How many questions will be written in Latin?

Nick

Does NAQT find any of the survey results significant? Whats more: does NAQT find them significant enough to warrant any change in distribution and/or difficulty in any categories for the upcoming season? Would such a change relate to just HSNCT or all IS sets? I suppose some of this could relate to ...

Nick

I just wanted to second Graham's post about Southside. Ben and Ming are both standup guys and whats more, excellent quizbowl players. I hope they both continue to play quizbowl in future years and wish them well.

I (and perhaps others) was introduced to gullah by my childhood friend Binyah Binyah.

Does NAQT have an "ideal" power percentage?

Nick

Does anyone know how many total teams attended the NAC this year across the three locations?

Lee Henry, you sly fox.

Nick

From NAQT's website, it seems that a dozen or so tournaments every year use sets from previous years at locations that havn't yet heard them. I suppose this option wouldn't be available if all questions prior to the current year were available online. Just another thing to think about.

Nick

The 6th player on Team South Carolina is Meghan Clusserath (Dorman).

Nick

Firstly, I think its great that Charlie did this because it really puts difficulty in a much more objective perspective than somebody's opinion. Also I want to mention that I've attended more than one GSAC tournament and for the top teams it was a regular highlight in the season and I doubt this yea...

Nick

The finishes:

1. Chattahoochee
2. Westminster
3t. Dorman A, Dorman B

Statistics can be found here: http://results.scobo.net/ClemsonQB

Thanks to all teams who came out to compete!

Nick

Wow, this is a great thing.

Nick

Thats awesome that you're omitting trash. Just out of curiosity: why harder than regular difficulty at all, even if only slightly?

Nick

The field as of now:

Chattahoochee
Crescent
Dorman A
Dorman B
Dorman C
Dorman D
Greer
Seneca A
Seneca B
West Jackson
Westminster

We will continue to take registrations up until thursday afternoon, so feel free to shoot us an email ([email protected] or [email protected]) and sign up.

FALSE.

Nick

If PACE NSC or HSNCT's question were to somehow fuse with NTAE's logistics, scholarship money, and Disney tickets, then it'd be the best thing ever.

FACT.

Yeah, sorry about that. The combined stats are also in NAQT's stats database.

is it too late to sign up for this?

The Clemson University Quizbowl Team gladly invites you to join us on Saturday, April 24th, 2010 for the second Tiger Academic Challenge! The tournament will be open to any and all high school or middle school teams that wish to attend. Location: Registration and the opening meeting will take place ...

Nick

Are the previous two sets available online somewhere?

Nick

The saturday questions will now be a mirror of UGA's Classic City Classic from this past November, and registration will be open to any and all teams able to attend. The registration fee has also dropped significantly for teams registering in these last few days. If you are interested, please contac...

Nick

I can't really comment on previous sets, but this year's Prison Bowl was one of the best and most appropriate high school sets I've ever heard. I'll go out on a limb and say that (not considering the 1/1 trash), it was as close to perfect (as I would define it) as a regular high school set can reali...

Nick

ah, that makes sense. I knew there had to be something I was missing.

Nick

Oh wait a second, Duke may be attending. More news on this coming soon.

Nick

With 24 teams- the tournament format will be 4 prelim pools of 6 (5 games) followed by 3 playoff pools of 8 where a team plays all the teams in their pool they have not yet played (6 games)? If so, and you only have 11 packets, what will happen if there is a tie for first after these 11 games?

Nick

Just whenever you finish, shoot me an email at [email protected] Thanks again!

Nick · Re: ACF Regionals at Clemson (2/20/10) UNC and UGA will not be attending.

UNC and UGA will not be attending.

Nick

Its looking like this is going to be a quadruple round-robin between USC A, USC B, Southside, and a House team (which will be Clemson's regular line-up). Meet in Daniel Hall Auditorium between 8:30 and 8:45. Games start at 9.

Nick

so that brings this down to 4 teams? are we still starting at 10:30?

Nick

I've heard that the weather is supposed to be much better tomorrow if thats any consolation. I think Clemson supports the greenville hotel idea too.

Nick

We only need like 3 or 4 rooms. We ought to just have this at somebody's house, if somebody doesn't mind volunteering. I actually already asked my mother but surprise surprise, she said no, hahaha.

Nick

I know our situation is different than teams coming from farther away but Clemson would still attend. If this is just a matter of not being able to get inside the building, then I guess it doesn't really matter.

Nick

I just wanted to announce some specifics regarding the Literature Singles tournament on Saturday night. Assuming all goes well with the Saturday (MUT) tournament schedule, the Lit Singles should begin at 8PM and last until about 10:30. The questions being used for this is still a mirror of Dan's Lit...

Nick

Yeah, if the game format was more akin to quizbowl as we know it, and we got to play all the games one-on-one instead of how they do it, this tournament would have been virtually perfect in my opinion.

Maybe its just me and our site at Clemson- but does it seem like across the board there is an abnormally low number of teams attending ACF Regionals? Is it usually like this with a little over two weeks to go?

Nick · Re: ACF Regionals at Clemson (2/20/10) field update: Southside HS UNC

field update:

Southside HS
UNC

Nick

does this mean they (Tommy and Sarah) can/will not play as Maggie Walker at an ACF tournament again?

Nick

Most of the issues I saw have been already mentioned here and cleared up by Matt Jackson's version. Thanks, Matt.

Nick

Also, I can understand being a little more rhetorical because you want people in your area to play quizbowl, but some of the things you say about "good/modern" quizbowl aren't necessarily facts about what quizbowl is, but more of a specific set of beliefs about what you think quizbowl shou...

Nick

Just an update, yes, this tournament is definitely still happening. We expect that as teams begin to hash out their spring schedule, we will get more official registration forms. The list of registered teams only includes those from whom I've gotten a form, and not those who have just mentioned that...

At Regionals last year, after asking the head editor, some friends and I were allowed to play on a mixed team as long as we agreed not to be in contention for the championship bracket/match. Maybe take it up with the Winter editors.

I may have just missed this -- but has NAQT announced the locations of the CCCT and ICT yet? If not, is there an ETA on that? Thanks.
