ACF Fall allowed people to look at the Google Forms results pages for reservations at each site (available at this link)--that was actually what I was alluding to.

The leadin to the "big nose" literature question isn't really unique--Saleem Sinai has a lot of weird distinctive physical features (he's sort of bald and has a big head, for example). His big nose is probably his best known trait, but I think the leadin could use clarification to indicate...

Will there be a link to the fields at the various sites like there was for ACF Fall, or did I just not see where that link was posted?

That was me! I've always found the Minard map fascinating, so I hope you enjoy it!

I did indeed. Thank you for this copy of The Mystified Magistrate!

Mine shipped yesterday; it should get to its recipient in a couple of weeks.

Charles Hang charleshang228@yahoo.com 1/ The ideal gift would be an audiobook through Audible that that's not on the list of Audible books I already own . I've been reading novels in the quiz bowl "canon" through Audible, and I'd enjoy another novel from a well known author (ex. Edith Whar...

I think my stats got switched with Marianna's in Round 4.

Are you planning on randomly assigning people to teams for VICO as well?

Charbroil

I don't have the ability to get on Google Drive right now, so you can count this as my official registration for this event (both SHEIKH and VICO). Anyone interested in teaming up with me for either is welcome to email me at [email protected]

Charbroil

We had a last minute drop, so anyone who wants to play CO for free is welcome to join us. Feel free to call me at 636-219-1660 or email me at [email protected] if you're interested, though it's also fine if you just join us tomorrow morning.

Seth Ebner and I would like to be your 16th team, assuming you still have an opening.

The link for Prelim D stats returns an error message.

I think the tossup about Okonkwo mentioned Obierika by by name in the first clue, which was way too early. I wrote this tossup after reading the novel; I'm not sure if I agree with you. Obierika is, like, the eighth most prominent character in the novel? I'm not sure how you could know his name unl...

Delta Burke is actually about Fall difficulty, or even maybe Fall minus difficulty.

Charbroil

I'm going to play this.

Charbroil

I'll also play this at HSNCT.

Charbroil

I can staff this if it doesn't conflict with the geography or science tournaments.

Charbroil

Has an official schedule been decided for which side events are going when? I'd like to staff some and play others, so it would be nice to know if my plans are possible.

Charbroil

This was very fun; thanks for hosting!

This may just be a nitpick on my part, but I thought that some of the notes telling the moderator to take a short pause when coming across a semicolon were a bit superfluous - although I certainly do enjoy reading at a very fast pace, myself and all the other speedy readers I've heard tend to be go...

In other news, we have passed 5,000 tournaments, 100,000 teams, and 300,000 player stats indexed.

This is a great tool; thanks for making it.

I'll play this.
