Damn, it's only through week 5.
I can probably start working on it in a week or two (ridiculously busy with midterms, hw and going up to stanford for the football game).

Your school brought two teams, but submitted one packet? Another packet from your team (even by the people that refused to go because they perceived the quality to be poor) would certainly have helped. On a whole, I didn't think the packets were too bad. The questions you already mentioned were the ...

I'm quite late coming to this thread, but I personally see nothing wrong with lists making parts of toss ups. The standard inverted pyramid becomes clearer clue by clue, which means the more veteran players will get these earlier either from superior depth of knowledge or a familiarity with certain...

I think luck comes in more in the cases of which the player does not know who or what the information identifies and based on what they hear realize the information could, based on what they already know about a person, very well be true. In this case, the person has used the knowledge they possess ...

I agree, if the person who negged only knew George Gershwin and buzzed on that, then he deserved the neg. I just figured that the vast majority of quizbowlers who could name Gershwin tunes, such as the player who negged early with George, would know about Ira. But maybe that's incorrect. The issue ...

While this isn't entirely applicable with your question because it's reasonably well-written, I just don't believe it's a good idea to mislead players even with a uniquely identifying clue. If the uniquely identifying clue is too obscure or inconsequential, it could go over the player who has imper...

The question is a weak hose because it fits the hose criteria. These are: 1. Irregardless of how much one knows, one cannot be sure what the answer to the question is until significantly into the question because the question does not directly and uniquely specify its answer and 2. the most probabl...

Guide to Packet Editing
With all the talk about how bad the packets have been at West Coast tournaments this year, I was wondering if there is any sort of guide for editing the packets for a tournament? It would seem straightforward (cross reference clues, grammar, etc), but if there is no guide for this I think that the o...
