As for the Class A teams, they know that the Catholic schools just know more and for the most part refuse to get better, so they complain and complain until they get their way. Excuse me? You'd better be talking about the downstate Class A teams. We're sending 75% of our confirmed varsity starters ...

HHHEEEEEEAAAAHHH!!! Ahem. Congrats to you guys for a job well done.

Ahh...which would be why I haven't heard of KMO cheating. I see. What if multiple teams played in the same building?

Something that is sadly left out of this argument is the facet of online quizbowl, perhaps because the technology is not there yet, or that it hasn't been applied to this at the level it needs to be to work at a national level, or because the only currently running system is run by :chip: .

Out of curiousity, will bonuses be done in IHSA format (all parts read at once, 30 seconds [or similar] to consider, then all answers given at once, then bounceback) or standard format (part read, answered, then bounced back before next part read)?

As long as some teams find a style where less knowledge is needed to have a good team/game/tournament, there will always be Chip's NAC. As long as some teams enjoy a more academic game, NAQT and PACE will exist. The two can probably not coexist peacefully, as those that support both sides are incred...

I have an idea. A bonus is bounced back if a team answers the tossup, but is not bounced back if the tossup is powered. It rewards the team with the tossup with the bonus, but if it wasn't good enough to power the tossup, it punishes them by allowing the opponent the bounceback. If a question is lef...

As per private schools, I think that for Scholastic Bowl, any Class A school which has either played in at least 3/4 State Series or won 2 should be moved up to AA. You mean Latin.
