I plan to play this. I'll mostly contribute newer stuff and some 90s West Coast.

I've finished a packet for this. I may would be interested in writing another half-packet with someone since there is still plenty of time before these will be read.

The Favourite

I'll definitely write a packet for this. Expect some cool (and a lot of) football and basketball, and probably not so cool everything else.

I just found out that my normal team will be without Peter and Finn since they are studying abroad this summer. This creates a major void in television, trash lit (mostly comics), and video games. If you can fill that void and want to play this tournament, feel free to shoot me a message.

This tournament happened, with an extremely small field. Oklahoma B went undefeated to win the tournament outright.

why are host teams not required to play in order to qualify a team? SCT is difficult enough to staff properly under the current system. Forcing the A team from the host school into the field would make things much worse. Fair enough, but has NAQT ever had a discussion about making the automatic bid...

The Favourite

Note that, as discussed upthread, Chicago possesses all of the logistical requirements to split teams across multiple sites, the devious leadership required to sign off on it, is still livid as a club about our quite good B team getting D-value bubbled last year so that an auto host-bid could go to...

The University of Oklahoma Academic Team is excited to announce that we are hosting the Great Plains mirror of ACF Regionals on Saturday, February 18th, 2017.

Josiah, The easiest ways for me to find people were the incoming freshmen contact list and teaming with a person that works for the school and sending out mass emails. Some students are looking to join clubs because they need it for their CV, and others might think quiz bowl is interesting. As for t...

The University of Tulsa and the University of Texas at Dallas both attended Regionals this past year.

I'll be attending the University of Oklahoma next year, pursuing an MA in Applied Linguistics. I plan on playing still, but plan to TD and staff tournaments more often than I have been able to recently.

EDIT: a quick hour's jaunt to the other side of Oklahoma City will give you the opportunity to see an ancient philosophy class doing the unthinkable .

I'm pretty shitty at high level quizbowl but I'd like to play this tournament. Hit me up if you're interested. I'll be looking for a team too if Caleb goes, since one of us will be the other's ride. I can contribute next to nothing, but you might be surprised by my "lit that no one reads excep...

This project has been put on hold for the time being.

The Favourite

I'll play this if I'm in Chicago that weekend, which is looking like a greater and greater possibility every day. If you're looking for someone that knows sports, rap/top-40 music, or some random trash lit and movies, I'm your guy.

The Favourite

So there were a lot of things that happened last minute out of Caleb's control, but this tournament ran as smooth as could be expected. We were originally supposed to have 12 people playing, and between Wednesday and today we lost four of them, plus he had a moderator call out this morning. On top o...

I am pleased to announce that I am writing TTYL (Trash TraceY Likes), a vanity trash packet on stuff that I, Tracey Hickman, enjoy. The tournament is on pace to be playable by the summer of 2016.

I vote we play either Eyes or Christmas Present or both after this

Thank you to everyone who attended or helped staff today's tournament. Our Division I Champion was the University of Missouri-Columbia, and Truman State won the undergraduate title.

I'd like to point out that Oklahoma, who received no votes in the preseason poll, put up 19.81 PPB at Penn Bowl. They should be on your ballots, folks. Scrimmaging against this team and seeing them fairly often, I can also say that even the Penn Bowl PPB is skewed. They were playing without their F...

So when most people see this post, it will have been 2 weeks since we were told it was a week before we would get an update. This is ridiculous. It is DECEMBER, and we have yet to hear about any sites for Sectionals. How on earth are teams supposed to budget for what is easily the most-attended tou...
