Have there been any NAQT tourneys in Illinois, if so can someone post a link to results?

How does Shady Side's and Cistercian's team this year compare to last year's?

vcuEvan

There were other examples of unpyramidalness. The only one I remember off the top of my head started something like: This chief god of Babylonian mythology did blah blah... A: Marduk The reason the Cry the Beloved Country questions was edited out was probably a bonus on the Kumalo family in another ...

Great job running this tournament Matt. There were very few delays and the 14 rounds were finished quickly. Matt read and did stats and directed the tournament and did a great job while never leaving his chair. I had a great time and played some great games, especially with the people from Maryland....

vcuEvan

OK looked through it again. Just those two teams are in error.

vcuEvan

I'm glad you got these up fairly quickly, but there seem to be some errors with points per bonus. Bonus heard isn't equaling 10s+15s for a lot of the teams, which is throwing off points per bonus heard.

vcuEvan

Grosse Point North was definately good, they did beat us and Richard Montgomery. However, they lost to Lafayette, Bentley, and Brookwood, who all went 6-4 the first day.

I do think Michigan is strong this year, much stronger than last year, and I look forward to playing them at Nationals.

vcuEvan

State College and TJ are probably just as good as they were last year, RM is weaker but still strong, Gonzaga is stronger, Maggie Walker graduated only one. If you want to count Dorman as East Coast they're truly strong. Stuyvesant, Wilmington Charter, and Raleigh Charter are all good. I think this ...

vcuEvan

Is this the Erik Nielson who was a Maggie Walker alum? I've never heard this story but is sounds funny.

vcuEvan

Out of curiosity, how does this format work?

vcuEvan

While we're critiquing VHSL format.

What is the purpose of the full repeat after each neg. Repeating information that both teams have already heard seems like a waste of time.

vcuEvan

Can the questions from old WUHSACs be purchased and if so for how much?

vcuEvan

Dorman was definitely solid as they had the highest PPG of the prelims. I believe they lost to State College in the semis then Chattahoochee in the third place game.

vcuEvan

I agree with the overabundance of difficult Earth Sci questions. Also random outlaws and Mexican War generals.

vcuEvan

Are you giving away or selling the questions?

vcuEvan

Allen's up by 7000 votes with only 67% of Richmond counted. I predict a recall.

vcuEvan

While I also thought the questions were better than last year's, I did see some problems. For example, one of the questions I got in our semifinal match against State College was almost an exact repeat of an NAQT questions we had practiced on the week before.

vcuEvan

I think Gonzaga and RM are also going to be strong. Also watch out for MLK Magnet and Mounds... both had strong performances at NAQT. I'm not sure how many graduated, but DuPont Manual and Santa Monica were also impressive.

Chris Ray in our semifinal game at PACE:

Piet Mondrian for Albert Pujols

Yep I also got it here. You can here me in the podcast of the first round.

vcuEvan

Me:

Arnolfini for the White Rabbit

Evan Silberman of TJ:

Quisling for blue

vcuEvan

April is the cruelest month.

vcuEvan

I think Evan Silberman of TJ has a great shot at the neg award. If he gets on a roll the negs start flying. :grin: I don't know his name but there's someone on Walter Johnson who has maybe 3 or 4 negs a game. Then there's you (Chris Ray I think) If you get that many questions, you have to neg alot.

vcuEvan

I'm glad that Ocean Lakes is coming now. I've been wanting to play them at NAQTs for a while now.

Does anyone have complete, or at least better results?

vcuEvan

Wow! Lakeside is 2nd. Never even heard of them. Amazing job, never heard of any quizbowl power in Washington. They beat some excellent teams in doing this too.

vcuEvan

A whole lot of practice and being comfortable with the people on your team.

Very... Virginiaish...

Are there any qualifications for national tournaments (Pace, NAQT)

vcuEvan

How many teams make the playoffs. If remember last year was 32 but it doesn't look like that this year.

vcuEvan

When can we expect full stats from this tournament?

vcuEvan

Maggie Walker A defeated TJ A in the final game. Don't know much more.
