I felt that the Hanukkah tossup was way too easy with the lead-in. Anyone who went to Hebrew School at any point could first-line it. Given Judaism is still something of a minority religion in the US, this doesn't seem like a huge problem, aside from the fact that a good share of quiz bowlers are J...

Due to EFT, JHU will be moving our collegiate novice tournament to 10/12

I suppose I can't blame you if this is the only day you could reserve rooms, or if you did so before knowing that Maryland's EFT mirror would be the same day, but it would be reasonable to assume that this could lead to relatively few teams attending this tournament. Also, as I've noted for the las...

The tournament has ended, and I would like to congratulate Chicago A on winning the tournament, taking the first game against More Ravioli in an Advantaged Final. I would also like to acknowledge TJ A+, who had a strong performance, coming in third place. The field was extremely strong, so my applau...

We have expanded the field to 14 teams, today is the last day to register

After a grand total of 0 responses to the SHAWARMA II poll, we will not run that event.

Might we also be able to run SHAWARMA II on Sunday?

Probably not, getting staffers might be an issue, but if there's significant interest we'll consider it more.

Will there be side events (such as Guerrilla History, Eyes that Do Not See) at this tournament? I see people referencing "Guerrilla History at JHU", but I haven't seen anyone from Hopkins confirm this is happening. Once we get a better sense of the field, we will determine whether there is enough i...
