Re: Matt Bruce (cw: sexual assault, pedophilia)
Yeah uh is there some way for NAQT to place Matt Bruce on indefinite leave / suspension or something? I get that they have to go through an official Process before firing him, but placing him on leave seems like a pretty low-cost way to demonstrate good faith toward the community. It's disturbing to...

Re: Quizbowl Roundtable: Call for Topics/Participants
I endorse Susan's suggestion!
I'll also throw in a vote for "how do I start a quizbowl team at x college/university without one" since I don't think there are many resources on the forums for how to do this.

Re: ProtoBowl
1) Racism, sexism, and homophobia have no place in the quizbowl community. 2) Those things are currently a problem on ProtoBowl. 3) If that problem persists, then ProtoBowl has no place in the quizbowl community. These issues are a problem on Protobowl's lobby , and I'm pretty sure you don't have t...

Re: ACF Fall 2011 Discussion
19. The chorus of this play says, “what a remarkable piece of work is man.” After a dust storm that blinds them has passed, guards in this work discover the title character’s crime. In this play, the protagonist’s lover, Haemon, tries to stab the king but misses and falls on his own sword after the...

Re: "Regular" High School Difficulty
I agree with Fred's statement that "regular difficulty" tournaments should be made easier, in the sense that high school sets should generally aim for a level of difficulty lower than the average difficulty level that they have been, as the numbers show that benchmarks like an average conv...

Re: DC/MD/VA Date Claim '10-'11
TJ would like to change the date for our housewrite to 3/20, rather than 4/9. Circumstances arose which forced us to plan on changing the date to the weekend of 3/19-3/20 before we heard of Blair's plans... unfortunately, there's no other date between now and mid-May that can work for us.

Re: Tossups that need to be toned down or replaced
The bonuses which included Rauschenberg, Vigee Le Brun, and Duccio probably need to be toned down. Same goes for the tossup on Gluck. Two factual errors from the set: the Lagrangian mechanics bonus part gave the wrong formula for the Lagrangian, and a bonus part on impulse called it the derivative o...

Music notes as clues/what is music knowledge?
Hey, I was trying to write some (high school level) music tossups recently and had a bit of trouble. Some questions for people who know more about this than I do: Are music note patterns helpful clues? I can see how they could easily be recited too quickly for a player to understand, but I feel like...

Re: QuAC II at UPenn in Phila., PA (11/21/09)
Hey, just checking, but is this tournament definitely using HSAPQ set #10, or some other numbered HSAPQ set? That seems to be the set Gonzaga/St. Anselm's February tournament is using. (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7910#p159799)

There were several factual errors in questions and a few unduly hard bonus parts, as well as a few misplaced powers. Two parts ...
