Re: ACF Fall 2020 - Thanks and General Discussion
I noticed that several questions used "them" as a gender-neutral pronoun instead of "he" or "she," but this was not consistent. Was this the result of specific writers, or some specific packet submission? Is this something writers might consider for the future? (Was th...

Re: [TW: Sexual Harassment] Harassment in the THAT Online Quizbowl Discord

Re: Michigan Winter Tournament at Harvard (2/22/20)

Re: Matt Bruce (cw: sexual assault, pedophilia)
One thing that makes me especially uneasy is that if someone is comfortable enough to post about these inappropriate thoughts in a public forum, they are probably more likely to act on those same thoughts. Quiz bowl puts people in contact with hundreds or even thousands of competitors, most of whom ...

Re: New NAQT Individual Player NCT - April 15, Chicago
How will the top subject area (history, mythology, etc) awards be determined? Will only the preliminary rounds will be taken into account?
