How Can I purchase questions through PACE? No one has responded to emails.

Byko,

If your looking for more scores of a random league in Michigan, try

http://www.megaconferencequizbowl.com

or

fulton.edzone.net/high/quizbowl/quizbowlmain.html

also if you contact Ann Saunders from UM-flints T.V. 28 she can send you scores from their tournament.

emactruman

Thanks for the advice. I may be still interested in purchasing some VHSL material for a much more localized tourney.

As stated before, this thread was a revisitation of a thread posted towards the end of last year . Contrary to many people's belief this has been in the works since April of last year. The last time ( and only other time ) that this was discussed there seemed to be no responses at all. So I had figu...

The goal was to get TJ and Gov to come. The hope was to get 20 of the better teams in the nation as well as the top few from within Michigan and Ohio. So that teams could have a barometer so to speak.

emactruman

Allow me to explain myself a little further. I have noticed that most teams in the michigan area do not travel often to see teams from outside our own state and Ohio (DCC exluded). Likewise, it is to my understanding that there are few tournaments that have a national championship caliber field of t...

emactruman

Do you know what it takes to run a tournament? I'm going to assume not or else you'd understand that sometimes things just don't work out.

emactruman

I believe flowerday's is a week earlier.

emactruman

Yes. I am still working out many details. This thread is just a recon mission.

emactruman

How does Tipp City look?

emactruman

GPN should be solid if they travel a little more, but EL and DCC should have the field covered all year. I see Troy, DCD, GPN in that second tier. after that I would say Churchill, Novi, Kent City, White Cloud, and Hartland have potential. I also thin West Bloomfield may be decent. After that there ...

How many teams would be interested in a invite only tournament that combined some of the best teams from the previous season in a early season tournament (sometime prior to Thanksgiving).

emactruman

I know it everyone is still looking at Nationals, but what teams look to be strong nationally next year. I plan on using yhis plus results from this field to compile a index of teams that I will invite to a tournament in October.

emactruman

How does Saturday Oct. 6 sound.

emactruman

I want to host a tournament at Wayne State University that would be like a National Championship preview. This would be early in the year (next year), and would be invite only. I have a list of teams I am considering. Are any Non-Michigan and Ohio schools interested?

emactruman

Unfortunetly it looked like I did not have enough teams. So I told m staff I was going to cancel. Now I may have had just barely enough, however, I cannot get the staff. So, I am definately going to have to cancel. For the record, I would have only had these teams... East Lansing (1) Troy (1) DCC (2...

emactruman

I still have no teams. Is this a format issue or a date issue. Any coaches in the Michigan please respond. I may cancel, byt for now it is still a go.

emactruman

What is the Ohio site?

emactruman

My response would be to throw out the idea of multiple divisions. Have a pre-determined schedule with teams randomly drawing that schedule. Granted this assumes that you can draw a schedule in a understandable way, while making it obvious that the schedules were predetermined. This wouold work espec...

emactruman

I still have no teams entered

emactruman

Results are posted, Also, I'll admit I slightly underestimated East Lansing. However, I still feel as no more than 3 Michigan schools are top 25 material.

Personally, I would like to point out that is not up to the tournament director. NAQT allow for such "trash" questions. As for Sports, I have always felt that it is its own category seperate of the "pop culuture" or "trash" categories. I personally believe statistical l...

emactruman

As someone who prefers NAQT it is hard for me because at Wayne State all we currently do is CBI. Still we made progress in that forum with a largely amalgamized team. Luckily my syudent organization is slowly bringing about change.

I was wsorking on a computer ranking system at one time, kind of like a quiz bowl RPI, however, it was only state wide and I stopped recieving scores, so I quit.

We'd be willing to host it if we could get a strong field.

emactruman

Michigan's top 10 is decent, but outside of Troy none are really top 16 in the nation. DCC and East Lansing are fringe top 25 teams depending on format and question set. From there, the is a slew of teams that might fit around 30-60, like Novi, DCC B, Country Day, and White Cloud. Michigan really ha...

sorry for the lack of info. Thanks have got dicey in terms of team count. All schools already registered have been given directions accept Northmont and Fisher Catholic. I Fed-ex them to Northmont.

emactruman

Since you are from Ohio, and since I have claimed geograhpic exclusivity for Michigan, I will have to put your team on the waiting list. However, I tlooks like I will have a few open spots left. So, as of now I would say that your in. I'll send you an electronic copy of the registration form tomorrow.

I was thinking about hosting an invitational tournament that would bring together some of the top teams in the nation at Wayne State University. Would any teams be interested outside of Michigan and Ohio. Also, what would be a good group of schools, say 32 that would make an elite national tournamen...

There is still plenty of room.

This is an update on the tournament registration. So far, I am way under the cap of 24 teams. So far we have... Rochester (2) Brighton and several verbal commmitments/interest. However, verbal commitments are not solid therefore they are not being counted until I get an email or hard document that c...

In Michigan there is one such team that participates in Quiz Busters.

Sometime in october there should be one at White Cloud (near west of Grand Rapids but somewhat east of Kalamazoo) .

I would like to echo the sentiments of Tegan. If high school unification is possible, a national federation is needed. Furthermore, it can not be just another company, but a sanctioning body. Our situation is similiar to that of of Auto Racing in it's early days, or Monster Truck racing today. I kno...
