SHOW-ME More Available for Mirrors (2023-2024, Regs)

Post by Krik? Krik?! KRIIIIK!!! »

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce a sequel to the State Housewrite Of Wondrous Missouri Excellence: SHOW-ME More! It will be available for mirrors starting September 1, 2023. Like last year's set, our questions are targeted at high school regular difficulty. They should be comparable to NAQT IS sets as well as recent housewrites such as KICKOFF 2022 and CALISTO. I, Ganon Evans, will be head editor and communications lead.

Our subject editing team, consisting of experienced players and alumni mostly from the state of Missouri, is as follows:

Literature- Joel Miles (U of Minnesota), Joy An (Harvard)
History- Ganon Evans (MOQBA), Yaj Jhajhria (Canyon Crest)
Science & Math- June Yin (WUSTL), Joy An (Harvard)
Fine Arts- Joel Miles, Joy An, Michael Menkhus (MOQBA)
Belief & Thought- Vedul Palavajjhala (WUSTL)
Modern World & Other- Ben Weiner (U of Minnesota), Michael Menkhus

Our questions are written by the editors above, along with a team of writers carrying over from last year as well as some new friends from the University of Minnesota and Purdue University.

SHOW-ME More will have 14 packets of uniform difficulty, each containing 20 power-marked tossups and 20 three-part bonuses, as well as an extra half-packet of replacement questions. Tossups are between 550 to 650 characters in length, while bonuses are capped at 8 lines of text. Our subject distribution is as follows:
4 History (1 American, 1 European, 1 World, 1 Mixed/Other - Includes Ancient, Colonization/Colonialism, and cross-region interaction)
4 Literature (1.5 Long Fiction, 0.5 Poetry (including epic poetry), 0.5 Drama, 1.5 Mixed/Other)
4 Science & Math (1 Biology, 0.75 Chemistry, 0.75 Physics, 0.5 Math, 0.33 Astro, 0.33 Earth, 0.33 Computer)
2.5 Fine Arts (1 Visual, 1 Auditory, 0.5 Other Fine Arts)
3 Belief & Thought (2 Belief (Religion & Myth), 0.5 Philosophy, 0.5 Social Science)
2.5 Modern World & Other (0.5 Other Academic, 0.5 Geography, 0.5 Current Events, 1 Pop Culture)

Note that there are slight changes from last year, including a decreased OFA by moving content into VFA and AFA, increased Belief, more Pop Culture, and condensing various smaller categories into subdistributions.

The mirror fee to use the SHOW-ME More set will be $20 per non-house team, though a $5 per team discount will be applied if the host sends us conversion statistics (such as those generated by TJ Sheets). We hope to have mirrors in every U.S. region and possibly internationally. If you would like to use our set and/or have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
