Quality Novice or Frosh/Soph Sets
Quality Novice or Frosh/Soph Sets
As I am putting together my season calendar I am lacking new sets appropriate for the Novice or Frosh/Soph level (we'll be playing the four NAQT IS-A sets and the Novice Mirror set...). Are there any other new sets out there which we could use this year?

Re: Quality Novice or Frosh/Soph Sets
I don't know about format wise. But if possible, I think some of th VHSL sets are in that difficulty range.

Gov has produced HAVOC for the past two years. Not sure if they're going to continue this year, though.pblessman wrote:As I am putting together my season calendar I am lacking new sets appropriate for the Novice or Frosh/Soph level (we'll be playing the four NAQT IS-A sets and the Novice Mirror set...).

Re: Quality Novice or Frosh/Soph Sets
At this point we don't intend to. We discussed it as a team and have found ourselves too busy. TJ had batted around the idea of writing one for this spring; I've been meaning to get in touch with them privately about this, but I suppose I'll continue forgetting and so I shall say that if this is still intended to happen and TJ folks are interested in advice or collaboration from Gov, feel free to get in touch with me.Earthquake wrote:Gov has produced HAVOC for the past two years.

From what I've been told (someone correct me if I'm wrong), I don't think TJ's going to write a middle school set.MLWGS-Gir wrote:At this point we don't intend to.

Re: Quality Novice or Frosh/Soph Sets
Yeah confirming this: we're just too busy to write more than NAREN. We're considering writing one next year, though.Earthquake wrote:From what I've been told (someone correct me if I'm wrong), I don't think TJ's going to write a middle school set.MLWGS-Gir wrote:At this point we don't intend to.
