English Translations of East Asian Non-Fiction and Literature

I’ve recently created a translation publishing LLC with another friend and former quizbowler. Our first project is translating Kenji Fujimoto’s memoir describing his time as Kim Jong-Il’s personal chef and confidant. We are Kickstarting the funds for translation and copy editing. It occurred to me t...

Re: Fight the Power: A Hip-Hop Tournament

I would very much like to play this. Strictly 90s with an East Coast emphasis.

Re: Prison Bowl Mirror at University of Minnesota 3/19

Chanhassen will be attending as an unaffiliated team and will pay at the tournament.

Re: Prison Bowl Mirror at University of Minnesota 3/19

Looking forward to another well run U of M tourney. Chanhassen will be bringing a team, however once again it may or may not be affiliated with the school. Any updates on the field?

Re: Copernicus's Birthday Party (GSAC mirror at Minnesota)

I thought this tournament was well run. Also, I really enjoyed this set and having a break from NAQT.

Re: Copernicus's Birthday Party (GSAC mirror at Minnesota)

One of our coaches will be unable to attend so we are checking with the other to see if she can come. Otherwise myself and the rest of Chan A will be coming as "rogue Chan A". If we go rogue is it typically acceptable to pay at the tournament? I feel like that is what normally happens but ...

Re: Copernicus's Birthday Party (GSAC mirror at Minnesota)

Not sure if our coach has registered yet, but I'm sure Chan will bring a minimum of one team.

Chanhassen will be sending a team as well. I'm pretty excited, I don't think I've played in over a month either.

Re: Robert Schumann Bicentennial Tournament - 3/27 @ UMN

I'm surprised none of the other teams in the state that have attended non-NAQT tournaments in the pass, like SPC and Chaska, for example, have shown interest.
Chanhassen and Chaska have spring break during this meet which is the reason we are not attending

Re: Minnesota '09-'10

I know Chan would be interested in attending EP's HSAPQ tourney (assuming our budget allows), but our spring break falls on the U's tournament on the 27th so we won't be going to it.

Re: Academic WorldQuest

I played on a team at Minnesota's Worldquest this year and we did fairly well. I would recommend flags, capitals and reading the study guides for sure. Also there tend to be a few sports related questions especially about the olympics that tend to come up in our regionals, although I am pretty sure ...

Re: Minnesota '09-'10

Speaking of unusual formats, what is up with 18 question games?
I don't understand this either. It obviously couldn't save enough time to justify its use and even if it did there was an hour and a half lunch which totally unnecessary.

Re: Minnesota '09-'10

By the way, which teams are going to SnowCAT (because DLS will be actually stacking our A team for this tourney, and send multiple teams)?
Chanhassen is sending one team to SnowCat.

Re: Minnesota '09-'10

Hi I'm Austin from Chanhassen. I noticed a lot of comments about our team and I thought I should probably address them. For starters our coach is Krista Hammann she has been the assistant coach at Chaska since Mr. Lenius started coaching. Andrew I am assuming you were thinking our coach was Mrs. Sto...
