Stats for the finals are listed instead of Hunter A's tiebreaker against Dunbar A.

D'oh. I'll fix this as soon as I can get the stats for the game from Donald.

Dan Goff should have what I was given with regards to tiebreakers and whatnot.

Just shot you an email about this.

According to this VHSL calendar, this year it will be Feb 25.

It's probably worth adding this, and the district (Jan 28) and region (Feb 11) deadlines to the master calendar.

Apologies for the delay in getting this up before today, but here are the combined stats.

All the errors mentioned have been corrected.

Done.

The Goffman Prophecies

Thanks - these will be taken care of. I also noticed that the Dunbar A - Torrey Pines game was also incorrectly carried over instead of Dorman B - Torrey Pines. Donald is fixing these and we will get them uploaded.

Depending on your campus layout, even teams with middling programs can have football games that totally screw things up. Minnesota's football stadium being so close to campus would raise some red flags in the hosting of tournaments (although we have hosted some smaller scale tournaments on game day...

The Goffman Prophecies

Thanks everyone; these errors will be fixed and there will be a combined set of stats generated for the entire tournament. Look for them later this week.

This was corrected and updated playoff stats have been posted.

The superplayoff stats are also now posted.

Any word on when the rest of the stats will be ready?

Playoff statistics are up now; superplayoffs likely won't be ready until tomorrow night.

Donald has passed along statistics for the preliminary rounds - they are linked on the results page as well

When will the official final standings be released, because the "Results" link on the PACE website just goes to the PACE homepage? Dan Goff says this will be fixed when we get to his house sometime late tonight. We're currently only able to get online on our phones. I crashed immediately ...

Virginia Tech is working on a packet as we speak. I'll know tonight if we have enough to take you up on your offer.

The Goffman Prophecies

One of the things that I've noticed from writing in the past is that I'm a terribly slow writer when it comes to putting questions together, especially tossups. It's part of the reason that I haven't done a lot of writing up to this point. Obviously I'll get better as I write more questions, but wha...

I'm stretched pretty thin time-wise, but I'm probably long overdue for starting on my writer's kit.

I'm told that Maryland A defeated VCU on tossup 20 of a one-game final to win the tournament.

Why does the time of my previous post say 2:30pm? It's not even 2:30 EST yet here. Did the hsqb time zone get changed to Guyana? I'm pretty sure the HSQB timestamps never un-adjusted from DST.

I seriously doubt VT will be sending a team, but I will likely be willing to lend my moderating abilities to this event.

I'm sure there exists a team in the Northeast that could supply someone who knows how to do stats, but really, it's not very hard. If you have 15 minutes to spend on IM/the phone, any number of people (including myself) would happily teach you everything there is to know about doing stats. In fact,...

My team of myself, Brice Russ and Chris Wieder is looking for a fourth. Looking especially for someone with strength in recent video games, comics, and film of all decades.

The QuizWizard II (aka The Knot) also allows play for either 3 or 4 teams of 4 (depending on the model) and displays who buzzed in first, second, and third.

The drawback is that there are no lights, and the moderator has to announce who buzzed. Very time-consuming for timed matches.

VHSL announced results from Regions I & II - New Kent and Poquoson from Region I and Charlottesville and Western Albemarle from Region II.

Anybody have any lead on what's happened in Region B, Region I & II or the Northwest Region?

I'm heading to Virginia Tech this fall to finish my undergrad work in Geography. After that, grad school to study meteorology at some as-yet-unknown location.
