Brian and the others that have been bashing the curling question: What do you think is canonical with regards to curling? I'll state it again, and this is coming from a person who use to curl quite regularly and still curls occasionally. Unless the answer is 'curling', it is too hard for an America...

I do hope TRASH still collects and analyzes lame/save information. I know Anthony did it at least one year. I strongly recommend that any group running a trash event with lames in play does the same. The lame has been around for a decade now (thanks, Fred), and can be more than a gimmick, if record...

i.e. everyone not named Sorenson or Burger (or, apparently, Saunders) - but a full tossup on something so arcane is just a waste of most people's time. For the record: 1. I was beaten to it by a teammate. 2. I would agree it's too obscure for a tossup. The only real tossup you can ask on curling in...

It's worthwhile to note that the same team has won 5 of the 10 TRASHionals ever held, and has come in second at least one other time, possibly more. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is related to the fact that TRASH caters to this particular subset of its player base. Actually, it's 4 wins an...

One or two times per TRASH tournament?!? I hate hockey questions but still I expect them to come up more than other sports besides the big 3 and NASCAR, and about twice per academic tournament. If I'm bad at hockey knowledge it's my fault. Plus I mean it's Boston, you gotta be hockey-heavy. It's le...

I'm not claiming we were the greatest writers in the world. Considering MLK's eventual level of difficulty in those years, there's an excellent chance that the questions we wrote were simply too easy, and I suppose our choice of answers (since those were generally discarded along with the questions...

We finally have rooms! Yay! The initial meeting will take place at 8:45 AM in Mason Hall, Room 3437. This is the same building as last year. This is NOT the Modern Languages Building. We don't get tournaments there anymore for some reason. Parking info, as well as a map of where Mason Hall is: http:...

On the subject of using hit counts from music sites, be wary of using one site as a *sole* metric in determining popularity. QuizbowlPostmodernist gave numbers from last.fm which are very different from the hit counts at allmusic.com. I can't put the exact numbers up from allmusic because I would re...
