Re: Rewarding Different Levels of Knowledge
Most assuredly not. I don't think jerry's comment was made to discourage the use of familiar clues in question writing, but rather to emphasize the manner in which questions should come about. I would hope any person writing a question has actively and somewhat thoroughly researched their "answ...

Re: ACF Fall at UF (11-8-08)
We had a fair number of late drop-outs, so UGA will only be bringing four teams to this tournament.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: COTKU at UT-Chattanooga 10/18/08
I just want to say that I really enjoyed this tournament. Yes, the set was ridiculously hard, but the questions were also ridiculously well-written and edited (props to Minnesota). Yes, it took a while to get through a full round robin and a singles tournament, and yes, UTC might have been able to r...

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: EFT 3 at FSU (Saturday, October 4)
All in all, I thought that the set as a whole was both appropriate for its intended audience and extremely well-written, with the exception of a few repeats that I'm sure will be taken care of by the rest of the mirrors this upcoming weekend. On behalf of the UGA Quizbowl team, I would like to thank...

Walton and Dorman seem to be pretty much ruling the tourneys in the southeast thus far. I think at Brookwood they averaged around 50 points higher than the 3rd place team out of the prelimenaries and met each other in the finals. Other than that, I cannot say that I have seen any great teams, but th...

The first and foremost piece of advice that I can give you concerning starting a new team is to find a coach/sponser who is willing, enthusiastic and able to put in the time needed for your team. In tenth grade at my school I had to find a new JV coach to have a team and in doing so, found a great n...

While I assume that it would have to be one of the big three, i.e. Science, literature and social studies, I have never really been able to tell if one was more important than the other. So a...
