As in the past, I'll be directing an easy St. Louis area summer open tournament at Washington University in St. Louis. We're going to have an academic tournament using the IMSANITY set as well as a trash tournament using the Ottawa Hybrid set. We're currently in the process of finalizing a date, so ...

I'll play this.

I think this is the single most important project that quizbowl needs - a surehanded way to conduct text searches of every single packet in the last 10 years. This should not be as hard as we've made it. Wasn't there a pre-programmed Google search of the packets in quizbowlpackets.com available as ...

For the "volatility" question, on the other hand, it was clear from about line two that what was wanted was some concept of variability, but I had no idea what word to say, even after the giveaway. Volatility is actually a pretty well defined concept in finance; I haven't seen the questio...

This for me too.

Any additional news about an HSNCT mirror of this?

The person who's riding with me should email me at [email protected].

Hey Billy, I sent you a registration email a while ago, as well as some followup information.

Regionals information seems to be there as well, just not on the summary page.

Has a date been picked for the Illinois mirror yet?

The bonus part that has "eye washing station" was troublesome for us. We knew the idea is to have your eyes washed out in the event foreign materials get in, our answer was to the effect of "eye washing shower" and wasn't taken. Is the 'station' part really necessary for the ans...

Round 6, Bonus 8:

The Zero wasn't a jet; you can just take that word out of the bonus.

Shouldn't "Nationalist Party" be acceptable for KMT?

There doesn't seem to be any way to type in the spreadsheet.

I've decided to take a year off from school, so I'm not going to be playing for WUSTL this year. I'm still finishing my degree at St. Charles CC, so I might play a couple of tournaments for them.

Sorry if this throws off the poll and/or anyone's Fantasy lineup.

Stats: Preliminaries - Playoffs- Combined

Because we did not carry over preliminary games into the final standings, the playoff stats reflect the final standings (minus the final).

Charbroil

WUSTL A (Richard Yu) took first; Tamil Tiger Mothers (Ben Zhang, Kisan Thakkar, Jialin Ding) took second after having to leave without playing a final. Richard was the top scorer, Ben was second. Stats will be forthcoming.

Charbroil

We got an extra staffer, so we've expanded the field to 14 teams.

Charbroil

The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi wrote:(I'm asking this because we already have enough people going for 2 teams, and might get enough for 3 teams) So the next team that registers would need to bring a staffer along, correct?

That is indeed correct.

Charbroil

Since we're at about 12 teams now, the field is tentatively closed. If you still want to attend and can bring additional staff, let us know soon.

The Washington University Academic Team will be hosting a mirror of the Michigan Fall Tournament (MFT) on October 5th, 2013. I, Charles Hang, will be serving as the Tournament Director.

So it's been over three months since anyone from Maryland said anything about Terrapin on the boards, and the last we heard from Berkeley was an intra-team disagreement. Is Terrapin happening? Which Maryland people would be editing? Is there still desire for WIT to exist? Would the two events want ...

As far as I'm aware, Robert Dudley was never Earl of Warwick, but rather Earl of Leicester.

Could you post this? Also, if someone could post the entire set, that would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, I'd also like to hear about the history I wrote. My major issue was that there seemed to be quite a bit of military history. Looking at the list of answers, a little less than a third of the tossups were on military answers and about another third had military history clues. (I don't ...

Gordon and I are still looking for teammates, and I already wrote a packet for the first deadline, so anyone who ends up not having time to write a packet is welcome to join us. Just email me at [email protected]

I'd also enjoy this, but I think there's a preexisting side event for the Missouri mirror of Missouri Open.

In more logistical news: Matt Jackson has informed me that there are currently 17 teams signed up here . I don't think we can handle any more teams than that, so I'd like to impose a soft cap there. So, there seem to be two team signup spreadsheets, the one which Rob Carson posted earlier in this t...

I agree with Marnold; I think having bouncebacks at any "good" college tourney would kill most to all upset potential. The concept of a "clutch buzz," one of the most exciting aspects of any close game (even the rare one between top- and mid-tier teams) would be rendered nearly ...

Is there a projected date for the rescheduled version of this (and, presumably, VCU Open)?

I might just not have seen it, but are the packets posted?

Characteristic features overlying these structures include palsas, pingos, and sand-wedge polygons. So-called "drunken trees" result when these structures produce slumping thermokarst terrains. The namesake tables of these regions form the bottom surfaces of active layers, which can under...

Results: 1/ Tamil Tiger Mothers 2/ WUSTL 3/ Sparkle Motion 4/ The Pancyclopaedic Pandas Richard (WUSTL) was the top scorer, followed by Max and Ben from Tamil Tiger Mothers, respectively.

I've updated the attending list to remove WKU; Tamil Tiger Mothers, if you're going to be attending this tournament, you need to let me and Richard know.

Like I said, could whoever has our buzzer control box email or message me? I can start emailing people I identify in the pictures, but I doubt the nine people who'd be getting superfluous emails just so I can reach the right person would want that. Since I have the rest of WUSTL's sets, prompt conta...
