Re: Junior Wildcat at Northwestern 2/21
This was an outstanding tournament, and I'm very grateful for the invitation to attend. The experience will prove very beneficial to my kids as we look to improve our performances here at home. I really enjoyed the questions and the format - too bad we don't do anything close to that around here. Th...

Re: Junior Wildcat at Northwestern 2/21
We are in town and will definitely be there tomorrow! Hopefully the weather doesn't prevent too many more teams from coming. We'd hate to drive all this way and not have the chance to compete. Drive safe everyone - we don't care if the tourney starts late if need be, so if you're coming try to leave...

Re: Junior Wildcat at Northwestern 2/21
We're leaving tomorrow morning and staying in a nearby hotel Friday night. Here's hoping weather issues are minimal not only for us, but for all the teams a little more local!

Re: Middle School QB help
As someone who played Middle School Quizbowl in rural Michigan (Corunna to be exact), I can say that "novice high school tournaments" pretty much don't exist, but I guess things could have changed since '98-'01. If things are run the same from when I was in school, schools generally play ...

Re: Middle School QB help
I don't really want to enter a national tournament with my middle school team because competition-wise we just wouldn't match up, plus there are transportation and logistical issues. This is probably the one time I will advocate following this general course of action, although for a different reas...

Re: Middle School QB help

We compete in small, rural county league in Michigan, with us and 3-4 other schools (most schools enter multiple teams.) Our fall/winter season format is 25 toss-up questions per match, with 5 matches per competiti...

Hello - I am a middle school quiz bowl coach looking for advice and practice tips. We generally practice once or twice each week, where mostly we do simulated matches. I have a good collection of kids, but their development has somewhat stalled, and we're not performing as well in tournaments as we ...
