WOW! That's impressive! Full in ~8 hours? And I thought Northwestern's Jr Wildcat filled up fast... We have a hungry, growing circuit in Southwest Missouri. Fortunately, we've lined up enough staff to expand the field to 24 teams. Unfortunately, we're not able to expand further. I'm in the process ...

Atlashill

The initial field is full. ~~We will start a waitlist with the hopes of expanding the field.~~

We're expanding the field to 24 teams. The waitlist will start once we hit the new cap. Preference on the waitlist will be given to teams committing tournament staff.

It took just over four hours for our initial field to fill. Rest assured we are compiling staff numbers to determine if we can make a field expansion to accommodate the potential waitlist. Again, commitments to provide staff can increase a school's spot on the waitlist.

Good additions, Felix. Is Lorraine still on the FZN lineup, or did she also graduate? I also realized another hidden gem that could make things interesting in the Northeast: Paris - the Coyotes ventured to their first 20/20 tournaments this past spring.

And just like that, we're full. We will start a waitlist, with preference given to teams able to provide staff. With enough staff we should be able to expand to 24 teams.

Obligatory thread to discuss all the quizbowl happenings in the Show-Me State for the coming season. As usual, much of the discussion normally transpires on the state board and Discord.

One issue that will need pointed out with the Anderson sets is that the light on the buzzer box is a small LED that, if handled roughly, can end up falling into the box. More critically, if a moderator is used to seeing the light in front of the player, rather than checking the indicator, they might...

IIRC, Missouri explicitly prohibits such a thing for any MSHSAA member school, with some minor exceptions for overage students at the 8th grade level. (All multi-subject team-based quizbowl events are subject to MSHSAA's jurisdiction, even beyond the state series.) Correct. This is consistent with ...

This season, with Missouri streamlining their format to align closer to the national standard, I was able to get four schools in the northeastern part of the state to participate in their first 20/20 tournament. Two of them I had been angling to get in our fields for years. Unfortunately, given all ...

Well, Mother Nature finally cooperated for a Saturday! And what a weekend it was, thanks to everyone's participation in the inaugural Scholastic Tournament Acclaiming the Recall of Knowledge! We needed 13 rounds to determine a champion, with Macomb A powering past Hallsville A to win. Rochester defe...

Macomb A powered past Hallsville A 395-240.

Complete stats

Write-up to follow on what has been a fantastic day.

Atlashill

We had a last-minute drop because of weather, resulting in Louisiana's JV team entering the field.

Prelim and Playoff stats are up. Hallsville A and Macomb A entered Round 11 undefeated and have effectively started a best-of-three finals.

Atlashill

With all teams accounted for after the postponement, our field presently stands at 27. Louisiana is able to field a team if necessary to get the field to an even number, but we'll be happy to add anymore squads if schools are still looking for a tournament on February 9th.

Owing to this weekend's impending weather (to wit, Northern Missouri is under a Winter Storm Warning and MoDOT has issued a travel advisory), the Moberly Young Scholars Tournament has been postponed.

Who's already tired of winter? Instead of 30 teams making their way to STARK last Saturday, Louisiana ended up welcoming 20" of snow! And we could be getting more snow this weekend!

Per the recommendation of the Louisiana R-II Administration, the Scholastic Tournament Acclaiming the Recall of Knowledge (STARK) is hereby postponed to February 9th, 2019.

Weather forecasts are not looking positive for this weekend. As it's still too early to know for sure what exactly (if anything) will be coming through, as of this post, we are continuing our preparations for STARK. Having said that, we are advising everyone that we have selected a fallback date of ...

I read your primer and thought you did a decent job with it.

We have received sanctioning from MSHSAA, allowing us to host out-of-state teams. Should we receive another out-of-state registration, we'll need to update the paperwork before confirming that registration. Three spots remain in our current field. Again we hope to expand to 36 with enough buzzer set...

Atlashill

We have enough staff to confidently expand to 2832 teams. Should we receive additional staff commitments we should get to 36.

If you are outside Missouri, we ask that you register before December 7th. We will need to start filling out the sanctioning paperwork with MSHSAA soon.

Atlashill

The initial field cap has been met. If we are able to attract additional staff we will consider a field expansion to 28, 32, and then finally 36 teams.

A couple items to point out as registration continues: 1) STARK is the successor to Hannibal's tournament, TWAIN. I am appreciative of Hannibal HS's administration for their support of TWAIN the previous two seasons. 2) Teams are not considered in the field unless and until signed up through our Goo...

Our initial field is full! If we are able to secure enough staff, we will consider an expansion to 24 teams. Given that this is the first year for Sparta hosting, if we expand the field to 24, we won't expand further.

Two big moves are in store for Missouri this season. The bigger of the two moves is *gasp* a change in the format. Citing monetary issues from maintaining the four-quarter format, MSHSAA has adopted a more streamlined 26/26 format. It's essentially an NAQT 22/22 packet with 4/4 math computation adde...
