Re: 2023 ARCADIA General Discussion

Howdy everyone, I edited the other science for this year’s ARCADIA. I’m credited with a combined 3 questions in that distribution, which speaks to the degree it was a team effort. I think the distribution is better for it being a team effort, since we have a really deep pool of talented other scienc...

Re: 2023 ACF Winter General Thanks

I failed to fulfill my commitment to this set. To the field, plus ACF and the general college quizbowl community: I apologize. You deserved better work on my part. To my fellow editors: I apologize. You deserved me relinquishing this editing spot for someone who would do their job. With that said, I...

Re: I've Heard That Song Before: A Musical Theatre Audio Set

I'm certainly interested (and if I had to guess, some others in the Research Triangle are too). I would prefer an online tournament as an option, but I won't claim other preferences.

Re: DRAMA Musical Theater Set Announcement

Howdy! I just wanted to check in -- are you intending to post this set? It's entirely possible that wasn't the plan; if so, apologies for bringing this thread back! I just remembered that I wanted to look over some of the questions I enjoyed, and maybe share some of them with folks who hadn't played...

Re: 2023 ACF Regionals Discussion

I played the set in its playtesting form, and in a rather different format than teams would (e.g. I can let the actual good players 30 everything I don't know), but I enjoyed a lot of the questions in the little niches of knowledge I have (e.g. Tim and Graham's statistics and applied math/meteorolog...

Re: sports!: The Bob Gibson Memorial Set Online Mirror

I'm interested in playing! I can probably do alright on baseball, basketball, and particularly gridiron football, plus college football and (to an extent) basketball.

Re: WEEKZERO (FBS College Football, 2010 - Present)

Sorry for late notice -- the reading tonight at 8 PM Eastern (e.g. 20 minutes from now) will be in #packet2 and the corresponding voice channel. Hope to see you there! EDIT: With all the Discord readings done, here are the scores from them! Scores from first 40: Sarah Mueller: 180 (20/4) Josiah Taka...

Re: 2021 ACF Nationals: Specific Question Discussion

Out of curiosity, who wrote the E-M algorithm question? I don't know much about E-M algorithms, so I wanted to ask someone smarter/more knowledgable than me (e.g. the author) about how an answer of Data Augmentation would've gone on this, and what the differences in EM and DA are. I probably would'v...

Re: WEEKZERO (FBS College Football, 2010 - Present)

Howdy again everyone! As Dr. Cheyne mentioned, it sounds like some folks may read this at Chicago Open, so I'll be delaying posting the set on the archives until after that happens. For folks who aren't going to play these questions at Chicago Open, I'm going to go ahead and hold readings in #packet...

WEEKZERO (FBS College Football, 2010 - Present)

EDIT -- Here's the set on the packet archive: https://trash.quizbowlpackets.com/2671/ Howdy y’all! In celebration of the return of college football, I’ve written 80 and change tossups focused on FBS college football from the start of the 2010 season (e.g. Cam Newton’s Heisman year) through now, whic...

Re: Where are you going next year? (Collegiate 2019)

I'm substantially less relevant than Thatcher (or most everyone else), but I'll be at Duke for the next 4 or 5 years, so let me know if there are big events in the area that might need extra staffers. I can't promise availability (or that I'll be good), but I'd like to stay part of the community, so...
