Sorry, that has been fixed.

Whoops, sorry about that. Combined stats should be fixed now and no longer double counting games. Apologies for the delay.

Thanks to all teams that came out and played! UVA defeated Johns Hopkins A in a one-game final, while Delaware defeated Rutgers A to claim third place. Playoff and prelim states can be found here . Edit: Combined stats are now uploaded. If you notice any mistakes, please pm me or email umdquizbowl@g...

Edit: Registration has now closed and the field is finalized.

The University of Maryland would like to confirm April 20th as the day for our high school mirror of Terrapin.

Can someone from Hopkins confirm their mirror of ILLIAC on March 30th? UMD is planning on hosting our high school mirror of Terrapin on April 20th, but if March 30th isn't going to be used we would consider that as well.

Thank you to all the teams that came out to ACF Fall this year - we hope you had a great time. Congratulations to Maryland A, who cleared the field to win the Maryland site of ACF Fall this year.

I totally agree. Firstly, Blair is planning on hosting a tournament next year and my current plan is to abandon the idea of doing another housewrite and maybe even make it a totally novice tournament, however that would obviously depend on whether we could get sufficient interest. I am certainly pl...

Can the tossups on "Senegal" and "Nyerere" be posted please? The paramilitary group FLAM is headquartered in this country and represents the halpulaar population in this country’s northern neighbor. This country dissolved a short-lived federation with its eastern neighbor amidst tensions between it...

12. The third movement rondo of a trio sonata for this instrument, oboe, and piano was modeled after Saint-Saens's second piano concerto; that work was composed by Francis Poulenc. John Williams wrote a concerto called The Five Sacred Trees for Judith LeClair, who is currently the New York Phil’s p...

Moving on the topic at hand, I'd like to point out that this is remarkably similar to the situation that occurred last year at UCSD's mirror of Terrapin, and the community decided that a tournament can have adjustable eligibility rules, but they need to be clearly stated, so as to be fair to all. W...

Okay, so allowing open high school teams to play at easy college tournaments is certainly a bad idea; but Penn Bowl is surely not the best example of this behavior as it usually only attracts experienced college teams and some really motivated high schoolers. Your argument that high schoolers shoul...

I just want to say that for the most part, I enjoyed the history in this set, especially the tossups on "Mehmet Ali" and "Schools" in France (I'm pretty sure this one was a replacement tossup that got used in my room, but I'm not certain.) Could someone please post the tossups on "bassoons" and "Mas...

Mods, can a subforum for set discussion please be set up?

I thought that power ran kinda late on a few questions, Pigs and Milošević being the first two that pop into my head. Also, I though that a few tossups had weird clues early, with both Japanese-Americans having ni hao and the lied tossup having Schuman early in the question. But other than that I'd ...

Okay, I'm just going to throw in my two cents. I did like taking only the top two teams from the morning into the upper brackets for the afternoon; it created a more intense competition for the afternoon, with better teams squaring off against each other. It was definitely much more difficult than l...

Back for RM one more time, moving our mirror of SCOP Novice to December 19th.

Back for RM, our Spring Tournament has been moved to April 9th, and is now a mirror of Harvard Fall. The Fall tournament date is still tentative.

Hello, Richard Montgomery would like to claim the dates of November 7th for a mirror of SCOP Novice, and April 2nd for a mirror of BISB. However, due to problems with school sponsorship, these dates are tentative, and may change, along with the packets.
