Re: Introducing YellowFruit.

Groan. No, I'm not claiming ownership over anything. People are free to copy me. As long as YFT will continue supporting formats that aren't the stuff on HDWhite, I'm satisfied, and this seems to be the case. I would be extremely upset if a tool known for adaptability and universality suddenly becam...

Re: DMV Circuit Discussion, 2023-2024

It may have gone unnoticed, but Poolesville just won the Keystone Cup, a 53-team event in Eastern Pennsylvania! Quite a showing for a traditional History Bowl/Scibowl powerhouse. Definitely a team that has taken a step beyond up-and-coming.

Re: All-Northeast Master Calendar 2023-24

Pretty sure it's difficulty (blue = below regs, green = regs, yellow = regs+, red = nats; though maybe red isn't meant to represent difficulty of nats exactly because ssnct is regs difficulty even though it is a nats set).
