Check your email. I think much of this is already done.

Most people pronounce my last name right, but it's two syllables, the last of which is pronounced "-born" as opposed to "-burn."

Deckard Cain

Seriously, though, if this is real, perhaps CBI should consider updating its website to reflect this. This is, indeed, now up at http://www.collegebowl.com/home.asp. I've had some very limited success emailing the people listed as "captain" on CBI's team rosters page about tournaments in ...

I really enjoyed the tournament as well. I do agree with much of what has been posted above, but it really didn't detract from the experience, and it was fun to play with and against a lot of people who are infinitely better players than myself. Much thanks to everyone involved for putting on a good...

I would undoubtedly show up for this as well.

Deckard Cain

I will play as well.

With the no-penalty deadline a couple of days away, here is the current field: "Mystery Team" (1) Truman State (1-2) We don't want anyone to be kept away from this tournament due to finances, so if you need help paying or getting a packet submitted, let me know and we'll work something out.

The best I could do for an email address is email@mshsaa.org. That's apparently the blanket contact, if anyone is interested in shooting off a quick note. My experiences with MSHSAA lead me to believe that an email sent to that address will find its way to the right person. Out of curiosity, did an...

I'm glad to see Oklahoma held their own well in Division 2. Hopefully the Southwest region will continue to improve and begin to remove the stigma of not being able to compete against other regions.

Maybe this isn't the place for this, but if everyone is so frustrated with these questions yet is having trouble with the State organization or the general populace changing to pyramidals all of the sudden or whatever, why don't we ask the question writer to hold themselves accountable?

Edited to address a comment brought to my attention from another board: If NAQT wants to yank our auto bid because of the staffing situation, that is their decision. Up until the week of the tournament, we had sufficient staff. However, when two schools yank their volunteers the week of and three a...

I didn't notice a dearth of minority questions, but maybe that's because the numbers of them were basically what I'm used to. The topics you mention are definitely fair game for questions, and in fact I believe I've heard questions on all of them in the past. And I'll echo Kit Cloudkicker's comments...

I stumbled onto the stats from the OU mirror on their Web site; they can be found here. This was the first non-NAQT tournament I had ever attended, and I enjoyed it greatly. I don't have a copy of the questions on me, but I can only remember one question off the top of my head that struck me as poor...
