his leaving of the entire quizbowl community will...
