Re: Bardbowl I @ BHSEC Manhattan, New York, NY (2/10/18)
EDIT: NO LONGER NECESSARY Due to a numerically unfortunate assortment of drops and additions, we are now down to 25 teams. As this number is very inconvenient, and we would much prefer either 24 or 26 (+2 house) teams, we will now be instituting standby registration. How this will work: any team tha...

Re: Bardbowl I @ BHSEC Manhattan, New York, NY (2/10/18)
Our field is filling up quickly with only two weeks to go: we encourage teams to register soon! We will raise our field cap to 28 teams if there is sufficient interest, and our hard cap is at 36. Also, we've had some interest from NYU and Columbia students to help staff the tournament, and we ask th...

Studying Science as a Humanities Player

Re: The Current State of New York City Quizbowl
Thanks for replying Chloe; getting right to the point, you are totally right that the ripple effect is super-duper important in expanding quizbowl. Right now, there are probably less than 100 high schoolers in NYC who play quizbowl regularly. One or two strong programs at well-known (hopefully large...

The Current State of New York City Quizbowl
First of all, let me preface this by saying that I’m a quizbowl novice in the most basic sense: I founded my team in December 2016, and we attended our first tournament in February 2017. All in all, I’ve been playing quizbowl for less than a year. Therefore, I do not claim to write about the sport w...

Bard will no longer be attending PHSAT XXV do to its conflict with Yom Kippur. We hope our departure opens up some much needed space for other teams.
