Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
Results from Ohio tournaments here, in case they make any difference in the polls, and because most people here aren't aware of what goes on in our state (they're not always posted on this forum).
Edit: I forgot to indicate the state of all of the teams I ranked-should I resend it?

I would totally do this, but I don't feel qualified enough to comment on teams outside the Bay Area. In any case, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the nation stacks up.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
Part of the reason why I found this difficult was that there are some teams out there of excellent repute, and that I have a feeling are very good, but haven't attended enough tournaments to give me a reason to rank them highly. So my list probably isn't accurate in reality, although I tried to make it accurate for the purposes of a midseason poll, which, really, is based on performance thus far, which itself relies on attending tournaments in the first place.
EDIT: On that note, I think I might have ranked a certain San Diego team too highly, because it's only attended 2 tournaments but I happen to know just about everything about said team.

Lol, nice. I mean it happens a lot when one may rank his own team higher than others might agree with, but no one can really say that he is wrong in his estimation. If one hasn't been able to see how everyone is, the ranking will be off.gyre and gimble wrote: EDIT: On that note, I think I might have ranked a certain San Diego team too highly, because it's only attended 2 tournaments but I happen to know just about everything about said team.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
I feel like we haven't had a real, comprehensive discussion of the high school quizbowl scene this year. Since Fred's busy with numerous quizbowl-saving projects at the moment, I'd like to take this time to elicit some thoughts on various teams' prospects.
The way I see it, this year's nationals field is divided into a few tiers. The top tier is composed of State College and Maggie Walker. Frankly, these two teams are far ahead of anyone else, and their records show it: neither has lost to a single team, high school or college, besides the other. However, neither of them are invincible, since both of them have specific weaknesses in terms of knowledge base and playing skill.
Though Maggie Walker was in front at the beginning of the season, I have to put State College ahead for now, given State College's masterful performance at ACF Fall and my personal experience playing both teams. Superficially, State College, like Dorman, is a team of four specialists who dominate their categories. However, all four have pockets of deep knowledge outside their assigned categories, to the extent that I'm never really sure who I'm competing with for the next tossup. I've seen David and Monica buzz on science, Graham and Christoph buzz on painting, and all four buzz
on lit at one time or another (though Graham is clearly dominant on the latter category). All four players are strong enough generalists to do well playing solo against an average field. This distribution of knowledge gives them an added strength, since in the unlikely event that Graham doesn't know much about a book, there's a good chance that one of his teammates will have read it. In addition to this fearsome teamwork, State College has shown more improvement over the course of the season than any other team. Though they went 1-2 against Gov at EFT, State College blew Gov out by some 300 points at ACF Fall while putting up more ppb on that set than any high school or collegiate team in the nation.
What needs to be said about Maggie Walker? They cracked the top 5 at both nationals last year with largely the same team that they have now. Tommy is devastating on lit, philosophy, and music; Greg will unnerve you with his History and Geo buzzes; and both will sneak in good buzzes on all categories with their solid general knowledge. Though Sarah doesn't have the general "quizbowl knowledge" of her teammates, she can outright shock you with the real knowledge she has gleaned from voracious reading. JR is shadowed a lot, but he can provide critical support, especially on NAQT. As for Quint...who knows what's up with him, but if he returns and starts studying to fill up Maggie Walker's relatively patchy, mostly quizbowl science knowledge, he could be an important factor in close games. I may be putting Gov a little lower than State College, but this is largely based on one game at ACF Fall in which State College won a resounding victory. It's worth noting that Gov bounced back the next game to come within ten points of their opponents. It's also worth noting that they beat State College twice at UVA's EFT mirror. From what I can tell, Maggie Walker is one step behind State College, but this conclusion could very well be based on statistical anomalies: both teams are still very much in the running for a national championship.
Now, as for their weaknesses. A recurring theme here is that both teams have largely overcome their weaknesses from the past year, but in certain circumstances, they can relapse into their old habits and play bad games. Gov's major weakness is their lack of aggression. They've certainly improved since last year, but they're reluctant to buzz on gut feelings or context clues. When they start missing tossups they feel they should get, they retreat into their shell and start buzzing much later than they should. If Maggie Walker is going to take an upset this year, that's how it's going to happen. Conversely, State College sometimes gets a little too excited and goes on neg sprees. It doesn't happen nearly as often or as intensely as it used to, but if they're playing a match they expect to win, they sometimes start buzzing a little too early and negging a couple times too many. Graham partially attested to this by winning the neg prize at GSAC despite the presence of several super-generalists at that tournament. However, neither team has a truly crippling weakness: it's very possible that by Nationals, they will be the two best teams in the history of high school quizbowl.
Now let's look at the nebulously-defined "second-tier". These are the teams who are competing for the remaining slots in the top five; these are the teams who could help decide a national title by upsetting one of the top teams on a good day. In no particular order, I'll list out who I think belongs in this category:
Southside
Dorman
St. Anselm's
GDS
LASA
Hunter
DCDS
Southside is probably a little ahead of the others in this tier, and St. Anselm's is probably hanging onto the end, though I'll toot my own horn a bit by saying that we've improved more drastically over the past year than any other team on the list, with the possible exception of the individual members of State College. I'm not really sure what to make of Dorman: an NAQT powerhouse, this team's put up mind-blowing numbers and won some important matches (including a victory against Southside at ACF Fall), but they've also taken some surprising losses, like losing to their own B team at Princeton. However, I still think they're near the top here, since Dorman has always improved dramatically over the course of the year. Their attendance at college tournaments will be watched with interest.
LASA's another one where I'm not totally sure what to think. In my ballot, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and put them at fourth or so; however, they haven't really competed against anyone good besides Henry Gorman and his Rice Buddies. Nevertheless, in my mind, beating the defending champion of both nationals in one match and coming close in several others earns them a spot near the top. Prison Bowl should show reveal a lot about this team and others(DON'T MESS THIS UP GUY TABACHNICK).
GDS and DCDS are both one-man teams, but really damn good ones. To be honest, I have to put Matt Jackson ahead of Neil Gurram here, just because Matt seems to play more tournaments, and writing Ben Cooper should make him far
better. We just have to see if Matt can find time for qb in between acting, school, and having a normal life (YOU FOOL). Even if he doesn't, though, this is the guy who spent the first half of the semester trampling over every team in the DC area. He'll do fine. As for Neil...I really don't know what he can do outside of NAQT, but I get the feeling this is one awesome player. We shall see.
Hunter's another tough team to figure out. I'm going to say that we went a bit too far in putting them 3rd (or 4th, whatever it was). However, since they've been missing their 2nd man at nearly every tournament this semester, it's hard to get a read on exactly where they stand. Given their prowess on higher-level questions, I'm going to say that they'll do better at Nationals than they have at regular high school tournaments. Even though St. Anselm's beat an undermanned Hunter at QuAC, all things considered, I'm obliged to put Hunter ahead of us.
Now for St. Anselm's. Come on, now, did we come out of nowhere or what? At this time last year, 95% of you had never heard of us. Well, enough bragging. I honestly have no idea how we'll do at Nationals: it depends on whether we can fill up some of our crippling knowledge gaps (SCIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE!) and refrain from negging ourselves into losing a game we should have won. I guess we're worse at NAQT, but it doesn't really matter, since I doubt we'll be attending HSNCT. Nevertheless, I'm optimistic about our performance at PACE, and I'm shooting for that spot in the "superplayoffs." On a personal note, I'm glad we've gotten as far as we have, if only to get into this community. You guys have been great, and this game is awesome once you know how to improve.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
There are some other teams on the borderline: Charter, Kellenberg, Auburn, Torrey Pines, Dunbar, and TJ, to name a few. If someone wants to elaborate here, they can, but I'm exhausted from typing up what I already have. It's possible I'm underrating some of these teams, and some of you are probably raising your eyebrows at where I put Charter. Honestly, Charter seems far, far better at NAQT than they are on ACF-style questions: their performance at QuAC was not spectacular. We'll see if that was an aberration or the trend, but I don't really see Charter getting higher than 13th or so at PACE. Nevertheless, this post is only a status report, and quizbowl is all about improvement. Any of these teams could step up, and any of them could drop out of the running. I'm looking forward to my first national tournament to see what happens.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
A bit about Auburn, strictly from a statistical perspective:
Lloyd, a sophomore, does much of the heavy lifting. He regularly outscores his teammates. That being said, the Haseeb brothers have the ability to step it up in big games (see the two finals games at New Trier Varsity). They have been known to take occasional losses to St. Ignatius, but overall this team has Andrew's number.
Due to their youth, I wouldn't put them that high yet, but given that half of their A team will be around for two more years, I'd be scared of this team come 2011 and 2012.

Mission San Jose should be in the second or third tier, considering their 11th place finish at HSNCT last year with most of their team returning.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
I feel obligated to toot the horn of Ohio here.
Before last weekend, if you would have asked be who the clear-cut #1 team in Ohio was, I'd tell you it was Solon easy. They had trampled all over the rest of Ohio's top teams at NAQT and OAC events. They are incredibly balanced with a tremendously deep knowledge base. I've played them twice, and we out-tossup'd them both times, but lost both due to their tremendous bonus conversion(27ppb and 25ppb). At the Rowdy Raider Invitational(IS-88) they blew out everyone in the field except for Dunbar.
However, at the OSU Winter Tournament(HSAPQ-8) this Saturday, they were defeated twice by Northmont. Albeit, they were down one of their A-team members, but they still averaged 23.2ppb(Better than everyone sans GDS A at the U of Maryland's event on the same questions). However, Northmont put up an incredible performance at this tournament and went undefeated, despite the presence of most of the best teams in Ohio. This is interesting to be because Northmont is not this good on NAQT. But they were very, very good on HSAPQ. If they go to PACE they will be a dangerous team to face for most of the field.
I feel that these two teams deserve some strong consideration for that "third" tier of teams talked about above. Having played both I can say that they are very, very good.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
That's cool and all, but Solon still had 3ppb higher than them: http://results.scobo.net/SQBS.aspx?org= ... =standings I put Solon in my top 25 and i think it's justified, but this one result, i think, doesn't put Northmont up there as well.
Perhaps in time. I did briefly consider it. They'd be in a Top 35 for sure, if that's worth anything.

Yes, I still think Solon is the best in the state, but I just wanted to shine some light on Northmont. They were very impressive this Saturday.Dr. Isaac Yankem, DDS wrote:That's cool and all, but Solon still had 3ppb higher than them: http://results.scobo.net/SQBS.aspx?org= ... =standings I put Solon in my top 25 and i think it's justified, but this one result, i think, doesn't put Northmont up there as well.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
Mmhm, you're right. Like i said, if i got to include another 10 teams or so, they probably would have been in the mix. It's clearly a team on the rise. I saw this in the results from them at the end of last year, but until this recent development i didn't think they could be top 25 material. With enough work, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
As much as we can debate the top two or top eight or top twenty-five... i love talking about these sorts of teams like Northmont because there are so many more variables to consider. It's more fun when a team off the radar shocks everyone with a top 15 finish at Nationals or something.

I agree that Northmont is very good, especially in HSAPQ, but you'll find easily that, aside from me, the team is not so good at that format. Lit and Fine Arts are things everyone except me seem to lack in particular, and the problem of being down one person that day was that he was by far our best science player (especially in the physical sciences), which produced another hole that nobody else could cover. I'm not going to blame any losses because of that, but just by looking at stats, it seems that we need some balance on TU/B formats not called NAQT if we're going to do well. (especially at the NSC, which we're interested in going to)
Edit: One glaring problem is, though, that we become lethargic after lunch. I don't know how to consistently avoid this, but it keeps on happening.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
I know some players on the Auburn team, so I hope they won't take it the wrong way, but I you're overrating them here. Lloyd is an amazing player (as are Zahed and Abid), and they did put up good stats on HFT, but I got the chance to play most of them at ACE, and I don't see them finishing top 10 or top 20 at nationals this year. I agree with Donald that they're definitely a team to watch.Journey to the Planets wrote:There are some other teams on the borderline: Charter, Kellenberg, Auburn, Torrey Pines, Dunbar, and TJ, to name a few.
I put DCD at 15th on my ballot. They may be great at NAQT, but I don't see them as a top 5 team.
I'd put Eden Prairie among the "second-tier" teams--they're playing college tournaments and they put up good stats at ACF Fall.

Re: '09-10 HS Midseason Poll
This is probably an accurate statement. We've always been better at NAQT than ACF-style questions. We are very strong in history this year, but that can't carry us by itself.Journey to the Planets wrote:It's possible I'm underrating some of these teams, and some of you are probably raising your eyebrows at where I put Charter. Honestly, Charter seems far, far better at NAQT than they are on ACF-style questions: their performance at QuAC was not spectacular. We'll see if that was an aberration or the trend, but I don't really see Charter getting higher than 13th or so at PACE.
This isn't any bias on my part. I give the kids any resource they want. In fact, we've doing an ACF Fall in practice at the moment.
