As with the rest, thank you for running this smoothly, Buffalo! Always fun to play against schools we don't see very often as well in CMU and Brockport.

This happened. After a round robin, Ottawa went 8-1, with Jordan and Jay at 7-2 as well as Waterloo-Aayush. Waterloo then defeated the Hero Twins in a tiebreaker. Ottawa defeated Waterloo in the first game of an advantaged final to win the tournament. Thank you to everyone at Waterloo for hosting an...

Thanks to Mac for running this smoothly today! It should be noted that Carleton finished 4th, as they were in the top bracket. Waterloo won the D2/UG crowns - note to the ACF deities that the individual that rendered them ineligible for those prizes (when they were registering) was unable to attend ...

Jordan Palmer-less Ottawa says hello.

This happened. Alberta A went 8-0 in the round robin and then defeated Ottawa (7-1) in the first game of an advantaged final. Jordan Palmer was top scorer, followed closely by Trevor Davis, Sinan Ulusoy and Brendan McKendy. The stats are available here: http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1650 ...

I'm coming to Buffalo for this, even if it means I'm soloing the tournament. This may have something to do with getting to go to the Bills-Jets game on the Sunday :smile: As I understand it, Jordan and Jay are going to the Alabama site, possibly with someone from UT. But they'll be better able to cl...

This looks absolutely fascinating. One question on the distribution: are the 2/2 on International PES and International Culture about anywhere in the world (i.e., there can be an additional Latin America or Middle East question that comes out of the international distribution, and so on) or focused ...

Logistics: This tournament will be happening Sunday in the Lamoureux (LMX) Building, the same building that we held our Minnesota Open mirror in. A campus map is available here: http://www.uottawa.ca/maps/ We will be meeting in the morning in Lamoureux 221 - please arrive by 9:00 AM (#9amsharp) so w...

So I realize this probably isn't happening (unless good things have happened since your last update Zach? Please?), but is DRAGOON still happening at UB? I don't see a thread for it to sign up...

Is this supposed to mean, for instance, that the Oct. 6 no penalty deadline becomes Sept. 29 or Oct. 13?

We will bring a TBD number of teams. Probably 2, but will confirm closer to the date.

The University of Ottawa Trivia Club is pleased to announce a mirror of Penn Bowl 2013 on Sunday, October 27, 2013. This is the day after Carleton's mirror of Michigan Fall Tournament (http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14805), so come get two tournaments for one trip to the Nation...

I think you generated the stats in an old version of Mac SQBS (the wacky tables in the details page). I'm not at my main computer today to check if the latest version fixed that, but I'll know tomorrow. Anyway, thanks to the organizers, writers, and participants for the tournaments. It appears to b...

The stats for VCU Open are available here: http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1595/ For Geography Monstrosity, we had eight teams. These were split into two pods of four, and each team played all the other teams in their pod. On the final (fourth) packet, we played off each team against the te...

Congratulations to the team of Patrick Liao, Ben Smith, Aaron dos Remedios and Jennifer for going a perfect 10-0 to win our mirror of VCU Open. The teams of Huma Zafar and Brendan McKendy, and the Ottawa house team tied for second at 6-4. Jay Misuk defeated myself in the final of Geography Monstrosi...

Because of difficulties with room bookings over the summer, our rooms are split between the FSS building and the University Centre; fortunately, thes...

We're bringing one team and one buzzer set from uOttawa.

I'll be coming down with a to-be-determined number of others from Ottawa, more info to follow when I have it. We should also have one buzzer set.

Euler's Constant wrote:Could you post the price index toss up

I'll second this request, and also request the tossup on exchange rates.

In packet 11, tossup 3 on France refers to the country having a right-wing movement (the Front national) led by Jean-Marie Le Pen - in 2011 he gave up the leadership and it is now held by his daughter, Marine Le Pen.

Toronto won this tournament after a round-robin ended with a three-way tie between Toronto, Waterloo and Ottawa A, each at 6-2. After seeding by PPB, Toronto beat Waterloo in the 2 v. 3 game, and then beat Ottawa in the final. Congrats to Toronto, and thanks very much to Carleton for a splendid job ...

With thanks to Rico at UT for emailing the files to me.

Can someone please post the stats from this?

I would just like to reiterate that which I have already told some teams and administrators already...as of right now, despite there being a hefty amount of snow on the ground, McMaster will still be hosting the tournament tomorrow. Our field remains the same, Ottawa is en route (so far as I can te...

Do Canadians who go to Buffalo for football qualify? (also up for this)

There will be one Ottawa team coming to this tournament.

One Ottawa team, one set of buzzers.
