BrainBusters Fall is being held on December 7th, not November 9th.
EDIT: It's also probably worth adding that the Rochester Area NHBB competition will be held on February 8th, 2014.

Re: Foreign-language answers
Although I'm a competitor and not a reader, if I was a reader, I would probably believe in strict interpretation of the answer line. So if someone answered Ivan Grozny, which I had never heard of as an acceptable name for Ivan the Terrible, I'd probably say that it was wrong. I'm sorry - I didn't k...

Re: Pre-tournament Routines
I wish I had an interesting and quirky pre-tournament routine to share, but I don't. I just eat or drink something and start madly, idiosyncratically bobbing my leg like I always do. .-.

Re: Improving as a geography player?
I memorized all of the world's capitals just because I wanted to, and I have to say it has helped in some situations. I recall getting a Brunei tossup on Bandar Seri Begawan (I didn't know anything else about the country though, haha). I definitely want to learn geography just so I can connect it to...

Re: NJ/NY 2013-2014
I actually did see Bethlehem perform at our NHBB regionals in December - they did really, really well. I was actually quite impressed. I'm sure we can build up a mean friendly rivalry with them. :lol: Their B team of two placed first in the JV level, but I'm sure we can beat them if we work hard eno...

Re: Natl History Bowl Middle School Nationals 5/18-19 (DC/N VA)
Will the set be posted after its use in Europe? No, though it will likely be available for sale once it's been tightened up (meaning the above issue and a few other things are fixed). In other news, I was very happy with how the logistics of this tournament went - everything ran on or ahead of sche...

NHBB middle school
At middle school nationals, there were a couple of typos and badly written questions. For example, in a lightning round, the clue was something like "longest living President, who served in the 70's" and the team answering said "Reagan". Wrong, right? He didn't serve in the 70's! However, the answer...

Re: quizbowldb.com not working
On both Opera and Mozilla Firefox, it seems to work like normal until you try to buzz in. Then, the enter button won't do anything; you can't submit a response. Any amount of waiting won't yield an automatic response either. I don't know what the cause of this is, but I like practicing specific ques...
