I'm in.

No question along the lines of "NAQT employs , , a mormon. Doesn't this mean you are racist, sexist, and wear funny undergarments?"
I'm disappointed.

Cherokee got 4th in AAAA.

Congrats on Beta. I have no clue about the strange animal known as Beta Club; never got around to joining and have never seen the questions... I'm guessing they're quite different from NAQT. Yes, Chatahoochee is an awesome team this year, and they're program looks strong for next year, too. As for t...

That explains it! So the moral of the story is that friendly dudes and a crazy fun short girl are just a ruse for a long-term poisoning. Oh well. Gee, thepowerofche, I sure do hope you're Bobby (Rob) or Casey, otherwise the joke isn't quite as funny. If it was. Anyway how was Beta? And my prediction...

Great tournament! Incredibly well-run. Thanks, Robin. Also, and though it requires the message board cardinal sin of rambling AND commenting on other posts themselves, that's the most comprehensive set of high school statistics I've seen since PACE, and that was in a link. It was also good to see Da...

In the southeast, you can never rule out Dorman, Brookwood, and Walton. They always have strong teams. Seems that everytime we expect a "rebuilding year" out of them, they come up stronger than before. OK, here it is: the comparison post I've been holding back. Why is it that in the south...

I tought so, and that's why your post confused and scared me a little. Congrats on Savannah Country Day, though. Three of us had a massive schedule conflict so we couldn't attend. It's a shame: looks like we would have met each other and had a crazy match. Where did Etowah come from to get to the fi...

As a bit more than a casual observer, I can assure all who gives a rat's butt that Brookwood will, more than likely, NOT have a varsity A team made up of four females UNLESS GOD SENDS US SOME REAL WORKAHOLIC PLAYERS!. I am a believer in affirmative action and will guarantee a male player at least o...

Quite apparent indeed, but what's up with the double questions per tossup in CBI? certainly they are read and not wirtten tossups????

WALLYWORLD!!!!!!! Seriously, who doesn't love the old Wilson World- turned-Radisson? And I'm sorry, Mr. Huff, if I'm filling your thread with junk...

Well, GA (at least I'm pretty sure it ws GA) had a BIG stink when a certain unmentionable team recieved copies of tournement questions, brought them to the tournament, not knowing they were THE questions, and then used the questions BETWEEN ROUNDS. This may be the same incident Byko described (same ...

"Penultimate" can be clever; "antepenultimate" is just asinine.

OK, so I'm a lazy bum, but could someone please direct me to a place where I can decipher the ACF/CBI dichotomy? Thanks, folks.

What's always killed me around N.C. is having high school students serve as moderators. Hey, now, I've read at a few tournaments, granted with JV level questions or ones that I wrote or edited, and was perfectly fine. Once a coach commended me on handling his somewhat unruly team professionally... ...

(Oh and while we're on it: If you want to check out UGA's program first-hand, we're doing our annual Bulldog Brawl HS tournament on Jan. 21. What high school are you from?) Well, I'm afraid the Bulldog brawl falls on the same date as the Model Arab League at Marist and or UGA JanFest, so I have con...

How's Slade doing? I haven't heard from him since ACE camp two years ago. He was a phenom!

In any event, what exactly IS CBI? some lower-derivative form of quizbowl??

who doesn't love chip?

I asked around at Mercer and no one really seemed to know what quizbowl/academic team/college bowl even was. Of course these were some of the same people who didn't know there was an honors program :roll: the closest thing I heard was debate, and that's just a scary animal. from the quizdogs FAQs 5-...

All this said, the quality of a quizbowl program probably shouldn't be your main consideration in choosing a college....I mean, seriously, if you're at GT for anything other than academics, you're probably not here for the right reasons and you will very quickly hate your life. Yeah, I'm probably g...

Okay, so you've gotta be either Lantuch or Okon, or am I off by a year? Anyway, and no, this has nothing to do with Dorman, which happens to be the best tournament ever, but how's FSU treating you? Always was a fan of the Milton guys...

Steven

Whatever became of Cale Bonner, ruler of all things Lit?

That WAS JV. I thought that right after I posted.

We just called it "Chicago nationals" unitl everybody and his brother decided to host in Chicago. Heritage went in '04. did OK, close match with Copley, points leader after prelims. VERY well run, spaced out matches with genial readers. Fun stuff. Hope it continues...

Were you on the Dupont team we played last year (I think it was last year)? It was an AWESOME match midway through the playoffs. Sorry if you're the coach...

I assume their Division 1 team is much better if that's what you are considering. OK, and I might be on the wrong thread for this, but could you please explain the college bowl divisions? Thanks. Pretty much all that I know about CB is that it's like a more laid back, fun version of high school...

I'm pretty sure Heritage is going. I look forward to a freakinshly well-run tournament

- Steven Etheridge, Heritage High School, and fan of Huff since 2003!

BIG congrats to Dorman C! And all the top 4, but it must've felt great outplaying the B team...

Who did Dorman A play in the quarters and semis, just curious (our coach encouraged us after the round of 16... man that Coach Hauck can positively reinforce a disappointing loss!)

Well, I know very little about college bowl, but I wass just wondering,
what's the buzz (pardon the potential GT pun) about schools in GA, namely UGA, GA Tech, Emory, and Berry?

From our SCIENCE person at Brookwood's tourn this year:
"This failed 1915-"
BUZZ: Gallipoli

So it's not the craziest thing ever but it was the first question in the semis against WALTON.
