I am only considering tossups between the regs- and regs+ level of high school. Firstly, I notice every Mali Tossup at this difficulty tends to clue the Gbara legislature or the Catalan Atlas's depiction of Mansa Musa first or second line. If the tossup is feeling especially daring, it will clue the...

I made a high school player poll for Alabama. I will announce the results in roughly the next two weeks. Anyone can vote, but all players ranked must be from Alabama, and in high school or middle school. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ATWGnxo90Fc4cbtOHy9TRKB5Qd7a-I2Pdj44zulufPY/edit?usp=forms_home...

Is the lack of preference for Vermont intentional? Also is there a subject distribution for this set?

This event is going to be cancelled unfortunately as we cannot obtain an adequate number of teams.

The compromise solution released by ASCA and NAQT seems somewhat better in a way but kind of counterintuitive. Since players still have to congregate with each other in person for district events that's kind of a concern, even though they wouldn't have to play their competitors in person. Additional...

I am sorry for not mentioning this in the main post, I've edited it. It will be held over discord.

The James Clemens Quizbowl team is pleased to announce the Jets Academic Middle School Event (JAMSE). This tournament is run on SCOP B, a high school novice set, and it will take place on February 27th , starting at 8:30 AM CST. There are 10 guaranteed rounds, 8 of which will be in contention. Infor...

Our choices, given NAQT's refusal, were highly limited, and the volunteer staff of the ASCA board, made up almost entirely of active teachers, simply could not undertake writing the huge number of rounds needed to run the event ourselves, and frankly, lack the experience to write quality questions ...

Given how horrific the Academic Hallmarks questions are, there might as well not be a state championship at all.

What sets will the Alabama High School state championships be running on? I received word that NAQT will be abandoned in favor of another set provider, as an in-person championship would be preferable to an online one according to ASCA.

Aadit Juneja and I would like to invite you all to play a new packet sub history duos tournament POGCHAMP [Packetsub Online Games Covering History; Amazing Minds’ll play]. This will be a history league event held over discord for high schoolers, and games will be played from January 16th-February 19...

Good day, Eshan Pokhrel and I are hosting an IQBT Rookie Mirror for Middle Schoolers. While this tournament is targeted towards Alabama schools, but any school is allowed to compete. However, Alabama schools will be given preference on the waitlist. The tournament will be hosted online at Discord on...

How can coaches trust him to handle payments and funding when to this date he refuses to pay the fee for at least one of the tournaments he cheated at, EFT HS Online Discord Open? I've paid for EFT HS Online. I've literally sent you payment through Venmo. https://imgur.com/ykQkPwX he himself has be...

Can a player from middle school play up for this tournament if they play with the school they are registered for next year?

I don’t know what to say other than that this is a good idea.

Damn this was really helpful. The UI was way more friendly and it was nice to have everything in one place.

When I buzzed on The Augustus II the Strong tossup I said "August the Strong" since his regnal name in Poland was August. It wasn't accepted because it wasn't listed in the answer line. I protested, but we won the match anyway, so it wasn't considered. Shouldn't August be a valid answer?

Hello, I will be having the regional bee in about 5 days for junior varsity. I previously believed it would be easy as I am relatively good at history, but there just so happens to be possibly the best history player in the state playing JV (who I thought was playing Varsity). What books should I cr...
