Results:

THEM, an ancient dinosaur team of Juliana Froggatt (leading scorer), Paul Lujan, Matt Bruce, and Scott McKuen was undefeated with a 10-0 record, with Stanford the leading mammalian team.

Full stats are here.

Just for future reference, since I don't read the board regularly, it's probably better to email me about that rather than (or in addition to, if you prefer) posting here.

Anyway, should be fixed now -- thanks for catching it.

And here they are.

Full stats are now available here.

The 2004 stats will require some work, but I think as long as you have total points scored (which you do) and total number of TUs and negs (which you do; they're in the Team Reports) you can calculate the bonus conversion. The other years are also nontrivial to extract information from, but it can b...

Hey Jerry, I've been working on updating the Berkeley QB page, and in the process of doing so, I notice that the results on the ACF page are still rather, uh, sparse. This makes me sad -- ACF has a long tournament history and it should be available in all of its glory. One tool I found absolutely in...

And here are the official results! First was the Chicago Open mirror. Four teams competed in a triple round robin, and Stanford B, led by Andrew, emerged on top with a perfect 9-0 record. After CO, we held the Lit singles. Due to limited buzzers, we had two seeding rounds of 40 questions each where ...

Yeah, my apologies for being way behind on this. A preliminary announcement is now here:

Hello everyone, Berkeley will be hosting BASQUE, its annual mirror of Chicago Open and assorted additional events, the weekend of August 4th. (Note that this is slightly negotiable -- I know Willie has expressed a preference for the 11th, so if you feel strongly one way or the other, let me know.) T...

Actually, buried in the forest of deep quotes and strawmen moderators with either perfect or no knowledge of Raman scattering, there is something interesting: Yes, that's a question that I cited above as a good example. The question was something like "If a blackbody radiates 100 watts at 100 k...

OK, full results post. Seven teams descended upon the lovely UC-Berkeley campus November 18 to play the 14th installment of WIT: Scientific Progress Goes Boink! The teams played a full round-robin, followed by breaking into playoff brackets of 4 and 3 in which another round robin was played. Chicago...

Ah, crap. I forgot to announce that at the tournament -- but yes, please no discussion of actual questions until tomorrow. Anyhow, slightly more detailed results: Chicago A 6-0 + 3-0 playoff upper bracket = 9-0, 1st place Stanford A 4-2 + 2-1 playoff upper bracket = 6-3, 2nd place Chicago B 3-3 + 1-...

BASQUE 2006 was played at UC Berkeley on July 29 and 30, with various numbers of people participating in Chicago Open, Science Monstrosity, history singles, and trash. In CO, Berkeley and Stanford finished the double round robin 7-1 and 6-2, respectively, setting up a final in which Berkeley defeate...

Helloooooooo, straw man! This is getting a little ridiculous. Just to see if I was still sane, I looked through the first packet from this year's TRASH regionals. Surprisingly, I did not locate a single tossup whose pyramidality I found lacking. Yes, there are some of the "his father was a ston...

Hi all, The TRASH Regionals West were held at UC-Berkeley on Sunday, November 13. After a bloody double-round-robin, Mission of Burma Shave (Berkeley and alums), Ray Luo Theater Company Amateur Erotica Players (UCLA), and Mountain Sheep of Grizzly Peak (USC) were all tied with a 6-4 record. By virtu...

Thanks for posting this, Dwight.

And yes, the bonus conversions are right. I mean, we racked up a couple of 600+ rounds against the baby seals.

That's an easy question to answer. Several of the D2 packets had to be combined with other packets in order to get 20 usable questions. When you do that, though, you create a situation where you have to burn 2 packets to get through 1 round, since you can't read that packet in all game rooms in a si...

First of all, let me point out that while Berkeley fielded three house teams, two were newbies playing in their first tournament, and the third was David Farris playing solo. (All three contributed packets.) So the implication that the veterans were shirking their duty so they could play is inaccura...

I would have no objection to ditching bonuses; they don't work all that well in the 2-player format and it would certainly ease the question-writing burden. As for singles -- I think that I prefer the 2-person team format. There just aren't that many people out there who are capable of playing SM by...

For what it's worth, I was all over seiches, but (as you might be able to guess) my familiarity with them is from a physics context. The Berkeley Waves book (Crawford) discusses them at some length.

Well, there was the Claremont alumni team, but they're all in the Berkeley area now. Otherwise, yes, it was all Berkeley and Berkeley alumni plus the one SM team.

Overall I was as happy as a clam with the tournament. If only all tournaments could be Science Monstrosity, I could be a superstar! I do have to complain about the Heine-Borel tossup in Round 4, though. Putting the exact definition of compactness in the first sentence and then having the answer be s...

BASQUE 2005 was successfully held July 2 on the lovely UC-Berkeley campus. Despite turnouts which might have inspired saner TDs to cancel the tournament, yours truly pressed on, hosting Chicago Open, Trash, and Science Monstrosity over the course of the day. In CO, "Intelligence fixed around to...

Hi all, I've posted a schedule for BASQUE on the club web page: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~quizbowl/tournaments/BASQUE2005/BASQUE2005.html All meetings will be held in Barrows 185. If you're coming for Chicago Open, please arrive by 9:30 AM. If you're playing in TRASH, please be present by 2:00 PM...

Hello all, Sorry for the lateness of this update. At the moment, there are about 4 teams' worth of players interested in both Chicago Open and TRASH, with about that many, or maybe a couple more, in Science Monstrosity. The current roster is listed on the web page at http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~qui...

Hi all, Berkeley Quiz Bowl would like to announce BASQUE 2005, our annual mirror of Chicago Open and associated events, to be held July 2-3. For more information, and the current status of the tournament, see the BASQUE web page here: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~quizbowl/tournaments/BASQUE2005/BASQ...

There was no final. Our team wasn't particularly interested in playing one, and Parag claimed to not have a packet on hand, so we just decided to skip it.

Results from Berkeley (as copied from my Yahoo! post): Eight teams competed in the 2004 ACF Fall regional at Berkeley. The teams played a single round-robin, then were seeded into two playoff brackets where they played a double round-robin, for a total of 13 rounds. Stanford A (11-2) took home the t...

WIT XII: Leftwing Communist Jewish Homosexual Pornographers was held on the campus of UC-Berkeley on Saturday, October 16. The 14 teams present were divided into two arbitrary brackets, played a round-robin, and then were redivided into two playoff brackets, where they played another round-robin. Ch...

UC-Berkeley is happy to announce that we will be hosting the Western region of the 2004 ACF Fall tournament on October 30th. To register: Send mail to the tournament director, Paul Lujan, at plujan (at) socrates.berkeley.edu. Fees: $100 base fee $80 for each team beyond the first -$5 for each functi...
