There's matches going from 8:20am CT to 8pm CT. Many of the usual suspects for Chip's tournaments are here. Finals are at 3pm CT on Memorial Day.

Um, no?

I see Anchorage in that schedule. Has Questions Unlimited broken into Alaska?

Their best player who likes good quizbowl is going to the NASAT instead. But they've been going to the NAC for years.

evilmonkey wrote:On a more serious note, I believe the subject of Chip vs. pyramidal has been discussed with Harrison multiple times. I don't think that Mrs. Schneider will budge from her support of Chip.
evilmonkey wrote:Before I launch into my argument, however, I would like to mention that Indiana quizbowl is in a bit of a slump. Harrison is down. St. Joe's is way down... This decline has continued until hitting a low this year.
evilmonkey wrote:The first way that alienating Harrison would hurt Indiana is by reducing the number of competitive teams in attendance at pyramidal tournaments. Currently, the teams that are interested in playing multiple pyramidal tournaments each year are Culver, St. Joseph's, Harrison, North White, North Miami, Pioneer, and Penn. North White, North Miami, and Pioneer are all small schools that have seen an improvement since their first tournaments but are still fairly weak. Penn is fairly inconsistent about coming to tournaments due to the overwhelming bureaucracy of the South Bend Public Schools (I believe that they have to have to have transportation requests in several months ahead of time). For tournaments that don't draw out of state teams, then, alienating Harrison means alienating competition.
evilmonkey wrote:The more important reason that alienating Harrison would hurt Indiana quizbowl is that such a move would effectively close off two thirds of the state. Of the teams that attend pyramidal tournaments mentioned above, only Harrison hails from the southern 2/3rds of the state. Moreover, Harrison has perhaps the most significant voice in that part of the state. Right now, their stance is one of "pyramidal is alright, but we prefer this".

She thinks QUnlimited allows girls to show their strengths in English and Literature better. (In fact, she very much likes vocabulary-based questions such as anagrams and synonyms because of this. The fact that such questions are non-pyramidal is not as important.)

Thought some of you might have that reaction.

I've heard that Copley's coach actually prefers QU to pyramidal formats. I'm not joking.
