Re: Pilatus Discussion
Of the baseball TUs, the 300-win question was a very good one that I negged in the stupidest way possible. The Roy Halladay one seemed overly dominated by statistics aside from the lead-in about President Bush (I got it at the part about him dominating the Detroit Tigers). The rest were fine: I fell...

You expressed those thoughts during the second round of the tourney in a more succint, colloquial way, if I recall.

Re: Pilatus Discussion
Everyone else pretty much has explained this tourney well. I'd just like to say...can we retire "The team was owned by Ray Kroc" as a lead-in for the San Diego Padres?

Re: JECHT Discussion
The only other quibble I guess I have is the slight bits of repetition--while one can perhaps accept the possibility of getting two powers on fairly general Earthbound knowledge (hey, I did!), TWO questions on The Adventures of Lolo, while a kickass game, is probably too much.

Re: Announcement: Minnesota Open, October 18 2008
Wow, apparently I got a 15 in the Maryland game...although looking at the packet, this apparently was a mistake on someone's part because I clearly buzzed in after the power mark. I also thought I played against Carleton, but there are no stats for that game.

Despite the gaffes, I on the whole enjoyed this tournament! Thanks for running it.

Re: JECHT Discussion
This was a terrific series of packets. Well done. I liked the few bones thrown to people like me who never got past 16-bit gaming. I especially liked the audio bonuses, even though I sucked at them. Distribution-wise, I agree that perhaps a different variety of PC gaming could be asked about, and pe...

Re: EFT Discussion
I applaud the usage of comic books and would like to see an all-comic books side event at some point.

I can off-hand think of a Charles Barkley toss-up, for one.

Re: EFT Discussion
I can't comment on science because I do not know it, but as a historian by trade: I thought the history was fairly strong in the packets, asking about well known events with a good pyramidal structure. My only quibble was that I thought the toss-up about the Frontier Thesis should have prompted on &...

Re: MO Trash: The Rob Pilatus Memorial Tournament - 10.19.08
I'm now on the Minnesota house team (whose official name I can't remember but surely has something to do with cars/positronium), so I am no longer a free man but a number.

Re: EFT Discussion
This was a great tournament for a collegiate novice like me. I thought overall the difficulty was of a reasonable level. Thanks to those in charge of putting it on. As a dork, I appreciated the comic book questions, even though two X-Men questions, I admit, are pushing it. How about a question on Ob...
