How can you ensure that players don't have a way of communicating with one another about when to buzz in? We will request that they refrain.

What is the best procedure for determining if a team's answer should have been prompted rather than rejected, or if the clues leading up to a buzz unambiguously described an answer not listed in the answerline?

All the national-scope rule sets that I'm aware of say that's fine. (Some state-specific rule sets stipulate a minimum number of players required to play.) However, as tournament director, it's completely reasonable for you to say "you can't split up that much; it's hogging spots that other teams w...

Does the packetizer respect minimum/maximum category and subcategory quotas? Like Mike, I've struggled with creating a good packetizer algorithm, and a big stumbling block is in generating packets that satisfy every quota. No, it doesn't even read those columns. It doesn't read the columns where th...

Yep, Harris's tool will probably be more versatile and will output a more human-editable result that can be used in a variety of ways. My goal largely focused on being able to produce something reasonable in one shot and being able to look at pretty LaTeX pdfs.

I think it would be an interesting exercise for someone to do a top-down review of the quizbowl packet / scoresheet from a design perspective.

Am I missing the link to the tool? I scanned the post a few times and don't see it. Good catch, thank you. I added it to the main post just now.

The data certainly is not perfect. There are more than two mis-gendered tossups in the group you listed, such as Faulkner and books written by men. Also, some of the set data is off--it says the 2013 Scobol Solo used only one gendered pronoun, which is way off. It is possible that this is due to so...
