In the case where a team answered "Henry" for a tossup on Henry VIII and the answerline inexplicably failed to include a prompt and the moderator ruled the answer incorrect, the team would be justified in claiming that it should have been prompted. In practice this type of protest would be ...

Exciting! Team Illinois is tentatively interested in playing this, pending student availability. (Hard for the kids to know, given that we haven't picked our roster yet. We will have picked in time for this tournament.)

Though if there was sufficient demand for [blocking category repeats within a cycle], I’d look into it (get in touch). The IHSA announces top-level categories (i.e. "Science" but not "Biology") before each tossup and bonus, and has a rule requiring that a cycle does not repeat the same top-level c ...

The field for NAQT State has filled in record time; thanks to all who registered so far!

On the buzzer systems that I used to lug around for NHBB duties a decade ago, the official answer was "hold down your buzzer;" spamming the button would lose your place in line. The real answer was actually "sit as close to the moderator as possible and hold down your buzzer," because the sets used ...

Due to low staffing turnout, we are temporarily closing the field. Teams that register from this point on will be waitlisted. We hope to open the field back up and reach 16 teams, but will need additional staffers to do so.

Update - we are currently at a field of 13 teams, which means we only have 3 open slots. The current field can be seen in alphabetical order here . Any registration we receive after the field reaches 16 will be waitlisted. We need staff. If you would like to read, please fill out this form . Thanks!

As a fellow Rockford area player from quite a while ago - hello!

Agreed. I'm optimistic that most rulesets will be pre-emptively OK through appropriately broad rules covering phones and the like, but it behooves people to give it a check now.

FYI - if you have a mirror site with exactly 9 or 10 teams, the best tournament format by far is a simple 9-game round robin + finals. Providing two different seven-packet question sets makes it impossible to fairly run the round robin. That'll hamstring your ability to get mirror sites of those ...
