Re: 2019 HSNCT discussion

Re: 2019-20 NC Discussion

I agree with the points that Jonathan and Ewan have made. Another note about Guilford is that apparently Coach Smith is leaving, so this could also have a significant effect on the team's standing. Right now, it seems unlikely that they will host their annual Quaker Bowl in the fall. One thing that ...

Re: 2019-20 NC Discussion

Here are some notes that I have for this year as a recently graduated player of the state. Early College at Guilford has been the best team in the state for the last five years, but they suffer a huge blow this year with the graduation of Ridge and Derek. The only returning A-team member is rising s...

Re: 2018-19 NC discussion

With nationals season underway, I thought I would put out some predictions for nationals. I am only doing predictions for NAQT nationals (SSNCT and HSNCT), as there aren't many NC teams heading to NSC. Early College at Guilford Last ranking: 54th Description: ECG is led by two very strong players. R...

Re: Where are you going to college next year? (2019)

I'll be attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in the fall. They don't seem to have an active team. I don't plan to compete full-time, but I am hoping to expand quiz bowl into some of the high schools within the Wilmington area, as there is almost nothing in Eastern NC.

Re: CAST General Discussion

I played CAST at Tarheel Cup at UNC this past weekend. I would say it was well-written. Some of the bonuses contained obscure content or had answers that were too simple to be guessed, but other than that, I was fairly satisfied.

Re: 2018-19 NC discussion

Here are some predictions regarding the top teams in the state. 1. Early College at Guilford- The undisputed best team in the state for the last few years is also suffering one of the biggest losses, with the departure of Tejas and Sylvia. The loss of Tejas, who could score anywhere from 60 to 200 p...
