Re: Florida '08-'09
So yeah, South Fork? Duh duh dead. We graduated our three highest scorers, and left behind Raymond La. You can look his PPG up if you want. Give it a year, maybe 2. There is some potential to be nurtured, especially since the team that we tried to form as we left was composed of four freshman. As su...

Re: Prediction: Florida's Commissioner's Academic Challenge
I believe Pinellas (Pine-ellis as some say there) won Div. 1, with Polk coming in second. As for team Florida, I was unable to make the team practices on the two days prior to the competition due to graduation, and therefore ineligible. We could only send a junior from a different high school as Mar...

Re: Goldfish National Championship Tournament
How many teams are you capping the field at? 100? I still don't quite see how that would be logistically possible, at nearly 5000 match-ups. If I could be convinced that it will actually be workable, South Fork would be in for up to 3 teams.

Re: Goldfish National Championship Tournament
Having a "giveaway" buzz after a neg makes sense. Each time a team negs, they should be given a chance to answer at the end of the question. This answer, if correct, would be recorded. When this team matches up with a team that negged earlier than they did, the giveaway buzz counts and the...

Re: Prediction: Florida's Commissioner's Academic Challenge
South fork will be pretty much representing Martin County, with 3 of our normal team members on the CAC team all the time. This will be my first time at CAC, due to prior conflicts for the last two years. The format still has me scratching my head sometimes, as well as the absurd range in question d...

Re: Florida tournaments
Any news on the statistics/full results?
Ransom beat us (South Fork) in a pretty intense match to win the whole thing, with Eastside "C" (more about that later) and Pensacola playing off for third.

NAQT Subject Distribution
After playing a few of the NAQT sets that we had lying around (IS 50 ish) in order to practice for our state tournament, I was pretty concerned with the subject distribution. It seemed to be an incredible amount of geography, history, and general knowledge. I swear I've seen packets with 1 tossup fo...

Re: Florida tournaments
Yeah, a message on the UF quizbowl forum places the date at the 29th. After making 3 school board reservations now, it better not change again.
The South Fork Tournament will be canceled due to a lack of interest.

Re: 07-08 Midseason Poll
Florida here: I'm from the South Fork quiz bowl team. Once again, it seems like the caliber of Florida quizbowl teams falls behind that of the Chesapeake and North East region teams. If I recall, some of the better teams are Rickards, Pensacola, Taylor, Florida High, and Ransom Everglades. Our only ...

Re: Florida tournaments
Well, the problem with that is that some teams have already gone through the process of requesting date changes on forms and whatnot from their school boards for the 22nd. After hearing that it is "most certainly" going to be on that date, I would be very disappointed were it to change aga...

DATE CHANGE (03/22-29/03) at South Fork (Stuart, FL)
Edit: Due to the multiple spring break conflicts, we have moved the tournament up a week. At last, a QuizBowl tournament in South Florida! The tournament will be held on the 22rd and 23rd of March. There will be a guaranteed 7 or 8 rounds per team, depending on how many teams show up: 7 qualifying m...

Ok so, the update so far is that the tournament will on march 28th/ 29th in order to allow travel time for panhandle teams. I will be sending out an official announcment to the teams on the Rickards mailing list as well as Ransom Everglades. For the info Steve Frappier requested, I believe the State...

Thank you all for the help. Since the panhandle is really the heart of quizbowl in Florida, we would all be very willing to chose whatever date in late March/early April that fits your schedule the best. We've never received an invitation from Rickards, and would very much appreciate a copy of the c...

I can't tell whether that last comment is a good or a bad thing. If teams can make it, I think that March 22nd gives the best amount of time after UF Spring and Before April competitions. Now I need some advice. How do I go about notifying Florida teams? I will certainly advertise at the Montverde c...

South Florida Tournament ?
Since there are NO tournaments at this point in time in South Florida, South Fork High School is interested in running one after the state championship at UF sometime in april. Would there be enough interest?
It would be a one day event.
