Re: 2016 HSNCT discussion
I haven't seen the questions in mind, but I'm a little confused how you could have knowledge about say the JFK assassination or Augusta National but not figure out what objects are being described (assuming I guess the tossups said "object"). The neg on Augusta National green jackets was ...

Re: Young adult literature
I. slightly deeper questions on the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Twilight, etc. (and by "slightly deeper" that still doesn't mean the answerline can be much deeper than "Katniss Everdeen," even if the question can be much harder than that answerline suggests). As much as I dislik...
