Not a neg, but still kind of painful when it happened. At practice, one of our players answered Sudan, and got power on it. Then he said: "I knew it was Sudan because I knew it had to be in the Middle East." Mind you, his definition of Middle East is the normal definition, he just thought ...

I don't think that thumb strength is very relevant to quiz bowl. I'm a pianist, but that hasn't really helped me except with music questions. Knowledge is what really matters.

This is Mr. Ugly chiming in. At GPN, quiz bowl isn't taken very seriously, except for a few seniors, me, the sophomore, and the freshman. The focus is primarily on having a fun time and making sure that everyone gets to play. Money is usually limited, and we are always forced to not attend certain t...

Re: national tournament comparison

I've heard that NAQT never has repeats of the same information from previous nationals. For example, if the Temple of Artemis comes up in a question from previous years, it won't show up in the current year nationals. Is that true? I'm 99% sure that this is not the case, but I can't produce a speci...
