Could we get a field update for this tournament?

Hello, Richard Montgomery would like to tentatively claim December 13th for our annual Winter Novice Tournament.

I’d like to give some of my thoughts about the DMV circuit next year: National Contenders TJ A I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that TJ will be the #1 team in the country (especially on mACF), given that they have an argument to having the best science and literature coverage in the country. TJ’s...

Uh yeah, so here's another few players you might want to consider: Arthur Delot-Vilain has been hugely shadowed by my #1 player in the country, Matthew Siff, consistently throughout the season, but he is a budding generalist in his own, with deep knowledge in history (See his really strong A Set Bee...

Thank you Justin for doing this. First I'd like to shill a few people who deserve to be on the Top 10. Matt Siff, no doubt, 100% is the man at #1. Katherine Lei is not only arguably the best science player in the country, but she has evolved into some humanities areas such as lit and fine arts, wher...

Congratulations to GDS A for going 10-0 and clearing the field!

Richard Montgomery is happy to announce RM Spring Invitational, its mirror of HFT XIV! The tournament will take place on SUNDAY, February 23, 2020, at Richard Montgomery High School. The tournament will be using the HFT XIV regular-plus difficulty question set; more info can be found here: https://w...

RM would like to claim Sunday, February 23 for its RM Spring Invitational mirroring HFT XIV.

Matt Siff and I decided to write a little preseason writeup of the roughly top 20-25 teams in the country going into next season, grouped by region. Here it is below: DC Metro Area Region: Blair A and B Blair is scary. Whatever lineup they put, whether with Matt and Shawn, or with Chris in, they are...

Were there any tossups on “Arthur Miller” or “Phillip Roth” and if there were could you post them? Thanks!

Could you post conversion stats on "Ivory Coast", "Mutiny on the HMS Bounty", and the geography bonus on the Azores/Canary Islands (Rd 1 or 2 I think)

Matt’s commentary of the teams for next year was spot-on! Although the region will be losing a lot of talent (Anson, Olivia, Daniel, Ian, Dan among others) I believe that this year’s field is extremely competitive as well. A few words from me: 1. GDS is going to be VERY, VERY good next season and I ...

In the spirit of this discussion, I would like to vouch for some of my teammates as well: Daniel Yang should definitely merit a lot of consideration to be in your top 10 science poll. He has put up great stats all throughout the season and has competed very well against the likes of Katherine Lei an...

I really enjoyed the set and thank you to all who contributed to this set! Could I see the tossups on "Joy Luck Club" and "Pinkerton" because for Joy Luck Club, I did read the novel and felt that I should've got it earlier and I want to see the clues before I got it. I would like...

Could I see the tossups on "Hull House", "Cameroon", and "Governor of Wisconsin"?

The podcast and the overall poll was some amazing work! Great job guys!

I believe Georgetown Winter was run on WHAQ III: http://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/5379/

Alright, then we're missing the Georgetown Spring Tournament on BHSAT: http://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/5728/

Is Georgetown Winter the same thing as the Georgetown Spring Tournament run on BHSAT?
