Who's going to Kaneland?

Brief results: 1. Bloomington A 2. OPRF 3. Wheaton North A 4. Carbondale I believe (as in, I'm 99% sure Mr. Reinstein contacted Dr. Chuck about it) that these four teams now qualify for PACE.

Okay even though I told myself I was not going to get into another discussion on here... What if when you are writing questions you use a breakdown of question types.. such as 4 science, history, lit, 3 fine arts, etc. Then make sure that all of the coaches knew ahead of time what the breakdown of ...

I'll take credit (blame, more like) for the bad Back to the Future bonus. IIRC, I had just finished watching one of the movies (and it's quite possibly my favorite trilogy of all time) so I felt keen to write a question. A better choice would have been to write a bonus about the characters, because ...

It appears no one posted the WN results yet.

1. St. Ignatius
2. Maine South
3. Wheaton North
4. Libertyville

St. Ignatius only had three players.

AND, current events is a realy category......unlike certain others: to paraphrase my colleague Mr. Laird, when you correctly answer a pop culture quesiton, a puppy dies.... :cry: I resent that. I'm quite happy with my three-peat. I'm especially happy with it, considering it's all I really have to b...

Trevkeeper

I was.

Trevkeeper

Yeah, I played lots of frisbee. I was on your tournament team the first night, I think. I distinctly remember you saying the real name of Grandma Moses and being ruled in correct.

Trevkeeper

Greg's right about the luck aspect. Last year I lost my first match (to a teammate, nonetheless), and somehow won the next 6. And then, like everyone else, got obliterated by Robert Sale in the final. I don't pretend to have any idea as to how I'll Saturday. I'm too busy being worried about Pertussis.

Trevkeeper

Chip Beale's, I assume. I thought Mr. Egan went as a spectator last year, I might be wrong.

... Also, don't elephants have several different kinds of teeth... and wouldn't they be of different sizes? To defend that question, it did ask the weight of an elephant's molar. I ought to kick you off my team for defending that, you tool! I agree, that's quite possibly the most awful I have ever ...

Trevkeeper

Yeah, frisbee was really really fun. I need to get one of those ones with the bluelights. Not like it will make me any better at Ultimate, though.

Chris, since you've seen both, I'm curious as to your answer to this: In recent years, the trend has been (stereotypically; there have been exceptions) that east coast teams do better at HSNCT. How would you compare the level of play you saw today as to that normally found on the east coast on IS pa...

Maine South is actually bringing two teams (I'm really missing the edit button right now), which brings our total to 23.

I just realized I forgot to thank the UIUC ABT. It was really a great tournament, the questions and moderators were great. My only regret is that it's the last time I'll get to play in it. Hopefully we'll be able to make it down for the Solo tournament.

Trevkeeper

I can't believe that Herr Taylor's comment is the only one thus far about the U of I Eary Bird, the first tournament of the season. How were the questions? the moderators? our Hoosier neighbors from Lafayette? We want details! The level of play was excellent. The questions were well written and ove...

New Trierâ€™s Second Annual Scholastic Bowl Varsity Tournament will be held December 16, 2006 at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois. Format will be standard Illinois, with two teams of five competing for 10-point tossups followed by 20-point bonuses. The questions will be provided by Aegis ...

I'm not sure if I've posted this before. Anyways....

I'm curious -- where is the Missouri state championship held? As in, what city? Or college, if it's hosted at one.

Trevkeeper

Will there be powers this year? That's about the only thing that, personally, I think would make it better.

I can't wait to attend, it's a great tournament.

The players from HSNCT tried out for next year's Teen Tournament.

I was at SEMO in 2005 and 2006.

Here are the questions that were used at last year's New Trier team tournament (which, as Mr. Reinstein said, is 5 players per team) so you can judge the math (I'm about as non-math guy as you can get, so I never know how difficult the math is).

New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois (it's only about 10 minutes from Northwestern, to give you an idea) is hosting tournaments on November 11 and December 16th. November 11th is a singles tournament and December 16th is a traditional team tournament. As Co-TD of the tournament in December, I...

WashU's tournament is very good.

If any out of state teams are looking for an Illinois tournament to attend, perhaps you should look into U of I's Earlybird tournament, which will be on October 7th.

Trevkeeper

In a different instance, I find it odd when players who start on the varsity team as a frosh or soph also play on the frosh-soph team on weekends the varsity team is not competing. Why? I think there is a difference between Varsity A and B teams and the Varsity and F/S teams. I could see it being s...

You've got to type in !start and then !join home or !join away. If no one else is there, hit !dummy away (if you are on home team, if you are away team, hit !dummy home).

Actually, 3 of East's starters have graduated. Only Erin Li and Alex Zhukovitskiy remain.

Which means they are still extremely formidable.

Alright, I'll play dumb: Can someone give me (a rather computer illiterate person) a step-by-step manual of how to get on this server and play?

Ultima is October 21st. Just letting you know. You can view the calendar for the year here.

Before I forget: Naperville Central was underrated last year, and I don't know who they lost from that team.

Trevkeeper

I must admit, if such a game were created I'd play it.

All the same, I'm highly amused.

Trevkeeper

According to posts in the old thread, it appears the consensus is: Maine East, Maine South, Bloomingtown, Carbondale, New Trier, Auburn, Oak Park-River Forest and Wheaton North will all be good (Did I forget any teams? I'm simply taking these from other posts). Teams that are typically good but are ...

I'm not familiar with it, so what is the "four-quarter format?"

So, any new devlopments on the horizon in the realm of Illinois quizbowl?

I'm curious: when Alabama teams (and I mean active ones, such as Lee's BMHS squad) play out of state (excluding nationals), where do they go, mostly? More specifically how far do they travel? Is it mostly Tennessee tournaments, or do some travel to Kentucky, or even Wash U's tournament in St. Louis?...

One thing that I would like to see or we could collaborate on as a forum would be to create a list of commonly mispronounced answers with the correct pronounciations. That's an excellent idea! I can only think of a couple at the moment. Goethe Descartes (Yes, as a wee JV player I pronounced his nam...

Trevkeeper

The knowledge is knowing that Goethe wrote Faust, not knowing how to pronounce his name. Buzzing in with "Goath" clearly demonstrates that player has the knowledge of the author, while buzzing in with "The guy who wrote the Sorrows of Young Werther" does not.

Trevkeeper

I agree that the power marking on the New Orleans tossup was way too generous.

Trevkeeper

The reason our protest on that in the state series was upheld is because the reference book that the other team brought along referred to it as both "One Day" and "A Day."

3-4 West Coast Offense Belarus Ukraine In our room, the other team negged with West Coast Offense. At the end it became obvious that it was 3-4 (something about replacing a nose tacle with a linebacker), which is when we got it. Also, I sort of did the Belarus/Ukraine mistake. The other team negged...
