Re: What Got You Into Quiz Bowl

I got peer-pressured into it and since then I haven't looked back (thank you FH!)

MSQBRank 23-24

Hello! It’s been a while since we’ve done this, and admittedly we’ve been a bit behind all year. However, we’ve finally caught up… just in time for MSNCT 😅! Like previous years, our rankings are based off of statistics; our methodology is based off of and developed by Groger Ranks, to which much cre...

Re: Charter Oak Scholastic XII

Ooh, fun! Hard to say, there are many historically great powerhouses and contenders here, and many teams returning after the pandemic too, which goes to say anything can happen :) Don't underestimate any of the teams here, there'll for sure be a few surprises. It's only the beginning of the year, an...

Re: Thinking Cap Quiz Bowl

Did a few of these; can say that they're definitely not like traditional quiz bowl canon and have a lot more trivia questions (e.g. spelling)- though I'd say it was fun to do more so as team-building experience, that sort of "just-for-fun" exercise. At least that's how I saw it.

Re: 2023 MSNCT Predictions

Not exactly predictions, though some teams and players on them to definitely be on the lookout for. A lot of impressive new teams and old returning powerhouses! Here are some I believe will perform well at MSNCT: Chenery is not to be ignored as #1 on MSQBrank and as last year's runner-up, and since ...

Re: Anybody got strategies for tilting your opponents

Marching into the room as a team in perfect unison to the beat of a song. Have seen this (but have not done this), seemed quite difficult to accomplish. Very unnerving if done well.

Re: 2021-22 MS Postseason Poll

Looking into next year's rankings, there are teams that still will remain incredibly formidable next year if you look solely at stats from MSNCT this year. My favorite way of determining this is looking at the top-30ish teams at MSNCT, and scouring for players with high PPG below 8th grade that migh...

Re: 2022 MSNCT predictions.

I 100% agree with your assessment of Greenhill. Greenhill A and Middlesex A were both outstanding last year and they are the finals I (and maybe we?) anticipate this year. Westminster, Longfellow, Harvest Park, and Challenger-Strawberry Park are also very powerful teams and they should definitely be...
