The Quizbowl Resource Center

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 someo...

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 we'd brou...

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.
