Am I right to assume that "UG up" eligibility means that players who have graduated college and are no longer affiliated with a university are eligible to play?

Woody

There is a Great Lakes STASH mirror (which is also open to Michigan teams) being held on April 17th, the same day as Michigan States. 4 Michigan Teams from 2 Michigan Schools have already signed up for that tournament. https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24746&p=383041&hil...

DeWitt High School and the Michigan Quiz Bowl Coaches Association are excited to announce that we will be hosting an online State Championship for the state of Michigan. DATE AND TIME: The tournament will take place on April 17th, 2021. Start time 9:00am ET REGISTRATION: Teams can register using NAQ...

The 2008 Class B Michigan State Championship. It was run on KMO/Academic Hallmark Questions, which is a significant part of what led to this happening. Also relevant is that the matches were timed, and if the timer ran out, the game was over -- no finishing the cycle or any of that. 2008 was a weird...

Woody

Do we have a start time for this yet?

Woody

Have any e-mails gone out with the Discord information for this tournament? I haven't received anything yet.

Woody

I assume the main site mirror will be held online? Very interested in playing this set.

Woody

Very interested, hoping to field at least one team for this. Is there any discount for multiple teams?

Woody

Are there any geographic restrictions for this tournament?

Woody

Unfortunately it looks like DeWitt won't be able to field a large enough team for that date at this time. I've gone ahead and removed our info from the sign-up sheet. Sorry, and hope the tournament goes well!

Woody

Are there any geographic restrictions for this event?

Woody

Is this tournament regionally closed?

Woody

this was very fun!

Well that would most certainly help for a packet reading! We're going to do 9:00 p.m. EST both nights as a start time.

I'll do my best to be there!

Woody

Can you explain what you mean by this? How are NAQT's bonuses structured any differently than other quizbowl tournament's bonuses? Well, the NAQT format is pretty standardized across quiz bowl now, I think the only national outliers I'm aware of would be QUnlimited/NAC and the PACE NSC. My issue wi...

Woody

Split from Paired Tossups and Bonuses - Mgmt The hotter take is that bonuses end up making a difference in a very small number of games. A large portion of a quizbowl match is devoted to them. As I've argued elsewhere, I'd love to see new approaches to bonuses that preserve the teamwork element but...

Woody

v. interested in this

Woody

This tournament was a lot of fun! I think the only hiccup was that some staff weren't familiar with how to manually disconnect someone from a voice channel, so there were a few times we had to wait around until someone whose roles had been revoked actually left. (sidenote: I think it's possible to g...

Woody

Are there any teams looking for players still? And if so, is it still legal to add free agents, or are rosters completely locked? I completely missed this thread and am bummed.

Woody

Any chance this is moving to be an online event?

Woody

Do we have a rough idea yet of how many packets will be played? Will it be TU-only, or TU+bonus? If TU+bonus, how much time will be given on bonuses? Will answers be given via voice or text? We plan to have 10ish rounds of tossups and bonuses. It's a month out and we're still considering policy on ...

I feel like a 12 month ban from organized online competition for a first offense is eminently reasonable.

Woody

This event was great and I had a lot of fun on the small subset of the packets that I played! I do think the difficulty was a little too high for my personal preferences, but I probably wasn't really the target audience. I loved how diverse the subject matters covered were, and how each packet was i...

I believe this should be posted in the Middle School board instead: viewforum.php?f=46

Hopefully both continuing and improving! I'm very excited we were able to settle on a format that will dramatically increase the number of games each team will get to play

Fifth Annual DeWitt Invitational Middle School Quiz Bowl Tournament Saturday, March 7, 2020 at DeWitt High School 8:30 am - 12:30 pm Dear Middle School Quiz Bowl Coaches, We are looking forward to hosting a Middle School Quiz Bowl tournament on Saturday, March 7th at DeWitt High School. We will hold...

Woody

I am very excited to play this

Woody

Will this be the year that DeWitt unseats DCC as undisputed champions of Michigan? ...Probably not

Woody

I will have at least five tossups of dubious merit that can hardly be considered a packet, but if played will hopefully make at least one person in the room smile.

Woody

you can remove the ? from my name, I'll def. be there unless something from the standard slate of unforeseen circumstances occurs

Woody

I'll have 12 buzzers that can hook up to a laptop running the PACE Buzz software (1 USB port required per 4 buzzers), and I'll also bring my laptop that has the PACE Buzz software and 3 USB ports.

Woody

I would definitely be willing to write somewhere between 10-20 mediocre TUs for a guerilla bring your own packet thing.

Woody

July 13th would likely work better for me than July 6th, but I can try to make July 6th work as well.

Woody

Given the current # of participants it seems unlikely that it'll get moved to be triples

Woody

Would also love to see a mirror of SSNCT in Michigan, though it's probably a bit late for that to get organized.

Woody

I cannot wait to play this at HSNCT!

Woody

"Teams are to note that one team consists of 4 players."

...so no alternates allowed at all?
