In both cases, it is believed that Student X got the questions after playing the tournament, and then proceeded to pass it along to the person involved in the cheating, perhaps with a middleman in between. It is important to note that there is not necessarily a coordinated effort to cheat here - the...

In my capacity as head editor and mirror site coordinator for LIST IV, I have a couple of things to add to Grace's post concerning Joanna Li of La Jolla High School.

In lieu of a dramatic general loosening of eligibility restrictions, would it be possible to provide hosts with base eligibility rules similar to that of last year's, and have them run any possible changes by you (in the vein of what Ankit is saying)?

I'm not sure how you get a G/N ratio in a format with no negs.

Probably because you're keeping track of negs yourself and counting "incorrect buzzes" as negs.

2) and it's a general NHBB thing: why can't there be a more crystal clear way of a moderator distinguishing right answers from wrong answers in the 60 second round? There was an instance where it led toward a question answer being spoiled on the bounce back, and it overall is confusing when trying ...

Yes, but we don't call HSNCT/NSC/ICT/Nats the Quiz Bowl, and nor do we call the game played with a strangely shaped "ball" Foot Ball.

Stats are posted here . Note that in the combined stats, Panda Express is listed as 4th, but they actually took 2nd. This is because one of their prelims losses was to a team that did not make the top bracket, and thus did not carry over. I believe this can also be remedied by switching a couple of...

Was it just me, or was there an extraordinary number of answerlines on colors? (Blue, red x2, white x2 if you count "white people," Black Sea, perhaps others.) There were answerlines that came up in multiple categories but with different information. (I think I heard Egypt and maybe China...

That first line seems way too easy. I think even Hugh Selwyn Mauberley is less read than Ars Poetica and the "palpable and mute" line is literally the first line of Ars Poetica so it's immediately recognizable. I can see an argument for moving the Hugh Selwyn Mauberley clue earlier, and i...

In theory yes. All that you are saying in regards to prepping for HSNCT is correct. In defense of my staff, we had some slower rooms due to a few of the moderators (all of whom did a great job by the way) being less experienced than the ideal situation you are describing. When we can host this on a...

Looking at the stats, I noticed that there were a decent number of games that had less than 20 tossups heard, so I did some analysis, and got the following results: (Note: this is only from the games on packets that all teams were guaranteed to play) 32% of the games had less than 20 tossups read, w...

Did you cut out the word "dunes" in the second sentence of the coastline tossup? Northmont buzzed somewhere around there, and negged with "dunes", but I can't remember exactly. Could I see the interphase tossup in round 12? I was unsure if it was looking for "G2" or som...

Overall, I thought this set was very well-written, except for the criticisms brought forth by other writers, and except for the bonuses of the first four rounds.

One thing I like about Sound cloud is that you can add comments/tags to specific times in the recording, so that could be used to mark which teams/topics/regions are being introduced at which time.
