There is a famous sunken road at Antietam ...Bloody Lane (it has the same problem of being named after the battle, but it would be a nice clue for an A-series question on the bloodiest battle of the Civil War), These are the same thing. Antietam had the bloodiest single day. The bloodiest battle wa...

Yep. We hope to see you there!

It is now official! We have approval to host a tournament at Caesar Rodney! The tournament will be held on either the 3rd of 4th Saturday of April (the 17th or 24th). We decided to go with April to sufficiently avoid any other DE tournament, and to hopefully avoid any overlapping of HSAPQ sets with ...

With all due respect to Ed, but the Westchester leagues are Chip territory. I do not think that you will have too great a conclict should you cross-schedule. (Excepting St. Joe's, of course!) We at Seton Hall Prep are always looking for a tournament! All the more reason to try and get these teams t...

I cannot speak for other New Jersey schools, but Charlie is right in suggesting that we give you specific dates to help you with your planning, so, here goes. Saint Joe's has been in two leagues in Westchester county since 1995, and our leagues have already scheduled January 31st and February 6th f...

I suppose you could buy the same set. CR seems to be specifally targeting DE schools. To be clear, one of our hopes is to try and expand good quizbowl in DE, and we would love for many DE teams to compete, but that however does not mean that we don't want other teams to compete as well. We would li...

This is the announcement for the Caesar Rodney Rider Bowl, at Caesar Rodney High School in Camden Delaware. The tournament will be held on April 17th, 2010. We would like to hold the opening meeting at 8:45am (meaning all teams should be signed in by that time), and all rounds should start at 9:00am...

Dunbar was really deep this year. Simply put, they had two of the top 4 (could argue top 3) teams in the state of KY this year, and will probably be pretty good next year (on a national level) with the people they have coming back from the top two teams. If Dunbar A faltered even a little bit, Dunb...

Sports teams skip finals for their playoffs all the time. Quiz bowlers should do likewise, unless they think quiz bowl is a joke. Only about 15 of the teachers were at my brothers graduation on Saturday (in a school of 2000+ students). I seriously hope that you aren't suggesting that the CR quiz bo...

Self-incompatibility in plants

I honestly think mixing and matching state teams won't help all that much, except in cases almost extreme imbalance, like maybe a very good science player from TJ joining Gov. The natural advantage I think will go to teams that have a pretty good chance of remaining intact, like Hunter or State Col...

Michigan also has an active quizbowl program too. Not to be somewhat biased, but Michigan is also not a bad state either. This year was sort of a weird year for Michigan, as only 33 and 1/3 percent of the teams who participated from Michigan made it to the playoffs at HSNCT, that isn't really indic...

I definitely project VA to win. The combined forces of Gov and TJ will be hard to beat (let alone if the team was made only of Gov players). PA with State College, NY with Hunter (perhaps even some Kellenberg players), DC with Matt and the St. Anselm players, and Md, with the many notable players fr...

I'm very interested in playing this, and almost certainly not with CR (meaning I'm on the hunt for a team, if anyone will have me).

Caesar Rodney: This bunch traveled widely this year, and won a few games against lesser teams after wild-card bids got them into both nationals. Though this year they proved to be decent-to-OK, they're not graduating anyone major and have another year to keep traveling. Trey already puts up impress...

It was really a ceremonial thing recognizing how much better you guys have gotten over the year- besides, once you get down to 25, it's much harder to differentiate between teams. Thanks, Isaac.

I think NAQT is right in including both, and would gain nothing by removing Sports or Pop Culture questions to replace them with more Fine Art. Fine, but do you also agree in NAQT having more Pop Culture (not even including sports) than Fine Arts? The general issue that people have with the distrib...

The games in that room ran behind because most of them got started late as I tried to enter stats in between rounds, and was a bit slower than my normal speed owing to my lack of sleep.

I suppose it was pyramidal and not a bad tossup per se; I was just confused about whether the answer was well-known after it went dead (and was very glad that it turned out not to be a tossup on Ann Coulter).

Chris, I think the issue that Mr. C expressed concern over was not for the sake of our team. We as a team felt the difficulty wasn't terribly unreasonable, and relished the opportunity to practice for our National competitions. However, roughly half of the teams there are not going to any such tourn...

Ha, that's the best part, it's like CR can pretty much guarantee a player on this since, for Delaware, only us and Charter actually do anything in the state. Yay! Kinda.

That was my tossup... Where was the neg? What clue was it on? I would not look too much into, Ian. The person who got the neg was rather green, since he has only been coming to practice for a few weeks or so. Also, he buzzed in/around the first line, I think, so he did not have much to go off of, s...

Not that we are in the same area as you guys at GDS, Whitman, and St. Anslems, but we tried to do a similar thing at CR this year.

I did not mean to sound like I was favoring one style over another. Everyone has their own playing style. Perhaps Tommy should be more aggressive. People must decide how to best play. Look at Daichi.
