A) We scored 425 against Heritage B, not 525. I told the scorer that when I was signing the sheet, but I guess she didn't change it? B) In our match against Bassett A, the 5 tossups attributed to Tyler from my team are actually mine. Not a big deal, I guess, since it doesn't affect anything, but th...

Yup, they are all in the same Excel spreadsheet. I made three tabs. One for the playoff brackets, another to keep track of individual stats, and the third for the prelim matches and seeding.

Stats are here: http://members.cox.net/~kamikaze1/2008Stats.xls I will be e-mailing the copy of the questions to coaches who ordered them soon. All the coaches will be e-mailed these stats.

Quick results: Raleigh Charter A defeated Rappahannock Co. A in the finals. Heritage defeated Blacksburg to win 3rd place. In the Coach's Challenge, the Raleigh Charter coaches took 1st and 2nd with St. Gertrude's coach finishing 3rd. Mercersburg Academy's coach came in 4th. Thor from Heritage was t...

With 18 teams, is it safe to assume round robin with 3 groups of 6? You are correct, sir! I believe that they were going to try to do a Swiss system. I'm not sure if they will still try to do that. We were planning to do Swiss pairing but as we started hemorrhaging teams we just decided to keep it ...

kamikaze

Do you have times set for registration and an approximate ending time for the tournament? I was planning on sending you all some more details about times and parking (our lobby is getting a facelift... for some reason, they didn't do it during the summer). We are going to open registration up at 8 ...

kamikaze

We had a school drop out so the field is now open again. If you want to sign up some teams, let me know. Thanks.

kamikaze

Just letting you know that we've reached our cap of 24 for now and closing the field. If we have any other teams interested, we'll keep them on the wait list. If we have enough moderators, we can expand the field to 30. So far, a great looking field with teams representing 4 different states... a fi...

kamikaze

Hey just wondering, did the top10 players receive anything? Yeah. They got their choice of books. 20 were given out - 10 to the top ten high school kids and 10 to the top ten college kids. All in all, a good tournament. Kudos to Charlottesville and especially, Freeman, which did fairly well with ju...

kamikaze

I'm going to temporarily say that we wish to add a third team here at Rapp because we have a lot of people signed up. If this changes, I will post back here. I went ahead and put your new third team on the "interested" list but reserved them a spot for now. Let me know if it is a solid th...

kamikaze

Just a quick update. We have 20-22 teams right now and we may have to cap the field at 24. If we find any more moderators who can help us out, we can expand the field to accommodate. Any team submitting registrations after the cap has been reached will be put on a wait list. It's a good field formin...

You're correct, Shawn. Patrick Henry (Roanoke) just started up a team this year, it seems.

kamikaze

We had a good time, and would recommend Raleigh Charter's tournaments to anyone. Ditto. Kudos to Eric for running a smooth tournament. The electronic scoring has always fascinated me. Kudos to all the teams we played. There is a lot of talent in NC, especially Early College A and Greensboro Day. Th...

kamikaze

Thread bump. Also, today is the last day to receive the early registration discount. We already have a good field forming up for this year's tournament so be sure to get your registrations in as soon as possible. One of our team members has offered an idea that we're also bouncing around. In order t...

All in all, a great tournament once again. I'm glad this tournament is growing and things ran very smoothly. Mad props to Matt for hosting the tournament. I think the packets were weird in a lot of ways but that's NAQT for you. John - You have a good team there and we're looking forward to VHSL Dist...

After the UVA Cavalier Classic and before the EQUINE heading up, I guess I can toss in my two cents again: Oh yeah, duh, I'm not sure what I was thinking. Thanks for the correction. More competition for us. So, uh, Group AA will be pretty interesting as well. No kidding... after seeing Chuhern in ac...

kamikaze

Finally got a deal (actually, the same one) on the hotel rooms. It's the same place as last year and I went ahead and posted the information up on the original announcement. Also did a very preliminary field update. Happy Halloween everybody!

kamikaze

Cave Spring will probably bring 1 or 2 teams.

kamikaze

Cave Spring would like to bring a couple of teams and buzzer systems. Who do we contact?

kamikaze

Updated original announcement with more information and keeping the thread alive. Have at it. Oh, and due to public opinion, we are keeping the Category theme a secret.

kamikaze

Sarah beat me to it ...Sorry, Mr. Powers...I guess you're online more regularly now that the announcement's been posted than you have been the rest of the summer... No need for apologies, Sarah. I appreciate your feedback and help on the forum. I'll be more of a regular visitor when school starts u...

kamikaze

Sarah beat me to it but yes, we do house-written questions. Some of our distinguished alumni do contribute to writing the questions and we then have them edited by the head honcho of VHSL quizbowl, Shawn Pickrell. Each match consists of three rounds like Sarah said. The first round is 10 speed check...

kamikaze

Oops... my bad! It is an event on Facebook. I just misspoke/mistyped in my original announcement.

kamikaze

I am happy to announce the 3rd annual Cave Spring Invitational (CSI) will take place at Cave Spring High School in scenic SW VA. Roanoke, to be exact. We've scheduled our tournament for December 13, 2008. I understand that it's close to many school's winter breaks and there's a possibility of snow b...

kamikaze

Just chiming in about the tournament date. I was able to confirm December 13th for the CSI this year. I just haven't gotten around to posting the announcement on hsquizbowl just yet. However, I wouldn't want to step on your team's toes since your tournament obviously has a bigger draw of teams and t...

kamikaze

Well, we're coming back as well. Looking forward to visiting my old stomping grounds. :P I'm thinking we can pull at least two, maybe three teams. I'll let you know when we get back into session here. It's a great tournament if you guys have never been.

kamikaze

Cave Spring would like to host another edition of the CSI III. I think we're shooting for December 13th but I've been talking with our administration on whether or not we can lock down that date. Right now, it's tentative. Yes, more audio/visual questions and the Coaches Challenge is back again. Mor...

kamikaze

I got two teams going. I guess if there's a small schools division, we'd sign up for it. However, I'm thinking there isn't going to be one this time around. It's always been small and if Auburn isn't in, that makes that field even smaller. Are you guys trying out for small schools div, pretzeldude?

kamikaze

OK. With less than a week left, who's going to this thing? Is there a field update anywhere?

kamikaze

I got an e-mail with an invite to NAQT States. It seems like it is still on for the 19th, although there hasn't been an notification on hsquizbowl. Here's the link they provided for us in the letter though: http://www.student.virginia.edu/~quizbowl/register/

These are the teams that are registered for the SW Region Battle of the Brains as of March 19th, 2008:

Basset
Cave Spring
Eastern Montgomery
Honaker
North Cross
Parry Mcluer

Registration deadline is May 2nd! Please register through the website and information about the test will be provided for you.

kamikaze

First, congrats to TJ, Charlottesville and Radford... it was good to see old students of mine from the Summer Governor School, even if they were instrumental in our defeat. :smile: I share the same sentiments as my colleague Matt here... the difficulty seemed all over the place but maybe really easy...

OK... more info. This is from Dr. Tony Curtis at North Cross: "By the way, it looks like a go at North Cross unless we get over 80 folks, but we can talk if that happens. Check-in will be at 10:30 and the qualifying test will begin at 11:00 on Saturday May 10th. Everyone should be finished by 1...

kamikaze

Aw, nuts. We may have to miss this tournament as it is on the same day as NAQT States. Great tournament, though, and we always enjoy going to play there. The cost may seem steep but I believe that covers everybody's lunch as well (and their breakfast was pretty good to boot). If you got the money an...

I'm helping a colleague out here (as well as myself) by posting this announcement. I believe this is the right forum for it... if not, I'm sure the moderator will move it. Anyhoo, Battle of the Brains (http://www.battleofthebrains.net) is attempting to see if there's enough interest in running their...

kamikaze

Hmm... good question. I think in the AA and A, everything is up for grabs. In AA, it seems to be fairly even. Charlottesville seems to be the odds on favorite, even though they aren't as strong as they were last year. Heritage isn't as strong as they were last year but definitely could throw their w...

kamikaze

Cave Spring would like to register 1 for now. Possibly a 2nd one later if there's room. Bringing 2 buzzers. Thanks for hosting this tournament!

kamikaze

It was a great tournament and the kids had a good time. We always enjoy our forays into North Carolina. I think we were rather surprised that we did as well as we did, considering that the top teams in NC were there. Thanks for the compliments and for having us there. Heidi, our captain, is the blon...

kamikaze

Cave Spring would be in with maybe two teams... I'm fairly sure Bassett and Auburn would probably join the bandwagon as well.

Just got an e-mail from Samantha Oddi that the tournament is off due to logistics. Sorry guys.
