Re: Should quizbowl reform the three-part bonus?

Our high school league (IHSA) used bouncebacks and I fully believe them to be superior. Besides the continuous engagement argument already mentioned, I think they also actually help less experienced players have more fun playing. At least from my experience with my high school team, one of the large...

Re: Tournament Database Search by Team

hsquizbowl tournament links seem to be broken (specifically, I think there's a missing slash between hsquizbowl.org and db in the links directed; otherwise they work, so it's only a minor inconvenience) Thanks for the great tool! EDIT: apologies - it seems that it's a redirect issue on hsquizbowl.or...

Re: ACF Fall 2019 Specific Question Discussion and Errata

I seem to recall the sonata giveaway being exceptionally confusing, though perhaps I just didn't parse it correctly.

Re: Specific Question Discussion Thread

Some nitpicks: Titledropping "I Cultivate a White Rose" in power for Marti seems quite generous. I recognized that the "mourning the dead" bonus part was talking about Death and the King's Horseman, but I had no clue what the question was trying to get me to say. Mourning is very...

Re: NAQT, Outreach, and Social Media

was told to crosspost this from discord: Pretty much agree with the things posted above in this thread about SSNCT. Focusing on a couple teams’ stories would have been much better than talking to so many teams, I feel. Things I think would be cool (utterly without consideration of feasibility): Don’...

Re: 2019 Masonic/Reinstein Set Discussion

I obviously didn't get to play State, but what was the intended difficulty? Styron, Primo Levi, Innisfree, The Lamb, Comedy of Errors all seem reasonable stretches at HS Nationals difficulty, but are all probably stretching too far for regs+. Rebecca, Lovelace, and Mamet seem fine to me. I don't thi...

Re: 2019 Masonic/Reinstein Set Discussion

For what it's worth, if I recall correctly, we 10ed the Saarinen bonus and picked up both dance and Matisse on the bounceback. Our FA player wasn't there though and my architecture coverage is very shaky. Overall I thought the set was quite decent and actually noticeably better than previous years. ...
