Instead of sharing a link like hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/6771/ , you can share the short link qbst.at/6771 and it will redirect to the tournament page. It also suppo...

I also just recalled this page , which is great and I think should be done for every state. Thanks!

In high school, I played exclusively bad quizbowl under the oversight of MSHSAA, and our team was successful, winning state in 2003 and 2005 and taking second in 2004 within a margin of one tossup/bonus cycle.
