Here are stats from Alabama's sectional, I know they're all on the website but I figured I'd post the url here to be grouped with the others.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'm going to go all John Madden and make a bold prediction that the winning team will be the one who answers more toss-ups than the other team.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I sent Lucy a message on FaceBook and she hasn't responded yet, I hope to hear something soon.

Hmmm, it would appear not. That sucks, I always like playing against Slade. Maybe we'll see them at ICT assuming we all make it.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Mr. Young or Chris, have either of you heard of any of the Georgia teams like GPC attending a Sectional? I thought they would either come to ours or one of the Florida ones since there wasn't one in Georgia. I know GPC has Robert Slade for his last year and when I talked to them he said they planned...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Mr. Young I'll talk to Lucy at Jeff State to see if she can't send it along.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

To add to the unbelievable sectional results, Northeast and Snead finished 1 and 2, respectively, at the Alabama Sectional.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Snead would prefer to play on the A-Set as it appears to be our only viable option since Penn Bowl seems unlikely. We'd love to come to UA and have a little fun at a tournament even if it is A-Set.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Jeff I believe you are very correct, I don't know a single person on the CC Circuit who would have to write a packet. Penn Bowl may be very doable now, but of course this is all up to the UA Quiz Team and of course the Penn Team as well.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I think people are asking for a MUT Mirror? Please. That would be extremely awesome as MUT is one of the tournaments Snead has talked about all year. In this case, I realized the lack of warning and predetermined details, so it's mostly to cater to our local CCs. Though I do see a lot of Penn Bowl ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

UA is actually one of the places I'm considering, along with just about every other college in Alabama. If I get lucky enough to swing one of those 5 Community College Honors scholarships I'll definitely be at UA

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Oh we're coming to Alabama ourselves if you do Penn Bowl, I meant we couldn't go to like USC or something 4-5 hours away unless he took us. Tuscaloosa is reasonable, and besides, it's Tuscaloosa!!

49-Mile Scenic Drive

OK, I said my piece, I'll lighten up. A few comments, though. Mark: The long trips are not necessarily always good for your gameplay, however fun they may be. If you have a trip that lasts more than 10 hours, it tends to hurt you, but 6 or 7 hours isn't that bad, even though it seems like it would ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Snead would be interested in a Penn Bowl Mirror. I just talked to Casey Lowery and I'm pretty sure Northeast would be interested as well.

EDIT: We only have 5 people, but I might could get a couple buddies to come join us so that we might have enough for 2 teams. 1 team for sure though

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I hope I didn't project that A-sets were good preparation for CCCT. I just meant any tournament in general could only help us prepare, whether it be Penn Bowl, IS-Set or whatever else. I'm not sure how much of a pattern will reciprocate this year, but the 2007 iteration of Ackbar featured all CC tea...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Snead and more than likely Northeast as well (and maybe a couple other CCs) would love a Penn Bowl Mirror

EDIT: If you use IS-92 none of the CCs will be able to attend due to it being used at our Sectionals this coming weekend.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

A MUT mirror in Alabama would be very very awesome.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

You know Fred I hadn't even thought about that. I was wondering myself why there wasn't a mirror announced in the SouthEastern region. I believe U-LM is doing a mirror of it but that would be inaccessible to most teams around here. I'd love to get a chance to play Penn Bowl.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I didn't know that part, a set change could always work, even if it was an A-Set. I believe the only non A-Set we aren't using is IS-94. The chances of IS #94 being ready by January 30th are nil (its current first use is scheduled for February 27th, and meanwhile we have an SCT to finish). Let me a...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Dangit Bobo you ruin everything! (Kidding) I didn't know that part, a set change could always work, even if it was an A-Set. I believe the only non A-Set we aren't using is IS-94. Any type of tournament, be it A-Set, IS, or ACF-style could only serve as a type of warm-up for CCCT

49-Mile Scenic Drive

All right. We've garnered a bit of interest, enough for maybe 5 or 6 CUT teams, and Alabama hopes to throw in some of our own new and somewhat inexperienced players. Cost and location will be announced as soon as I get e-mails back from those that are in charge of those things. There will definitel...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I would so come to this if it wasn't CCCT weekend. Of course they way things are the CCCT may just be a "show up here and hope it's the right location" type of tournament the way things are going.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Having been in this situation once before, I think MS teams in High School tournaments can be very beneficial. My 8th grade year our middle school team was riding an undefeated record, finished 66-2, and Lee Henry somehow got us into Alabama's high school state NAQT tournament. We ended up placing 7...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Snead will probably be interested in sending a team (even if it's just me) to this.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

This isn't a definite list by far, but seeing as how I haven't heard any updates, which may be partially be due to us not starting back yet, but based on last year's sectional and attendance at ACBL events thus far here is what I'll forecast: Snead (1) Northeast (1-2) Jeff State (1 maybe 2 depending...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I also forgot to add above that we have 1 player who is non-lit who could probably help in some capacity.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yeah not having it on 2/27 would be a good idea it seems, as Snead and maybe a couple other CCs might be interested in attending. I've mentioned this tournament to my teammates periodically and the interest is growing because we only get to play IS/A-Series in the CC Circuit and would love to play o...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I think the CCCT site is in serious flux right now. Right now I'm thinking the Motel 6 just off I-75 in Ocala. Or maybe we'll see y'all in Orlando for our ninth hosted tournament this year! Sigh. Anyway, I always like playing lit questions, but I'll staff this, assuming I'm there. I wouldn't compla...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I may have just missed this -- but has NAQT announced the locations of the CCCT and ICT yet? If not, is there an ETA on that? Thanks. As far as I know they haven't announced either one, but all of the CC teams seem to have gotten some indication that CCCT may be in Mobile. I'd assume they'd be anno...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'll ask my coach once we have our first practice if he'd be able to moderate it. I'm sure since most of our team will probably want to play it he wouldn't mind. I'll get back to you guys on that.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'm not sure how many people from CCCT will want to play, but I imagine a good many, which poses me to ask if there will be any sort of a field cap for this or if you would end up doing some type of draft for a doubles event or something if there was over X number of people.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yeah a Florida mirror might be more feasible pending which area of Florida it were held in and whether our coach will take us. We'd love to have attend this tournament as it would serve as a great warm-up for CCCT

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Might there be a possibility of another Southeastern area mirror in TN, GA, or AL? This would be something my team would probably be interested in attending but due to funding cuts it has become even more impossible for us to make a trip to South Carolina.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I saw the RMP thing and wondered but I won't complain either since it will just be 1/0, I really look forward to playing this tournament. If it turns out to be doubles I will be looking for a partner.

EDIT: By playing I mean if this is held at CCCT

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I can certainly say I and maybe a couple other Snead players would play this if it were to be held at CCCT, and I'm sure Casey and some of his teammates would as well in addition to the other teams playing there.

Thanks for clarifying

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Does this mean we can expect the field size at CCCT to be lesser than last year? Seems like that's like half as many sectionals as there were.

EDIT: Chris, Casey or myself (or both!) will try to keep you updated with the type of field we're looking at.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Speaking on the Mary Apparition bonus, we didn't get the bonus but I thought it was rather hard especially for a novice set. The only one we would've gotten would've been the Guadalupe part with a slight possibility, but very unlikely, of us pulling out Fatima.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I think both Rabelais and Gargantua and Pantagruel are very well-known and I can remember hearing toss-ups on both throughout high school. Now if you had asked about Alcofribas Nasier, the pseudonym he had used, that may have been pushing it for a novice set. I'm sure it would've been converted by t...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Oh, the spect-auk-ular memories from doing this back when I was in High School. I remember we always got out of class for like 2-3 periods and sometimes got pizza. The shouting was quite fun too

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Aaron I was referring to such a scenario as what happened my Sophomore year. We had went pretty far into big school playoffs, then got eliminated. After a victory against our A-Team, eliminating them, we played Danville. We had an advantage in the match and had we won we would've won the Small Schoo...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

NAQT does advantages at Nationals for the Championships of both Large and Small Schools and also in most State NAQT Championships, I'm not sure if those were the only two scenarios or not. Advantages are more common than you think, we've used them a few times here in Bama for various tourneys. Most ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Figured I'd post the results from the LBW-Greenville Tourney 1st-Snead 10-0 2nd-NACC 9-1 3rd-NW Florida - 8-2 Pensacola JC also came to the tournament. I must say I was very impressed by NW Florida's performance, they are a good team. The final with Northeast was very exciting as well, which we narr...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

This seems to be the big question from everyone involved with the CCCT. Early speculation has Mobile as the host city, but that is simply a rumor. I am hoping for Mobile, as Lambert's is on the way :grin: As sad as it is to say, especially living in Alabama, my family has seemingly ALWAYS managed t...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I think this will all get settled at CCCT. Yes it shall. There really is no excuse to be made. We all know that Snead beat us at Faulkner without their best player, and that does point towards Snead's ability. In our defense, it was our worst round of the day and the things tossed up that round jus...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

The 2009 SCT deserves an honorable mention, at least. It was a pretty damn well written tournament, with only one or two difficulty outliers (the tossup on Miklos Horthy comes to mind.) I also thought it was among the best copy-edited tournaments, and had few issues playing it while running a fever...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I would like to see HSNCT hosted somewhere in the Southeast as well. I remember that when I was in high school, our team did not receive enough sufficient funds to travel to Chicago. We did fundraising, but the fundraising only helped to pay the costs of tournament fees around the area. I think it ...

With the help of Stan Young (again!), I'll try to get something up here from Bevill soon. That would be excellent. I e-mailed Mr. Scott seeing if he may have gotten a copy. If so, I'll have him forward them to you if practical. EDIT:He may not have gotten a copy, I'm not sure if they send a copy to...
