Re: General discussion
As well, there were a few question-length problems in the set, with several questions going to 8 lines, and I distinctly remember the Louis XVI tossup being a whopping 9 lines long. Thankfully for me at least, I didn't have to read all of them because of a good buzz in my room on the 2nd line, but ...

Re: Question-specific discussion
In the Ferdinand tossup, I thought it could have been a hose putting in the clue about Ferdinand Marcos, because I'm sure at least 1 team in the nation heard People's Power Revolution, instinct buzzed not realizing it wanted a first name, and said "Marcos." On a similar note, the music tos...

Re: General discussion
My feelings about this set were generally good. The difficulty of the questions wasn't anything worrying, and some unique answerlines kept the tournament fresh and interesting for a lot of teams. I felt like the NAQT-style bonuses and beginnings of bonuses (Pokemon science bonus, other bonuses I can...

Re: What Happens to DC-Area Quizbowl Next Year?
I'm going to go against the advice of my teammates and spend valuable studying time putting in a worthless speculation on things that have not happened yet in this self-gratifying and egotistical thread. I have very little idea of how DC/MD will turn out, since I've not played against many teams oth...

I'll also be going to Amherst College next year. I haven't decided whether I'll be playing quizbowl or not.

Re: Qub - A Multiplayer Quiz Bowl Reader
A few teammates told me about this just a minute ago, so I opened the link to try it out. I am using Chrome, and I made sure it was up-to-date. Upon clicking the link, the interface tells me that the Client Disconnected. Refreshing did not help. My friend said that he is currently on, so the server ...

Re: Online Skype Practice League
Yes, I, too, found it fun and interesting, although I personally failed terribly. It ran smoother than expected, but I have an idea that could make it even smoother for future seasons. During the calls, I noticed that oftentimes there would be background noise from someone, like crickets, or someone...

Re: Online Skype Practice League
Google+ has hangouts (group video chat) for free, I would rather use that than have to pay for Skype Premium I would much rather use Skype since I already know how it works, and also, there is apparently an age minimum for Google+ right now, which I think is 18. When I got an invite from a friend, ...
