The Quizbowl Resource Center

This post is the amalgamation of several posts I made on discord earlier. Repeatedly, after causing harm to others in the community, qb men have decided to make a pages-long forums post to explain away their misconduct by walking the community through their thoughts and feelings; why they did what t...

One thing I would like to stress from Mahria's post is a point which has been repeatedly pointed out: men who perform well are repeatedly forgiven for their outbursts. Forgetting everything that Luke had done in high school, much of which was unknown at the time, how was anyone in club leadership ok...

Speaking specifically to HS Coaches, I want to draw attention to the bus to/from tournaments, which, in my experience, is often a den of debauchery. Once, while on the bus back from Urbana, one of my friends licked another up their arm and thanked them in front of the entire bus for sleeping with hi...

The thing about being a woman in quizbowl is that you're never just a player. You're a woman first and player second. In my high school career, the men who spoke to me were the men who were trying to hit on me. At ACE Camp before my senior year, the only man who regularly spoke to me was someone who...

I'm so tired of having this conversation. I'm tired of these fights on the forums that leave me terrified after I post that some man at least 5 years older than me is going to rip my words apart like what happened to Chloe's study two years ago. I'm tired of knowing nothing I say will change anythin...

To quote the previous years' threads: it's that time of year again where people start to hear back from transfer applications, grad school apps, job offers, landlords, etc. and make plans to go places. Here is a thread in which current college players or members of the college quizbowl community can...

I'm debating playing this year. I've always played on teams that were at least half non-men, so I'd like to keep that streak alive. I'm pretty okay at lit, visart, history and RMP

Once upon a time I was a high school senior who went to a Chicago practice. While I was there, I made a really dumb neg and was immediately yelled at for acting like a moron. Now, while this was said in what was, in retrospect, a friendly tone, I was completely intimidated, decided to never buzz aga...

One thing that I would love NAQT to consider for future years is how the late announcement of SCT sites can affect schools. For example, Kenyon's budget for next semester was due this past weekend. I have to include the expected travel distance and location of the competition when requesting funds, ...

In addition to everything that Jakob brought up, the inclusion of the “women’s final” mentioned above really needs to be addressed. While I understand that the intentions of the TD were likely to recognize the skill of female players, women are not the JV of quizbowl and should not be treated as suc...

Overall this tournament was really fun and ran smoothly. The decision to have teams stick with the same reader all day ended up working out well for us, as Asher was great. It was the first tournament for about half of the players Kenyon brought, and all seemed to enjoy the experience. Unfortunately...

Dear Men of Quizbowl, Let’s discuss how we, as a community, discuss issues pertaining to women. First of all, this is not a post meant to accuse anyone. It’s understood that everything you’re doing is out of a genuine place to create change and move the community forward. However, when your allyship...

One question that I think the community has for NAQT, however, is why exactly we should trust the organization going forward. It's great that you are now looking into everything--I don't mean that to come off as sarcastic. But why did it fall to members of the community to find these abhorrent blog ...

All those who read his blog and said nothing, revel in your complicity.

If Matt Bruce is so essential that NAQT cannot function without him, burn it the hell down. It's built on rot.

The idea of resigning this to a whisper network makes me sick to my stomach. I understand why doing anything more when something might just be 'this person is creepy and did x that isn't a crime but was bad" is also not the best way to approach things, but if we leave this to a whisper network ...

One thing that no one has discussed is that Quizbowl is already quite insular by the time you get to college. Most of my earliest memories of quizbowl are standing outside of the circle of "elite" Illinois players while they talked to my better teammates and I and whatever other 4th scorer...

The stradian bonus comes to mind, although I'm not a math player so I don't know if that's notable. Quinterest has no entries. I also think the lead-in to the Set tossup could have been better. I totally agree about the Set tossup. That and the Atalanta question reminded me of Brancusi lead in of &...

That horse bonus was a fantastic way to start the day

Any update on when stats are likely to be posted?

You should be able to. That's how we qualified sophomore year.
