I might as well pitch in my fair share for the thread. This year our primary lit person (Viktoria Ohstrom) and a science person (Nalin Varma) have graduated to college, but we already have ample replacements or have been training them to recoup for those losses. Anyways... Farragut: The primary team...

Farragut High School is pleased to announce our first ever Admiral Invitational. This event will be held at the Farragut High School in Knoxville,TN on November 18th, 2017. We will being using an introductory high school set. This tournament will be an ideal tournament for anyone wishing to begin th...

Anyone else really excited for the release of Civ VI this Friday (10/21)? I've always loved the Civilization series since I was in elementary and it was what inspired me to read up on history throughout my life. I was initially a bit irked by the stylistic changes that were introduced, but now I am ...

I'm just curious if anyone watches or plays Smash Bros in the QB community. I watch both professional Melee and Smash 4, and this may sound ridiculous but my mental game and patience is heavily influenced by the professional players in both games.

Rosters are also based off of my memory and NAQT...

Do the Knox County schools even play quiz bowl anymore?? L&N is in downtown Knoxville, and yet Farragut and Cedar Springs (home school team) are the only schools representing Knox County. Its unfortunately only Farragut (that I know of in Knox County) that actively travels to tournaments on a r...

Farragut is still active, however its mostly just me and a few others who go to tournaments 2-3 times a month and they're almost always out of state (barring Ezell). I think its the learning curve that throws people off from going to tournaments, but there's probably whole threads about this topic. ...

I might as well give this a bump too, East Tennessee Quizbowl needs more tournaments.

Hello everyone. I have recently hit an impasse on how to train my history bowl team and on how to improve their overall interest in the subject. I've been learning from my past defeats and experiences while playing for Farragut High, and after witnessing the determination and knowledge of many top p...
