Re: 2015 CO Visual Arts
Thank you Stephen, Doug, Nathan, and Benji for a great tournament. The difficulty and answer selection were great. It was nice being able to buzz on clues that I've researched and written about. I thought the distribution was great. The questions on 20th century art were well written, especially on ...

Books, especially Benet's. Gift cards to Barnes and Noble or Borders would be a good choice if you didn't know what they preferred to read.

Re: What got you into Quizbowl?
I did the geography and spelling bees, even making it to the Minnesota state geography bee finals in 5th grade, but my schools in Illinois didn't do those. Instead, there was some KMO-like computer test, then the middle school competitions in the greater Rockford area. As far as the non-competition ...

Re: College Jeopardy finally finds a way to avoid quizbowlers.
I'm not shocked that there are not any more quizbowlers than Meredith competing this year. I am sure that more quizbowl players were in the talent pool, but weren't selected for various reasons. I am also sure that the Jeopardy people do some background research about potential players, which is exp...

Due to the actions of some school districts in the past, the Masons had to dictate that the money goes to the team, not the school. I also disagree with this idea.

In addition to asking if you have any experience with quiz bowl, they also ask if you personally know anyone who has appeared on the show.

A good couple good examples would be Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain and Jonathan ...
