Steven, it would be interesting if you came to UAH... I plan to start on my Master's there next year and MIGHT start playing again if someone with more time was willing to start up a team.

I know a few teams that are going to be there: Brindlee Mountain ASFA Covenant Christian Bob Jones Arab Cullman Athens High Athens Bible School That's all I know for sure. It looks like its going to be a good competition. The field is pretty strong. Last I heard there were 17 teams registered, but s...

quizbowllee

We would've been there if at all possible... We simply couldn't make it this year due to various conflicts that players and coaches had. You know me well enough to know that we try to get to everything possible... We are planning to go next year. Also, Steven, where did you guys place? I would've th...

quizbowllee

I agree with almost everything you said... My team didn't really care much for the questions. Some of them were flat wrong. A couple examples come to mind: The Mississippi River is the longest river in North America, not the MacKenzie. And secondly (in the semi-final round, I might add), "Beaut...

OK. This is the final roster of registered teams. I have cut off registration, teams have had several weeks to reply, and I can't find many more experienced readers.

Who all was at Austin High yesterday? We had already committed to LAMP for their 6-9 tournament, so we didn't go. Incidentally, we took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at LAMP... Would've taken 4th also, but my 7th graders lost by 15 to Indian Springs... *Edited one time to fix some terrible grammar mistake...

quizbowllee

Bob Jones did not do too well... I think they only won 3 or 4 matches. Brindlee Mountain is going to LAMP today... it's a 6th-9th grade tournament. Hence, I am able to take all of my players... We will be at Holy Spirit next weekend. After that, we'll be at Athens State on Dec. 3 and our own tournam...

quizbowllee

OK - It looks like Alabama may just be a convoluted mess this year, with no one team looking like a sure thing, but rather a group of about 5 or 6 that could take the title(s). Today, Bevill-Jasper held their tournament. Holy Spirit Catholic School won with a record of 8-1 Guess who gave them that o...

This inspired the student to reply: I hate it when they refer to inanimate objects as "she" or "he!"

AHHH - left a letter out of my e-mail address on that last post.

Should be [email protected]

I will edit previous post to correct that as well. If anyone e-mailed me, please re-send. Sorry.

OK - in order to qualify for PACE, we must have 12 teams... We seem to have stalled at 11. Steven, I still haven't heard anything from LAMP... You sure you are coming? I've got you down, but I need confirmation. Also, do you think LAMP can field 2 teams? That would solve the problem. If anyone is in...

As of right now:

The questions are coming from various sources... some from Chris Borglum from Valencia, some from Daniel McHan from Athens State, and I've got some other people from around the country offering to make trades, free-lance, etc. BTW - anyone out there interested in writing, trading, etc, please contac...

quizbowllee

I just found out that Athens State University, also in Alabama, is hosting a tournament on Friday Dec. 3. They are planning it to also be a PACE qualifier. Therefore, between their tournament on the 3rd, and ours on the 4th, there will be two chances in two days to qualify for PACE. Athens State is ...

quizbowllee

Right now I need any questions at all. All subjects (no trash, though). As far as compensation goes, I can maybe work out some kind of trade... E-mail me for specifics on this. I'd especially like to get some questions from you since this is a PACE qualifier.

I've had no bites AT ALL on this... If anyone is even CONSIDERING writing some questions (or even considering a swap), please let me know ASAP. Otherwise, I'm going to place an order with the good folks at NAQT...

Thanks,

Out of curiosity, what tournament was this?

quizbowllee

Sorry - I had so many questions about our tournament at Brindlee Mountain that I answered the wrong question...

The questions at UTC were mainly house written with a few freelancers.

quizbowllee

It being a national qualifier, I plan to allow my Varsity team to compete. Hence, no house-written questions. I have put out a request for freelancers (mainly players on the college circuit). If I don't get enough bites, the good folk at Athens State University have agreed to do a good bit of the wr...

quizbowllee

No, it wasn't. It was not even NAQT format. It was, however, pyramidal tossups with 3-part bonuses.

quizbowllee

Three teams from Alabama made the trip to UT-Chattanooga yesterday for the Bob Selcer Memorial Tournament. Although highly outnumbered by teams from Tennessee and Georgia, we represented our state well. All three Alabama schools finished in the top four! 1st - Covenant Christian 2nd - Maryville (Fro...

quizbowllee

Not necessarily... tossups and bonuses should be separate.

What I really want is ACF-style questions on a high school level. A slight step below ACF Fall if you will.

quizbowllee

I desperately need some high school level questions for a tournament at Brindlee Mountain on Dec. 4. If you have any, please e-mail them to me at lee@otelco.net The questions need to be pyramidal high school level. I am willing to set up a swap for these. Anyone who submits a set of 10 TU/10 Bonuses...

quizbowllee

This is true. Mrs. Daily informed us that Russellville will not be hosting their annual high school tournament. I was planning on hosting a tournament later in the year, but decided to claim the now-vacant Russellville date. We will host a high school tournament at Brindlee Mountain. Details can be ...

All teams are invited to the first ever Brindlee Mountain High School Invitational Tournament to be held here in Guntersville, AL on Saturday Dec. 4, 2004. The tournament will be a tossup/bonus format with pyramidal-type questions. The top 4 teams will qualify for the PACE National Championship Tour...

quizbowllee

Just wondering who all is going to the Bob Selcer tournament in Chattanooga next weekend...

quizbowllee

I have written for two years for a conference in Ohio that adheres to this same format. I can tell you from experience that it is VERY tedious... I seriously think that if I am approached to provide questions again this year in that Ohio format that I will pass... It's not worth the money I got paid...

quizbowllee

Brindlee is planning to go to some out of state stuff. We are going to the tournament at UT-Chattanooga on Oct. 9. I'm kind of slowly getting them acquainted to out of state play. We would go to Vandy, but that is the weeked we hold our annual middle school tournament. Incidentally, I hope to host a...

quizbowllee

I am also dissapointed that Russellville has no high school team... I can't help but wonder where all of their former middle school players went... Last year at our invitational, their middle school team had 6 teams! That's right, there was a Russellville F team! And they weren't too bad. Where are ...

quizbowllee

Interestingly enough, Mrs. Daily informed me that Russellville is not having a team AT ALL this year... She said they only had one player.

As for Indian Springs, I don't think they were there...

Well, I just got back from the ASCA "Fun" Tournament - and this is how it panned out: Top Four Varsity: 1) Covenant Christian 2) LAMP 3) Brindlee Mountain (yes - they were all freshmen) 4) Bob Jones Top Two JV: 1) Arab 2) LAMP I wanted to point out that as Brindlee Mountain coach, I had th...

sorry that last one posted twice...

quizbowllee

I am aware of NAQT's policy of possibly inviting lower ranked teams over those above them. However, I can see where, to avoid Columbia pitching an absolute fit, they might've leaned in that direction in this case. NAQT does not "choose," per se, to do so. If the S-values say that team X s...

quizbowllee

I don't think even for a moment that Columbia would have gotten a bid as a means of justifying bids for lower-finishing teams, since that wouldn't be necessary. As Dan Greenstein noted, NAQT can select the lower-placed team first, so long as that team didn't play in a lower playoff division. (I thi...

quizbowllee

Angelo, I was also of the theory that bonus conversion must be a huge factor. That is until I noticed that Columbia, who got 3rd in their SCT had a lower conversion than ours. It kinda looks like NAQT gave Columbia a bid in order to justify inviting Maryland, who finished behind Columbia, but who ha...

quizbowllee

One word: standby. I think the last time I checked there was only one team on the D2 standby list. Get on that list; that way if NAQT comes through late in the game and says that they have a slot for you all, you won't have to decline because of "fundraising" issues. It might suck if you ...

quizbowllee

Lee, Don't give up just yet. Just see what happens - some teams will inevitably decline, and your chance will come up. I'm also sort of confused - only 1 team made it out of the Southwest and Southeast sectionals. I'm also at bit miffed to see an Alabama community college winning the Mississippi CC...

quizbowllee

To say that I'm a little upset is an understatement... I thought for sure that 2nd in a SCT would grant us an invite. We fought hard to not get invited... I seriously doubt two teams will not accept. Oh, well. Thanks to all who "prognisticated" that we'd get in. I thought we would, too. Ki...

quizbowllee

Hey, where did you get the Southeast "tossups heard" stats? I haven't seen them anywhere. I'm the captain of Athens State's team and I know our tossups heard number was low... Several rounds we didn't even reach 20. Thanks.
