Advanced stat reports have been emailed to you. SQBS stats are available at https://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/5811/

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? Tangentially, from NAQT Rule J.8.c.: Factual protests are only adjudicated if they affect...

After one drop, we are currently at 17 out of 18 teams.

If any school wishes to register a team (or if any school already registered wishes to add a team) we may be able to negotiate a discount.

We've reached our current field cap. Teams that sign up now will be placed on a waitlist. They will be added to the field in first-come first-serve order if a team drops out or if we expand the field size.

Email us at clarke [dot] quizbowl [at] gmail.com and we can provide one.

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...

Where will stats for this tournament be posted?

Live stats, pairings, and standings will be posted at https://clarkefall.github.io/ and final results will be posted on hsquizbowl.

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...

Clarke will bring a team and a buzzer, no mods/scorekeepers.

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. At the risk both of iconoclasm and derailing this thread, surely the simplest significant quality-of-life improvement to be made in quizbowl packets would b...

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. It sounds like you're taking the high-level category (i.e. Fine Arts) and then randomly choosing questions to put into the packet. While this will work de...

Users of qems2 will know that the tool provides the option of outputting a csv file. Using PacketBuilder, you can turn this csv file into a set of automatically randomized packets presented as beautiful LaTeX pdfs. https://i.imgur.com/T8BixQk.png Instructions Download the repository.

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...

I recently read the thread Women in Sets , in which David Reinstein took two sets and counted the number of times an answerline contained a woman. I was curious as to whether a script could perform a similar enumeration using the entire QuizDB database, which would have the added benefit of observin...
