Each week, I would keep track of which tossups had been missed; after about two weeks, I would then bring the previous weeks' packets and simply re-read the tossups that had been missed again. I think this is a great idea, and something I'll try at our practices. Nothing fancy goes on at Florida St...

Yes, I think Raj correctly interpreted my comments in a more gentle way. I was a bit frustrated after this tournament, so I really didn't mean for what I wrote to have such a scathing tone. In the future, I'll probably wait a day to comment, so I can simmer down. Now, instead of being so negative, I...

Also, that bonus on Mackinder is incredibly hard. Mackinder probably needs to be the third part of a bonus. Asking about his book, however well-known it might be among geographers, is probably not appropriate even at a high-level tournament. I'm currently taking a 1000-level geography class here at...

Well, I know very little about college bowl, but I wass just wondering, what's the buzz (pardon the potential GT pun) about schools in GA, namely UGA, GA Tech, Emory, and Berry? I'll answer regarding NAQT/ACF tournaments (CBI don't count in my book). Despite having gone to around twenty or so acade...

Update #2 --The field has been updated with some new editions. --The definition of a JV team can be stretched a bit. For example, if you have an 11th grader who has never touched a buzzer before, feel free to have him on a JV team. --The early registration period was stretched by a couple days. You ...

One other interested situation came up in the 15-point round (I believe). There was a question asking players to fill in the missing word of literary titles. The first one, for example, was The Unbearable _______ of Being by Kundera. The fourth and final one was read as Of Human ______ *buzz*. Maryl...

Don't most PAC finals end up like this? When each team is only getting a few questions, there has to be a huge variance on the possible outcomes -- much, much moreso than in the other formats anyways. In my experiences with PAC, surprisingly not. Last year for example, Virginia had a relatively com...

Despite the fact I don't like the PAC format, today's final match was actually really exciting. The top four teams all had a legit shot to win. For example, on one 15-point question, Team Florida buzzed in and said A Member of the Wedding (by Carson McCullers) instead of The Member of the Wedding. T...

At one of the NAQT events my team attended this past year, both Nigerian authors and organic chemistry were bonus topics, neither of which is on a par with high school knowledge. I'd have to disagree. I read Things Fall Apart in 10th grade. While I went down the physics route for science, many of m...

some desperate team actually took me!
Good luck to all those at the CO.

If a team is really, really, really desperate for a player, I'd *love* to come and play. I might even be able to get a fine arts question here and there.
