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...

Thank you Charlie. I'll be in touch pretty soon.

RECENT EDITS IN BOLD Hello everyone, I am please to offer the 2019 Scottie for mirrors during the fall of 2019 and early spring of 2020. The actual Scottie will be played at Glasgow High School on Saturday, September 21, 2019 and mirrors may be held beginning with that date. Distribution and writin...

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).

Hello everyone. I thought our first ever Individual Championship in Kentucky went well today! We had 36 students from across the state to compete, and I hope everyone had a good time.

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!

Kentucky will be hosting using the Scobol Solo at the University of Louisville on Sunday, March 3. Thanks!

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!

Scottietodd

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.

Scottietodd

The Kentucky Quiz Bowl Alliance (KQBA) is interested in using both SCOBOL and Masonics to provide data for NASAT selection in Kentucky this year. We are interested in using the sets either on one day in March or in two parts, in March and April. Do you foresee any issues with this? Please feel free ...

Tentatively, Glasgow (KY) would like to bring one team.

Glasgow High School would like to attend. We have not requested approval yet, but I do not anticipate problems. Thanks!

I want to thank all of the schools who supported this year's Scottie! The 2018 Scottie was a lot of fun. We had a great time writing the questions and look forward to feedback so that we can get better. Chattahoochee, Miami Valley, and Detroit Catholic Central A beat up on each other a little bit to...

Hello Quiz Bowlers: I am happy to announce the 2017 Scottie to be held at Glasgow High School in Glasgow, Kentucky on Saturday, August 26 2017. The past two Scotties have included very strong fields highlighted by 2015 Champion Detroit Catholic Central High School, 2016 Champion Dorman High School, ...

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. What a great resourse!), I'm still pretty sure that I hosed somebody. This was HARD. There are so many good teams and it is very difficult to cross compare them. In an...

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...

The Southern Kentucky History Bowl will now be on January 21st. Thanks!

Glasgow enjoyed the Hilltopper Invitational as always! It is a great tradition for us with set routines. Arrive at tournament, compete in tournament, forget our buzzer systems, eat at Mellow Mushroom, find out we left our buzzers, inconvenience WKU staff (Matthew) to retrieve buzzers, and then home!!

Scottietodd

Those are some really good points Andrew and they mirror my experiences in Kentucky very closely, especially as it relates to large public schools and the amount of practice time I spend with my kids in comparison to schools like you have mentioned.

Scottietodd

The sports analogy has made me think of high school sports in Kentucky and I find myself realizing that there is a pretty good parallel to HSNCT and SSNCT here that may actually support Nick's argument, especially when you look at Basketball. Kentucky is one of the only states left that has a true s...

For what its worth, a couple of my better players reached out to me last night after seeing the thread and expressed their disappointment with the change. They felt that if we should ever win the SSNCT that it might not mean as much as it had before.

As coach of a competitive small school program at Glasgow, KY, I have been reading all of these posts with interest.

From a coach who loves the actual format of NHBB, and coming from a coach who has not had a team make it to the highest levels (in NHBB) very often yet, here are my two cents.
