Kwang the Ninja wrote:Are we going to see stats for this?

I posted on his facebook wall (Yes I know, great way to get in touch about something important) and he never posted back. Maybe Borglum or Mr. Young, since he uploaded the stats for the main tournament, could e-mail him and see if he couldn't send stats to them?

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Aside from that, the power marks seemed to be placed at appropriate points I disagree in a technical sense. Most of the powers in this tournament were placed at the end of sentences, or before words like "the." In the big picture, perhaps power placement doesn't matter all that much, but ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'll have to agree that this was rather hard for a "regular difficulty tournament." Correct me if I'm wrong (because it has been a month since I've played the set), but it seemed like most of the mythology was very obscure egyptian/babylonian/etc. but then again I'm from Alabama and alot o...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Wait, 18 negs in one round? I don't think they were too happy with the difficulty of the tournament and negged out in protest. (Then again, that tournament seemed to be a little on the hard side for the field in general.) From what I could infer, that is what they did. Having been at the tournament...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Apparently UA is either not doing the tournament or changing the date, count on Snead to help in some capacity. I know that me and Decker will come help, Amanda and Wildman are questionable

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Chipola is definitely the best CC this year. Everyone else is fighting for second. Nothing against the guys at Chipola, but I'll have to respectfully disagree. Do I think Valencia is best? Or Northeast? Or Snead? No, I do not think there is a clear cut "Best" CC team. At the Faulkner Tour...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'll try to remember to e-mail Bobo today and see if he can't post them or send them to someone who could.

EDIT: Assuming Bobo can't upload stats, who should I ask him to send them to?

49-Mile Scenic Drive

They all appear to work except the individual stats. It comes up with an error if I click on the players name

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Jim Sims indicated that there's a good chance CCCT will be in Mobile this year, and I believe at Spring Hill College.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Alright I'll try to get to that soon. On an unrelated note, what is the next tournament for all the Florida teams? We have 1 more tournament left in the semester then Sectionals the first of next semester.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Well after Delta Burke the CC scene is thriving. Chipola is definitely doing well as expected, as is Valencia and Northeast. At the Jasper mirror I learned that Faulkner State and Jeff State are teams very capable of some type of upsetting anyone at any time. I believe there's still a mirror going, ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I figure I could post some results

1st-Snead State (11-0)
2nd-Faulkner State A (10-1)
3rd-Jeff State A (9-2)

49-Mile Scenic Drive

1/23 is during the CC Sectionals but if I remember correctly ours will be the 22nd, so we shouldn't have a conflict.

EDIT: I also remembered that Charlie said Sword Bowl was a possibility in January. I'd hate to have to choose between these two tournaments if they were to occur the same day

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Oh I just remembered one other detail. Most of the other Community College sans us and Northeast may not come due to the tournament being held at LBW in Greenville on the 4th. I say this because as Jeff mentioned earlier there were a few CCs in the field for this tournament before.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I can't commit to this 100% yet, but if we have no set conflicts with ACBL tourneys, you can count on some of Snead to come and help.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Hmmm going to an IS from an A-Series makes me a bit more interested. I'm not sure how great the chances are of that happening though. I also just now realized that this is the same day as the SEC Championship game, although if the game kick-off isn't until late then there shouldn't be an issue with ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I think I speak for everyone at Chipola when I say I would be bored out of my skull playing an A-set. I think this tournament would be good for some CC teams, the ones that were barely breaking 100 on an IS at Faulkner, but after playing ACF Fall and THUNDER and aiming to play some normal difficult...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Maybe he meant to post this in the high school section? There is already a HS tournament at Brindlee Mountain that day, though. If this is for college, Snead would be interested, whether it's just me or my team comes along. However, since it's on the same day as Brindlee Mountain's tournament, we w...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yeah, I heard that Lamar CC from Texas would be going to Bevill. If you encounter them and/or their coach, encourage them to contact me about working to entice other CCs in Texas to get involved with the game. If they have any kind of state activities structure, especially a name or office I could ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Damn that's a bunch of teams. I think Mr. Scott said Bobo was having 17 teams with a possible spoiler team to even it out with 2 brackets of 9, even a team from Texas. Although I won't be playing on Snead's team I got news from Mr. Scott I may be playing on a Spoiler Team!!

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I will send Mr. Scott an e-mail promptly

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I heard that Cord actually outscored Casey at the last tournament. We (Brindlee Mountain) are going to Northeast tomorrow for an all-day scrimmage/practice session with their team. I'm looking forward to seeing just how good they have gotten. Also, I just wanted to say how proud I am of the various...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yeah, we had asked him if he planned on being at Nationals this year and he said yeah if they make it. He said he just "does a semester here and there" but this will be his swan song in the CC division regardless because this will be his 3rd year I believe.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Regretfully I was unable to attend Faulkner but I must say I am proud of Snead for doing as well as they did. I hear the Chipola A (Idk if it was letters or colors) round came down to the final toss-up which our new science guy answered. Nationals should certainly be interesting though, Robert Slade...

Tie a skateboard to the back of NE Alabama's van and get down here, and we'll find a place for you to crash. And I'll let you play for free! On the other hand, you do know it's being mirrored in Jasper, right? Yeah I do know Bobo is mirroring it, but I'm not playing this semester in ACBL. I'm savin...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Dang the field looks nice, I'm seriously going to attempt to make it to this next year even if I have to pay my own travel.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'll post a quick results and let Charlie get the full thing later

Division I:
1st-Alabama
2nd-ULL
3rd-Va.Tech
4th-GPC Division I

Division II
1st-GPC Division II
2nd-Brindlee Reunion a.k.a. Snead State
3rd-Berry
4th-I honestly can't remember but I wanna say Shorter???

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yes Charlie we'll have 1 Division 2 team, but can you call us like "Brindlee Mountain Reunion" or something. Our coach has requested we not use Snead State due to certain complications and the fact he won't be with us. I sent an e-mail to the utc gmail account but you may not have gotten i...

Woo, I may not be the only possible solo team now!!

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Ehh I suppose since I won't be playing tomorrow I'll make some predictions 1st- NEACC in a close game against Chipola 2nd-Chipola 3rd-Snead 4th-Jeff State Although I did put Snead as finishing 3rd I wouldn't be surprised if they upset either Chipola or Northeast (or even both!) If they get hot they ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Might there be a field update posted sometime soon?

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Suffice it to say that one of the teams in Alabama that is notorious for doing this is one of the major state competitors over the past few years - and it's not Hoover. That's all I'm going to say about that. If it's who I think it is, which I'm fairly confident it is, they've been doing it since o...

I just remembered one more we had from yesterday

Right Answer: Scrabble
Wrong Answer: Chinese Checkers

It had already mentioned squares of pink, light blue, etc. which led me to make a joke that won't be repeated on this board for fear of being banned

I don't know what I would do without Ethan. I am glad you feel that way Mr. Young. Protip: more quizbowl studying, less hsquizbowl posting. Even on SUNDAYS? :w-hat: Don't worry Borglum, no one has forgotten about the power of Valencia. It is going to be interesting to see how we stack up against Sn...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I'm glad NE plans to come to Delta Burke; we can get a good sense of who's where then. Mark, keep working on your coach to bring y'all down here. And get Bobo to bring Bevill, too. It isn't looking good for us. I don't think we have the funds to buy plane tickets and I don't think Mr. Scott would w...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Ahhh ok I see. The top 6 should definitely be interesting this year then.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

PS: Cord, Tyler, and I are all returning for the 09-10 season. Just thought I'd clear that up. That's all I need to hear to pick Northeast Alabama to at least make the finals and take on either Chipola or Valencia, all of which have serious claims to the championship, with Snead just a half-step be...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

We're going to try to make it to this, I'll shoot you an email once I figure out if we will/won't be coming

The google quizbowl map says Clemson is hosting THUNDER on October 24. Is this true? We don't know yet. If Clemson can host it, they have first priority; if not, we've had other bids from the southeast. We'll announce as soon as we know for sure! Assuming Clemson does host it, will it be the only S...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Regretfully I won't be able to attend this year due to my being broke and not being able to travel too far. Perhaps I or possibly my team could attend if a TN/AL/maybe MS mirror was to occur

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Well if we could somehow raise money or something it's possible we could attend, I'll just have to talk to Mr. Scott and see if we can't work something up

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I would really love to play Delta Burke. We start back Wednesday and I'll see if I can't talk him into it. Ethan was telling me that Chipola was considering a mirror, which in the event would be more accessible to me because I'll be down in the mobile area some touring my future stomping grounds at ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Nice to see one of these threads starting. I can't really comment on the Florida teams but I'm sure the juggernauts of Valencia and Chipola will always be good. As for Alabama, we at Snead actually went from only having 2 people to now having a full team (Miracle) and I think this years team will be...
