To hopefully put an end to this more or less frivolous discussion, I will point out that, having read the book, the novel spans exactly one waking day of Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, "from reveille to lights out." Therefore, I would say that the proper and only acceptable answer is "One ...

The Belarus question should have been a fairly easy power because it talked about "most of the fallout" from the Chernobyl accident falling in a certain country. It's fairly common knowledge that the fallout fell on Belarus. I can see how Ukraine could come to mind (Rob negged on it after ...

I want to chime in on the fusion question. I said fusion and the mod in my room awarded us 10 points. Three quick thoughts on the question: First, the "device" part of the question was far away from the identifying clues and was never reinforced. It shouldn't be the expectation of a questi...

West Coast Offense

Hah! That was my neg.

I negged on JP Morgan with Vanderbilt after the railroad clues.

So...I think this belongs in the National Tournaments thread because it used the NAQT HSNCT packets. moved to collegiate/open zone since it was an open event. --mgmt Anyway, I'm just interested to hear feedback from anyone involved with the Minnesota MASQUE tournament. I really enjoyed getting to he...

Hey. I've never played PACE, and was wondering if anyone could provide a sample set of questions so I could check out the format. I've heard a lot of great things about PACE questions and would like to see them in person.

I love the double-elim setup. Our state science bowl tournament uses it, and it's really the best thing ever.

There are three things I find defensible about NAC: 1-- The competition isn't as bad as many make it out to be. 2-- The format is, if nothing else, different. 3-- The moderators and Chip are OK guys. The questions really aren't too terrible when it gets right down to it, but it's clear that NAQT is ...

Matt. You don't like Chip. We get it. There's no need to take over every QU thread and turn it into a diatribe against Chip and his format. And there's no need to minimize the accomplishments of teams playing the NAC format. A lot of the big east coast teams may choose to skip Chip, but to say that ...

Hey all. I'm Andrew Hart from Chaska HS (Minnesota). Due to a coach having a baby, we decided not to go to NAQT this year and instead play the mirror tourney at the U of Minnesota later this month as sort of a last hurrah for our team (we are all seniors). Sounds like the tournament was a blast and ...

Sorry to threadjack, but I just got back from the DC regional tonight. I can announce some preliminary results. The final four was: St Joseph's (IN, #4 seed) vs. Knoxville West (TN, #10 seed, defeated #1 overall seed Brebeuf Jesuit to advance) Manheim Township (PA, #7 seed, defeated #2 overall seed ...

Hey all. Longtime reader, first-time poster. Just wondering if you guys had any favorite online quiz sites, IRC quiz rooms, or places to compete in something similar to quiz bowl online. Seems like most of the sites or IRC rooms I find ask way too many trivia questions and way too few significant kn...
