The Quizbowl Resource Center

Regarding the "random announcements" thread, I think the original idea behind that thread (I created the thread, after all) was that we wouldn't get hundreds of threads basically turning into "I wrote this packet, let's play it on Skype or the IRC." However, I do agree that clog...

How does a tentative time of 1 PM Eastern work for y'all?

Since a variety of people want to hear it, I will probably read it at ICT if people are available and willing but also on Skype on a quiet Sunday (probably the 16th of April) if that is alright with people. Also, a fun little rule is to pick a house before playing the set(the more obscure the better).

I will be coming to Canada for some weekend of quizbowl in summer. I hope it lines up with this tournament because it sounds sick

I was wondering a few things: -Will content from the novellas or The World of Ice and Fire be covered, or just the main books? -Will there be a particular focus on either one of the show or the books? -Will you mix hints from the show and the books into the same tossup, or will only one be dealt wi...

Hi All, I am almost done with a four (possibly five) packet Game of Thrones set for some Florida quizbowlers who are also fans of it. The set has 20 tossups each followed by a 10 point bonus question. It uses clues from both the books and HBO TV series. Lemme know if anyone outside the state has int...

Are you open to having mirrors on this set as late as September? (i.e. Having it during the usual collegiate novice timeframe) I would be open to this; I have talked to the likes of Jay and Aayush briefly about the set but not much more. Feel free to rename it though if you have a site as only the ...

Canada (Late September)
Rock Bridge HS Pre-Nats Tournament (May 13th)

I think our A team competes just fine with the Georgia's, Alabama's, and Florida's when full strength. It's not a good idea to make global comparisons of team strength based on stats from combined field SCTs played on D2 questions and ACF Fall. Those results are never analogous to comparisons which...

Sorry, Peter. I searched UCF and got results for EFT and SCT but not ACF Fall, which as Victor pointed out, aren't posted. It's cool. If you still care the Fall stat link is in the collegiate announcement forum for the FSU ACF site. My teammates are really smart people and the club has come a long ...

Here Victor, they are in Neg 5 for one reason or another

Or Carleton, or UCF, or WKU, or Yale B, or Virginia B, or true Maryland B.......... I know this probably does not help much, but I just wanted to throw in the comment that UCF has only played one tournament this season as a true A team (Acf fall 2016 I think). Our "A Team" for SCT was our...

There's SUN being produced by a bunch of people from Florida, but at Fall-minus difficulty it doesn't exactly fill the niche that MUT covered. It is definitely no substitute for MUT, which will be missed in Florida where it is usually played in May. SUN's original purpose was to cater to both Unive...

I am pretty sure Christmas Shoes is also a bad movie with Rob Lowe (I think it may be based on the song, but not a 100% on that one)

I am happy to announce the Spring Undergraduate Novice, a collegiate novice tournament produced by members of the University of Florida, New College, and University of Central Florida clubs. Writers for SUN include Taylor Harvey, Katia Diamond, Cody Johansen, Jonathen Settle, Alex Shaw, Alex Kouteli...

Hi all, this seemed like, other than the formal forum post to go up later today or tomorrow, the appropriate place to mention that the some Florida quizbowlers including myself have been developing a novice for mid to late spring (it's at about 50% done at the time). This discussion was a large part...

I would be interested in this. A couple of us play in the ucf club along with other paradox games like eu4 and hoi4. I would love to join if a group already exists

Looking back at my A Team Challenge matches online during 2013 and 2014, those questions are pretty awful. The difficulty range is all over the place with questions on obscure household appliances to George Washington two liners.

I was wondering if I could play this tournament. I am trying to play with people I have never been on a team with, so I would not mind being a free agent for the time being

Hi this is Peter Torres. I play quizbowl at the University of Central Florida and also an alum of Gulf Coast High School. I don't know a lot on the subject of high school tournaments but I believe Mitch Alday has at least one a year over at Bainbridge HS in Georgia. UF also runs a high school tourna...

Yes Mister Doctor Professor Borglum. I know of no one on the current UCF team that plans to play it. Granted, our first practice is tomorrow so I will probably know then.

Peter speaking from the UCF quizbowl team. I wanted to say I would love to staff this tournament up at gateway, especially if we send a team (which is very likely).

I am gonna make my way up there for the tournament weekend, I would love to play all the side events mentioned so far

Hello, I am a quizbowler from ucf who will be staffing hsnct. I would like to ask if I could play. Issue is I have no teammate currently, so if anybody needs one I'd love to join him/her.
