Straight up highest PPB. So, yeah, it's theoretically possible that the two teams would come from the same bracket (although this would probably indicate that pool seeding was done poorly). Although what Garb said is possible, it's quite unlikely, no? It definitely happens http://www.ihssbca.org/st...

BGSO

I think Nolan is alluding to the posibility of a team with a low record and a low TU count. It's feasible a team could have such a small sample size that their PPB could eclipse a team with 3-4 more wins than them.

If you think your kids are posting poorly then tell them not to post; people do it all of the time in Georgia and Texas.

I'm fully aware that the sheer volume of powers gotten is in fact what is so impressive William. I am simply repeating an adage I learned from a much wiser man who is absolutely right - whining about power placement is pretty worthless, because ultimately what clue the power is placed after is pret...

Yes, a right answer is worth 1 point and a wrong answer is 0.

Don't blame ICS for your technical incompetency.

Obviously if a team is dodging administration then they should be allowed to use them .

I personally disagree. I feel that if teams use pseudonyms, and the weren't told they specifically couldn't use the, then the host school should ask the team if it would be alright to post the stats without their pseudonyms present. Why should permission have to be asked?! Besides a trivial amuseme...

WOO QUIZBOWL!

BGSO

Depending on where this falls in accordance to nationals we might be able to make this happen.

BGSO

I have just been informed that this tournament has been granted Platinum certification by PACE, this means that the top 6 teams have qualifed for the 2011 PACE NSC. Congratulations to Stevenson, DCC A, Loyola, DCC B, St. Ignatius, and Carbondale you all did a great job this weekend and I can't wait ...

Stevenson beat DCC 370-365 in the first game of an advantaged final to win the tournament. Prelims: http://results.scobo.net/SQBS.aspx?org=uiucacademicbuzzerteam&id=1&page=standings Playoffs: http://results.scobo.net/SQBS.aspx?org=uiucacademicbuzzerteam&id=2&page=standings Combined: ...

Eureka's out and St. Ignatius B is in.

BGSO · Re: UIUC ABT Earlybird (10/23/2010) This tournament is now PACE affiliated.

This tournament is now PACE affiliated.

BGSO

Loyola B is confirmed and the field's soft cap has now been reached.

I still highly encourage teams to try to field B teams so that we can reach 24.

David

BGSO

Pending Loyola having 1 or 2 teams this field has one more spot, or is closed. I highly encourage more teams to sign up/teams already signed up to field B-teams so that we may open the field to 24 teams.

BGSO

It was really cool to have every active Big Ten school at this tournament (well, if you don't count Penn State and Iowa, but that's pretty debatable). . An announcement of this sort should be coming as soon as some more information is acquired by the involved parties (sorry this came off so vague.)

BGSO

This field is rapidly approaching 18 teams. On that note, I highly encourage teams to try to field B-teams so that we may expand the field to 24 teams.

BGSO

This tournament will be held in the English building. Coaches should expect an email within the next few days asking for information regarding registration. We are still hoping for more teams, 2 more can fit in the main field and the rest will go on the wait list.

BGSO

This tournament will now have a soft cap of 18 teams. That means that once/if I reach 18 teams then new teams registering will be put on a wait list until 5 teams are on the wait list, then those teams will be admitted to a field and it will be a 24 team tournament.

BGSO

With the official addition of Stevenson that now means that, according to the HSQB poll, we now have the #7, #12, and #21 teams attending this tournament. More top teams are rumored to be signing up so no one should miss this opportunity to play some of the best teams in the country.

BGSO

I just submitted some type of paperwork to be sanctioned by the MSHSAA so hopefully some MO teams can make it out here on the 23rd to play some quizbowl.

BGSO · Re: UIUC ABT Earlybird (10/23/2010) More teams!

You should all come to this.

IL Adlai Stevenson - Kevin & Zach Auburn - Lloyd, Abid, Jordan(?) St. Ignatius - Andrew is back, I believe No on Jordan (off to Johns Hopkins) and yes on Andrew. Other notable returning players include Ben Carbery of OPRF, Greg Dzuricsko of Lisle, and Nolan Winkler of Loyola. Don't forget about...

9:30 ET?

BGSO

I am sorry to report that this tournament is now canceled.

BGSO

My guess is that most of the top teams will be there. There might be some odd coaching situations causing some of the top teams to play under assumed names or miss it, but it's on everybody's radar, and teams looking for good competition will not be disappointed. On that note, any teams who want to...

BGSO

If there isn't another team for this tournament by tomorrow night we will be cancelling it.

BGSO

There will be a house team for this consisting of Sorice/Ike/Craig/ and someone, so those of you that were waiting for a field to develop. Now is your chance.
