Are there any plans to have a Skype mirror of this?

Also SUN in Florida.

Jumping on the EFT stats bandwagon, it looks like EFT at WUSTL and Youngstown state are not yet included. Note that Will Mason is spending the semester at Tennessee (where he will be playing quiz bowl), so our stats for EFT and Terrapin aren't predictive of our Nationals results. Our Nationals A te...

There are also a lot of great writers out there who haven't been "discovered" yet so to speak. If you get a few experienced editors (I'd say one for each major category of Lit, Science, History, and Fine Arts) and a bunch of newish but motivated writers, I think you could produce some goo...

Will there be a link to the Google form results to see the fields at each site, as there has been for ACF events in the past?

I finally read Midnight's Children this year after years of hearing quizbowl tossups on Salman Rushdie. For what it's worth, quizbowl tossups never seem to do the quality of a book justice-I really enjoyed the book (and now own The Satanic Verses and Haroun and the Sea of Stories because Rushdie is...

Thank you to whoever sent me copies of Brideshead Revisited and To the Lighthouse!

Will you be holding an ACRONYM mirror at HSNCT and/or NSC again this year, or will your plans be limited to the sites already listed?

We're currently in the first round of this.

Will Mason won't make it either, so we have an opening for today.

This might be a stretch, but there have to be some cities where there are a lot of players who are local when out of school. Something like a winter break or summer break tourney, and you forsake your school team and form one with the kids around you? I mean, it's not exactly a great plan, but it w...

Since no one has announced any results for this yet, here are some initial results: WUSTL A beat Missouri C in the first round of an advantaged final to win the tournament as well as the Undergraduate championship. WUSTL B came in 3rd and was the top Division II and 2nd Place Undergraduate team. I'm...

I've edited this question pretty heavily since the time of discussion, but here it is in its current form: 12. In one stage of this event, high levels of inhibin lead to selection of a single structure known as its Graafian type. High levels of prolactin production suppresses a hypothalamic hormone...

1/ One of my teammates buzzed in with "magic" for the alchemy tossup at the Hermes Trismegistus clue; should the tossup have a prompt on that? Obviously, all of the previous clues point unambiguously to alchemy, but I was wondering if alchemy should be considered a subset of magic. Possib...

Also, in Packet 8, stoßtruppen should be acceptable (or at least promptable) for "stormtroopers."

To those who played this set, what is everyone negging Adonis with and are there any misleading or incorrect clues? It's had an abnormally high neg rate at every single site so far. I can't speak for anyone else, but one of my teammates negged this question with Perseus on the clue about being lock...

Can we also get the links to the other results you posted earlier? It would be nice to see question by question game results for each site, assuming there's no issue with that.

Charbroil

I may be making some sort of mistake, but I don't see any question by question stats (or answer lines at all). I only see "Instructions for TD," "Rosters," "Moderators," "Schedule," and "Meta" under the tabs, and none of those tabs have any informati...

One of our players who's off-campus is Skyping into our practices this semester. I just bring a tablet and videocall that person using on it using Skype. Since the tablet has a camera and I prop it up against something, you even have a little bit of the social element of practices since the person c...

Our A team is almost certainly going to be me, Patrick Butenhoff, Seth Ebner, and Will Mason.

I'd play an in-person mirror of this at Illinois or an online one.

Friendly reminder: I'm a Canadian citizen. So is our WUSTL third scorer Will Mason. I'm not sure how serious this poll is, but I guess I'll talk him up briefly. This year, he regularly got about 30 PPG on regular difficulty sets and nearly 20 PPG at both Nationals, even though he's essentially a hi...

First of all, sorry for taking so long to post in this thread. I've been busy with work and a variety of other things.
