I'm excited to return to Duke in August to start a Ph.D. in their Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology! I look forward to sticking around the Triangle / Lower Mid-Atlantic circuit and plan to play as much as my schedule allows.

After 14 mirrors, 2023 ARCADIA is officially clear for public discussion! Thank you to all of the teams who played, to all of the hosts and staff who mirrored our set, and to all of the writers and editors who made this possible.

Congratulations to "Farrellmagnetism" for winning today's tournament after a 1-game final against "Ganon Evans Fan Club!" Thanks again to everyone who played and staffed today— we hope you all enjoyed the set!

Registration is now closed for this mirror— I will try to have the logistics email sent to all teams and remaining free agents by the late afternoon tomorrow. If I don't have it ready by then, it will definitely go out by Saturday at noon Eastern Time at the latest.

We have reached our 6-team cap for next Sunday! Any interested teams who have not yet signed up may join our waitlist— if we get to 8 teams by Wednesday night, there is a chance that we may expand.

Oh, there wasn't an error at the site. I just noticed the typo when scrolling through the Dec. 9 version of the packets, and wasn't sure if it had been fixed since then. I just uploaded the version of the set that was played yesterday in the Packets subthread. Apologies for not getting that up earl...

Here is the version of the set that was played as recently as February 10, 2024.

Seeing as the poll results are tied, this tournament will be run on Sunday, February 25, given that several potential staff may be helping with a high school tournament at Duke the day before.

Somehow this thread got double-posted and I only just noticed–– can a mod please fz this?

For ARCADIAs past, the editing team has hosted an additional online open mirror for any teams whose regions do not have a local in-person mirror, or players who were otherwise unavailable to play the set in person. Pending sufficient interest, we are considering hosting one again this year in late F...

Also, please submit a name for your team in the spreadsheet and/or via email by midday on Friday, otherwise we will create one...

Given that this tournament costs more to attend than ACF Nationals, with few opportunities for discounts, I might suggest online alternatives to canceling? We'll see from the survey, but I don't expect this tournament - with a fee comparable to ICT , the other college national that doesn't require ...

I will be closing registration for this tournament one week from tomorrow. There is still room for more teams!
Also, please remember to email me to confirm your registration once you have finalized your team (thank you to those teams who have already done this).

Heiliger Dankgesang

There are now less than three full weeks until this tournament is scheduled to happen. Please remember to register your team if you intend to participate.

Heiliger Dankgesang

Just a reminder that we are still looking for hosts all along the East Coast, in the United Kingdom, and in other regions, too!

Heiliger Dankgesang

Time for a progress update: our set is currently 72% written, our editing pace is picking up, and we are about 5 weeks away from our playtest mirror. We are also still looking for hosts in many regions (see above)–– please fill out our mirror request form if you are interested!

2023 ARCADIA is now seeking mirror requests. This year, our set will be available for mirrors between December 2, 2023 and March 2, 2024 . Our mirror fee is $50 per team. As with last year, we are requiring hosts to use MODAQ to assist us in collecting tossup and bonus conversion data. If you would ...

I thoroughly enjoyed editing the classical music and opera questions for 2023 Chicago Open. Thank you to Henry, Alex, and Young for encouraging me to join this year’s production team and bringing me aboard, especially when I wasn’t feeling entirely confident at the outset since all of my prior writi...

A brief personnel update: Payton Schubel has stepped down from our editing team. This set’s British Literature is now being edited by Henry Goff. The original post has been updated to reflect this.

We are very excited to announce the third edition of ARCADIA (A Regs-minus Carolina and Duke Invitational of Academia), stylized as ARCADIIIA or ARCAD3A.

He did! Although I think the paper that he clued is from when Justin Wright was a grad student.

I really really enjoyed this year's Nats! With the outstanding set plus Duke's club-record-breaking performance, I don't think I could've imagined a better last tournament to play as an undergrad. I may have more to add to this list later when my mind is fresh, but for now, here are some memorable q...

Due to a lack of interest / insufficient number of registered teams, we are regretfully canceling this tournament. We apologize to the four teams who were already registered. We wish everyone a successful remainder of this year's quizbowl season, and we hope to see you in Durham another time.

Given that 2022 ARCADIA is now clear, I am in the process of finishing mirror fee collection so that I can pay everyone who helped produce our set.

Turns out I am more efficient than I thought I was going to be, and the logistics email has just been sent out.

The field is now closed at 9 teams. Teams who are currently shorthanded have been encouraged to contact the free agents, who will be assigned hopefully by the end of the day today.

Heiliger Dankgesang

As of now we currently have enough staff to host 8 teams (or 9, though a 9-team field is less optimal since it would guarantee fewer games per team). If one more team signs up, then the free agents can form a tenth team-- I will close the field once that happens or on Thursday morning, whichever com...

As we are now two weeks from the tournament and there are only four teams signed up, we are making this mirror an open mirror and chimera teams are now permitted. High schoolers are still encouraged to play Ohio State's mirror the next day if they are able.

Heiliger Dankgesang

I'd be open to at least freelancing some classical music questions. *Maybe* I can help edit that category too. I'm just not sure what my summer plans are looking like at the moment and therefore I'm not sure how much I could rationally commit to doing.

Heiliger Dankgesang

There are now 3 teams registered for this mirror, and just less than 3 weeks until it is supposed to happen. If we do not have at least six teams registered by next Sunday (January 29), then we will make this mirror an open mirror.

Any teams who were signed up to play this mirror are invited to play the nationwide online ARCADIA mirror on February 11.

Update: if you are/were unavailable for any of the regional mirrors of ARCADIA, registration is open for our non-regionally-restricted online mirror, to be held on February 11.
