I agree with John Gilbert that I should have also thanked Chris Ray for the extensive training that allowed us to improve our question set.
Years ago, he and others offered to help. He delivered.... big time.

Hi. I appreciate all the recent posts. We are seriously committed to improving our tournament in future iterations. I want to share the secret of how we obtained so many "new" teams. We sent fliers by snail mail to EVERY high school in the Baltimore, Annopolis, and DC area (about 180). Of ...

Hi everyone, Thanks to all of you who participated in the tournament. Sorry for some of the confusion at the end, but we were unaware that so many teams had left. Next year we hope to have a better system for the rounds after lunch. Unfortunately, the individual statistics program did not work well....

The question set is written, but is still being actively edited with new versions based on test playing and most importantly by major re-edits. Chris Ray has gone line by line in 3 of our packets so far, and we have implemented his suggestions almost to the letter. This has forced us to revise and r...

My reply to Aiden and Charlie, I will be seeing several of the "posters" who offered to help this weekend at the College Park Tournament. I will ask for their help in editing. We would welcome combining with a house-written set from another region also. We really want to create a high qual...

These are representative questions that I’ve edited. Last year’s set is not applicable. The team ran a TV question (It’s Academic) style tournament last year. The team is under new management. This is the start of my 2nd year. We are trying to spread the gospel of traditional quiz bowl in an area (B...

Hi, I e-mailed a sample set to your school e-mail. I am a new coach (just started last year) and our set from last winter was in a TV question format. We are returning to a quiz bowl format and we hope to "convert" or introduce this format to the many "first-time" Baltimore/Howar...
