Re: 2015 NHBB/USGO Discussion Thread

Instead of cluttering with quotes, I'll organize by idea. Bee Playoff Format: Firstly, I like the idea of giving some sort of advantage to the best in the prelliminaries for the finals. But auto-advancement is a bit too much in my opinion. This isn't like Ken Jennings and Jeopardy where Ken put in a...

Re: Where Are You Going To College Next Year? 2014-15

I will be going to the University of Louisville (Speed School) next year, and (despite my NHBBTV interview) plan on playing quiz bowl (really for a rookie season) if it doesn't conflict too much with band stuff. If there's any UofL quiz bowlers who see this, an info PM/email would be greatly appreci...

Re: 2015 NHBB/USGO Discussion Thread

But I agree with the limited number of Sunday flights. My input on that (the flights) would be either to leave late on Sunday or leave early Monday. L...

Re: 2015 NHBB/USGO Discussion Thread

Firstly, to address all the bee stuff. I was one of the dozen or so who played bee with fewer than a half-dozen people on the buzzers. In the consolation final (played on the 6th prelim set), three of us played. It was definately much different than playing with more people in the room. There's less...
