In our defense, we were not aware of the confirmed dates of the other tournaments. My sources had not indicated that, and I apologize for any confusion.

Mr. Reinstein is absolutely right. Any significant change in Kansas is going to have to come from inside, like we had to do in Missouri. Outside pushing would only be counterproductive, for the most part; in Missouri, a lot of people derisively refer to tossup/bonus as "college format." It...

Regarding Copley's coach, I haven't always agreed, but she's done more to bring a quizbowl foundation to over 600 Ohio schools than anyone else in the state.

I don't know about anyone else, but this year seems to be going as many thought it would. If Hawken and Beachwood get into traveling more, they could perhaps break open the field a little bit. But they never do, and I doubt they ever will, especially Hawken. Still, sometimes you have to keep trying...

I've been promoting NAQT questions in Missouri high school play since 2005, and it's a hard sell at times. A lot of coaches are more conservative and don't trust a newer format "because that's not how the state tournament does it." The argument I make against that is that the Missouri stat...

The part of this I can confirm is that the #1 seed, James Island, was eliminated by a really low seed, from East High School somewhere in Pennsylvania, I believe.

Illinois rules limit teams to 18 competition dates per year, though the IHSA Tournament does not count towards those dates.
