We have three spots available, after which time our waitlist once again begins.

And those three spots are claimed. We now begin our waitlist once more, in the event of any drops.

With last weekend's NASAT workshop, the fall phase of the season is coming to a close. Thoughts on what has transpired so far? In short, I think the state's circuit has its new standard bearers for the next couple years: the tandem of Owen Farra and Sam Lindsey of St Louis Patriots in the east, alon...

A final expansion to 36 is happening. We have three spots available, after which time our waitlist once again begins.

We uploaded these last weekend but haven't had a chance to share until now. Stats: Complete • Prelims • Playoffs After ten rounds, College Heights and Kickapoo faced off for the championship, which CHC won 355-315. Once again the Eagles' Gabe Forrest was the top individual player with almost 137 poi...

MSHSAA has sanctioned PAWS. At present our 32-team field is full, but a final expansion to 36 is possible.

The West Is Rising. Congrats to College Heights for clearing the field at the MOQBA Fall Championship, followed by North Kansas City in second and St Joseph Central in third. All three are along Highway 71. Hallsville was fourth. The last big hurrah of the winter (competition-wise) will be December ...

The field has once again reached its cap, and a waitlist is in place.

Atlashill

So... we need to add College Heights Christian to our list. Sophomore Gabe Forrest was two tossups away from single-handedly grailing an entire round of LOGIC at Sparta Fall. (Garrett Blum of Thayer was even closer that same round.) Also, we might have a new hidden gem at Fair Grove . Their varsity ...

Stats: Combined • Prelims • Playoffs It was quite the long day Saturday, but in spite of the assorted delays, I hope everyone enjoyed the opportunity to compete in 11 rounds of competition. College Heights Black posted a perfect 10-0 record, edging Kickapoo Gold 320-280 in the championship match to ...

Stats: Combined • Prelims • Playoffs College Heights didn't miss a beat in going 9-0, averaging 450 points per 20 tossups heard. That included a solid, 380-240 victory over Thayer A. This game featured our top two individual players, Garrett Blum of Thayer (152.8 points per 20 tossups heard) and Gab...

We've secured enough staff to warrant an expansion to 32 teams. If enough interest and staff can be lined up, we may be able to commit to an additional expansion. Teams on the waitlist are being informed. If you're not on the waitlist, you still have the chance to register!

Atlashill

There's a bug with the new version (2.3.2): when I attempt to save phases, the screen goes blank, and it's not possible to save the file from that point.

Atlashill

We have our initial field of 24 teams. We are pursuing additional staff in order to bring about an expansion to at least 28 teams.

Atlashill

Adding UG & D2 was an excellent idea. Is it possible to add an option, for high school tournaments, where UG and D2 become Small School (SS) and JV? We have a handful of tournaments that offer either if not both awards, and this would be an easy way to keep track. (For the tournament I'm slowly rebu...

I'm in the process of giving it a run-through with scoresheets I've retained from a 36-team tournament. So far I'm enjoying the option to name pools and phases all at once, as well as the sidebar where standings are updating as I enter games. However, it's a bit of a hassle to click "add game", then...

Two notable developments in our field: We have our first entry from Kansas. We look forward to having Wichita East in our field. (Update 8th Oct: The Kickapoo Classic has received formal sanctioning from MSHSAA to allow out-of-state teams to compete. ) We've expanded to 30 teams. However, after disc...

We have secured enough staff to confidently expand our field to 32 teams. If you've been waiting for a field expansion so you don't have to fret about being on the waitlist, well, the expansion's happened; sign up today!

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.

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.

My list of teams to watch this year, in no particular order: Thayer - the Bobcats came close to claiming their first state title, falling short against College Heights. Garrett Blum is a senior, he was the lead scorer on Missouri's C team at NASAT, and he's eager to get to the pinnacle. This develop...

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.

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!

Macomb A powered past Hallsville A 395-240.

Complete stats

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

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.

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

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.
