Thinking Cap Quiz Bowl

Good morning, My school wanted me to look into Thinking Cap Quiz Bowl and I just wondered what the community has experienced with this online quiz competition. I had a bad experience with a diifferent online quiz bowl organization so I'm a little leery but I haven't found any other posts relating to...

Re: 2023 NAQT SSNCT: April 28-30, Chicago

Amazing event as always. I thought I saw some people recording some games. Is this for something online or was it just a livestream thing or did I just completely misinterpret what they were doing?

Re: Mellon Bowl XIX, Pittsburgh (10/29/2022)

Are we going to get attestation forms soon like last year? These are forms it would be better to have sooner rather than later. Asking teachers to do all of this last minute is less than ideal. I hope I don't sound salty lol. I truly appreciate you coordinating this event.

Re: 2020-21 Groger Ranks Player Poll: RESULTS POSTED

If that kind of behavior is happening at an event, that is something that is completely unacceptable. Did you consider reporting this to the tournament or to the coach of the teams that were saying those things?

Re: Pennsylvania's state quiz bowl "championship" is poor -- how can we fix it?

Our IU (Beaver County next door to Allegheny) had never heard of the PA State Championship and had no interest in running a tournament or sending a team. It was opposite the SSNCT so it ultimately wouldn't have mattered and it sounds like we aren't missing much. Unfortunately, the majority of school...

Re: I Want To Help Grow My Home Quizbowl Circuit

I am the coach from South Side in Beaver County, PA. I agree with everything you've said here. I have tried over the years numerous times to spark an interest among other local schools, especially Beaver County schools. Given the size differential between many Pittsburgh schools and more rural schoo...

Re: Mellon Bowl, Pittsburgh, 10/27 CANCELLED

On behalf of the South Side Quiz Bowl team, I want to thank the Mellon Bowl tournament director and staff for how they handled a very difficult situation. It was a confusing, and ultimately, tragic day and they did their best to keep everyone calm and safe. From the perspective of a teacher, I was e...

Quiz Bowl ESL Student

Good afternoon. I hope this is the right place to post this. I have a student that was thinking about playing quiz bowl. The thing holding them back is their English language struggles. The student seemed discouraged when they had (in their view) a very bad first practice. I tried to explain that th...
