Re: TBA- Trash Bowl Alabama
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?

Re: Greatest Upsets in Quizbowl History
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...

Re: Paired Tossups and Bonuses
Can you explain what you mean by this? How are NAQT's bonuses structured any differently than other quizbowl tournament's bonuses?

The Purpose of Bonuses
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...

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.
