So as a follow up to Dylan's question, we will be having 0.5/0.5 Pop Culture/Trash and 0.5/0.5 Current Events instead of 1/1 PC/T. Thanks.

Scottietodd

Thank you to everyone for these comments and this thread. As al older person who is relatively new to Quizbowl (53 and 9), I have not read these forums as much as I probably should have and was directed here by a friend. I like to think that (at least in principle if not in practice) the vast majori...

Yes, this is indeed the case and I will report back on how well it works/doesn't. I'm probably also going to explore server boosting and whether it makes a difference. I am really glad to hear this! We will be running the Scottie with 32 teams using either Zoom or Discord on September 19th and it i...

Scottietodd

Thank you for the question Dylan. Despite the fact that we advertise the Scottie as fall and early spring, we had mirrors all the way until literally 4 days ago (May 31). Many of the current events question are quite stale after 8 to 10 months. So we extended geography to 1/1 and intend for much, if...

Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce the 2020 Scottie, to be held on Saturday, September 19, 2020. The Scottie will be held REMOTELY this year by Glasgow HIgh School due to the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic.

Hello! I am pleased to offer the 2020 Scottie for mirrors during the fall of 2020 and early spring of 2021. The Scottie is intended as a regular difficulty tournament for high school but will probably not be appropriate for novice tournaments. The Scottie will include at least 14 sets. The set distr...

Would teams be able to do both BUTTERSCOT and Scottie or is there too much correlation between the two sets? Thanks in advance.
Seeing as BUTTERSCOT is just condensed Scottie questions with most of the answerlines kept, no.

Correct. Thanks Danny.

Scottietodd

That's great Cortney. We'll have it polished and ready.

Scottietodd

OOOhhhhh. Cheaper than $10. I apologize. We have reasons for pricing ours that low that I won't get into. I regretted posting as soon as I sent anyway. There wasn't really any need for me to be sensitive. A set is good or bad. Thanks for clarifying Mike and apologies again Jacob.

Scottietodd

The $10 mirror fee norm is a holdover from quite a long time ago, and really should have gone up to $15 by now. If you believe that sets should be cheaper than that, you either believe that producing good questions doesn't deserve even remotely fair compensation, or you don't believe that sets need...

Please check out the Butterscot!...an "easier" version of the Scottie for more inexperienced teams.

Hello everyone, I am excited to announce the first ever BUTTERSCOT! (Kudos to Josh Rutsky for the catchy title.) The Butterscot will be an update, or companion, to the 2019 Scottie that will be more friendly for novice to middle of the road high school teams. (The 2019 Scottie can be seen here) http...

Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce the 2019 Scottie, to be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019. We are planning on hosting future Scotties on the 3rd Saturday in September to avoid the SAT, Labor Day, and ACT weekends. The Scottie will be held at Glasgow High School, 1601 Columbia Avenue, Gla...

Scottietodd

Along those same lines, I want to let everyone know that we are moving the Scottie to the third Saturday in September beginning this year. So the Scottie will be on September 21, 2019.

Thanks!

Scottietodd

Just as an early FYI: Glasgow High School will LIKELY be hosting the 2019 Scottie on Saturday, September 14th this year and the 2nd Saturday of September in the future. There is still a chance that we will keep it during the last weekend of August (except for when on Labor Day weekend like this year).

Will any stats from the KIQBC be posted online?

Maybe..... I plan on enlisting Ramapriya, and he and I will try to come up with a way to format the data in an understandable manner. However,
this will most likely be after Gov Cup State on March 16-18.

Thanks for your interest!

Nick, would you mind putting that the Southern Kentucky History Bee and Bowl will take place at Glasgow High School on January 5th, 2019 please? Thanks!

We are definitely planning on using Scobol in Kentucky and possibly Masonics as well. Members of the KQBA are meeting this Saturday to finalize details, so I should have some dates available for you soon after. Thanks.

The Kentucky Quiz Bowl Alliance (KQBA) is interested in using both SCOBOL and Masonics to provide data for NASAT selection in Kentucky this year.

I also want to chime in and add my thanks to Fred for these great rankings. It is a great to have access to this data and a lot of fun to analyze. Thanks for continuing to do this! Eighty-eight hours! Wow!

Scottietodd

Lots of good comments here. I ran into some of the same problems with how to rank teams for which I had a hard time finding data. I am actually less worried about ranking an actual #4 team too low at say #9, than I am about leaving someone out of the top 25 who probably should have been there. As ot...

So I just posted my ballot. While I'm pretty sure I did a better job this time than in the midseason poll (I was unaware of hdwhite.

To echo some thoughts, this was pretty hard to do, and looking at the results, I definitely missed a few. I obviously overlooked some data and certainly wasn't out to offend anyone, so I'm not going to stress about it. Life's too short. I think some type of method for dropping outliers is a great id...
