It would be an abomination were Stanford's Div II team be excluded, however.
I found more errors in my calculations (that I won't bother to correct since actual bids should be out imminently) and again I'm just guessing at what NAQT's formula is, so don't worry about it just yet.

OK, I lied, I will do this one last time, incorporating all the data, and fixing a stupid math mistake I made before. I'm actually somewhat curious to see how well my predictions match up with the real bids when they come out, so here goes.

CC field

Will not be predicted since only Valencia posted stats and no one seems to know if the other sectionals even occurred. Hopefully the wait for official bids is not due to communication problems regarding this.

I have no idea whether waiting for CC stats is causing the delay (and is it a delay? I don't remember how long it usually takes, but it always seems like a while to me), but here's what I do know:

Alabama's CC SCT was won by Snead State, with Faulkner State second and Bevill State third.

Georgia's was won by Gulf Coast with Chipola second and South Georgia third.

Kansas's was won by Cloud County.

No one (with whom I've communicated) has any idea whether Mississippi's went down or not.

So Valencia Red, Snead, Gulf Coast and Cloud are in, as well as the Miss. winner (if any). Since this is a prediction thread, I'd guess that the three wildcards will be Faulkner, Chipola and Valencia Black, with Bevill getting in if there's no auto bid from Miss.

I have to say I'm pleased to see McGill get a wildcard bid in D2, as well as Toronto's getting bids in both divisions. I admit some surprise that UBC got a bid in D1 after our low turnout, but I suppose hosting is hosting.

Congrats to all the invitees and good luck at ICT!

Initial reactions to the list:

D-1 list only has 31 teams, pending a British team, so Minnesota is probably in (though I wonder if they will be fielding teams). British Columbia is on there, as is UCI (who someone said was going D-2). My guesses which I never got around to posting, had the other 29 teams there plus Maryland, Amherst, and Columbia, with Minnesota-North tops on the waitlist. Johns Hopkins is low on the waitlist because they were in a lower playoff group than North Carolina and I think the rule is that order-of-finish doesn't matter but playoff groups DO matter. If there were playoffs for all teams in the Northeast (something was said about it, but stats were never posted), that could explain why Amherst and Columbia dropped off.

D-2, Stanford does get a bid, as does Oklahoma (curious for the purposes of future eligibility... I assume it was the Oklahoma "B" team, not the "C" team winning the bid on PPTH). In addition to Stanford's bid, which I think is fair but didn't think would happen, I thought Georgia and Chicago E would make it as opposed to Dartmouth B.

Since Oklahoma gets a team, does that mean they can combine the best of both teams to create a better team ? ... I´m not sure how that works.

If we somehow got in, for example, would I be able to bring my strongest team or is the sectional team locked as the ICT team ?

You can field any eligible set of players you want; you're not locked in to your SCT team.

Definitely not locked. Any otherwise division-eligible player at your school can play on any team you bring.

I really don't know what to say about it; their bonus conversion of 11.45 would easily be the worst in the D2 field, but they played on D1 questions so that changes things. I came up with a few ways to adjust for D1 opponents in calculating PPTH and similar opponent-dependent statistics when creating my bid predictions, but any correction for things that are solely team-versus-question will be largely arbitrary. In the future I think that each field should qualify for at most one division--if only 4 D2 teams register then they need to either demand to play a multiple-round-robin among themselves (a demand which TDs should be obligated to fulfill) or they should be able give up the possibility of either qualifying or losing their eligibility for that year, and play with the D1 teams in a tournament that can only qualify D1 teams. Actually trying to determine qualification based on D2 teams playing D1 questions against D1 opponents seems like a futile task.

I'm glad NAQT cleared all the garbage up with the disputed SCT @ OK. State. I do find it depressing that Georgia B did not receive a bid, even if they are #1 on the waitlist. Especially with Vanderbilt B being invited ahead of them. Nothing against Vandy, but Georgia had them beat in every category except BPC and P/N, although they did have more negs. But with 2 head-to-head wins against Vandy, plus a higher finishing place, a higher PPTH, and a higher PPG. I guess that BPC and P/N counts exceptionally more than placement in the tournament and h2h victories.

It would also be good to know the CC bids. This is slightly strange to me, as I played for Faulker the last two years and the bids were always put up at the same time. Apparently the Miss. situation has hindered the process.

Overall it seems like a nice well-rounded field in D2, with no snubs, aside from Georgia.

Not to dispute that Georgia deserved to get in more than we did, because they did, but they didn't beat us twice I don't believe. We only played them once.

My bad. I thought you guys played them in the tie-breaker, but now that you mention it I guess Florida played you guys in it. Sorry about that, but congrats on the bid anyways.

I'm a little surprised of all the doubt surrounding Stanford's D2 qualification. Maybe that's just from being new to ICT, but here are my calculations:

Looking only at the PPB of all the teams playing on D1 questions from the Southeast, South, West, Iowa, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Canadian, Midwest, and Northwest sectionals (61 by my count), the average PPB is only 12.62. Our sectional also had, by Matt Weiner's rankings, two out of the top five and four out of the top 13 teams. Furthermore, rebracketing was done after 9 rounds and I've noticed NAQT questions tend to get harder as the rounds progress, so any benefit from playing on easier rounds was lost by playing better, more experienced teams. I don't know what NAQT used to calculate s-values, or how much they emphasized PPB, or even how the D2 set compared to the D1 set (I haven't seen it yet), but surely they must've taken it all into account.

Given all that, I just didn't think NAQT would not give us a bid. Maybe that's just the naiveté talking.

I guess a one point edge in bonus conversion outweighs a one point edge in ppth. I don't think points per game is taken into account given the variable number of questions, so you just look at ppth. Like Jack said, they played once, and head to head doesn't count either, nor do tie-breaker matches. All that being said, I'm sure our DII team must've been one of the last invitees, and Georgia will undoubtedly get a chance to compete if they desire.

Hey, not to be difficult or anything, but do you know how many wait-list teams are usually given opportunities to compete?

And also, I'm a little bit surprised that Vanderbilt was given a bid ahead of us, but we played them in the first match, and shot ourselves in the foot multiple times throughout the day, including a loss to our own b team, not to mention that Vandy vastly improved throughout the day in almost every statistic. So, if you go by bad losses, I'm not all that surprised that we were put on the wait-list. That being said, I think we are very much looking forward to competing if given the chance.

Given that NAQT does somewhat adjust their S-value for strength of schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if you got a huge boost from playing five games against Division I qualifiers. Also, since NAQT demanded scoresheets from the host, they may have looked at a sample of the bonuses you got to see how your performance on those might have corresponded to how you would have performed on the Division II set. All in all, though, you guys deserved a bid. You gave us a pretty good game, and I'm sure your stats would have been up there had a fourth Division II team been found.

2001 (St. Louis): 1 of 24 teams declined.
2002 (Chapel Hill): 3 of 32 teams declined.
2003 (Los Angeles): 8 of 24 (four-year school) teams declined.
2004 (St. Louis): 3 of 24 teams declined
2005 (Tulane): 3 of 24 teams declined.
2006 (College Park): 2 of 24 teams declined.

(2001 had a 24-team field overall for DII, 2002 had a 32-team field, and subsequent ICTs have had a 32-team field with eight slots reserved for community colleges.)

Generally, few teams get off the waitlist in DII. While Minnesota will certainly pose some travel problems for some teams, it's hard to say whether they'll have as great an effect on bid acceptance as they did in 2003.

I'll just go ahead and say right now that Brown B will not be accepting their bid. It's too hard to get to Minneapolis and we don't have enough people interested to justify sending a DII team.

According to Chad Kubichek it was the B team which qualified.

As of right now, my only remaining hope of getting to nationals lies in Yale or McGill. The field is almost set and only one team has declined so far... I figured we would have no problem given that so many teams in the past few years had declined but that may prove to be wrong.... I guess we'll find out soon.

While McGill has requested the registration deadline extension for the past two ICTs, I don't think they'll end up going this year. Their main organizers graduated last year, and there is zero leadership amongst their D2 players.

yeah that could be a problem .... well hopefully they can get everything together there

and I just heard that Yale is accepting so that just hasn´t been updated yet

so if we don´t make it, it will be time to go study like crazy this summer.

And/or you could attend ACF Nationals, which is a mere 8 hour drive from Kirksville. You can do it, we drove to Tulsa twice in two weekends and four times total this year, and that's a 9 hour trip from Austin. Also, it'd be cheaper than ICT. You should come, you seem like you've got good ideas about quizbowl and I think you'd enjoy the tournament, even though it is, in fact, a hard event.

I think the plan right now is to go to ACF fall next year. While I would love to come to ACF Nationals this year (I know it isn´t very far), I don´t think I can afford another quiz bowl trip this year due to classes and trying to keep my gpa up. But next year, we will be at ACF fall for sure.

Also, be on the lookout for our first college tournament in a few years. I am not really sure when Truman last hosted a Brainal Leakage but the plan is to have one in the Fall, along with our college-style high school tournament.

I've never been up there, but I think it was January '04. It conflicted with WUHSAC so we couldn't make it, but I think that year it still got held, either than or later.
