To go along with the thread in Collegiate Discussion in which only a few high schoolers have responded to, if you're a senior and know where you're going to school next year, feel free to post here with that information.

One quizbowl player and one infrequent poster doesn't seem to indicate a particularly large freshman class to me, unless you know of others

Well, tournaments outside Pennsylvania would be fairly rough (just ask State College), but if you really wanted to it could certainly be done, as I hear Pittsburgh and Philadelphia tend to each have a few tournaments per year in their general area.

I'm from them parts. There isn't any 20/20 quizbowl at the high school or college levels. There are teams that participate in the television tournaments around Harrisburg and State College. There might be some local leagues too.
