I apologize for the lack of announcements and updates. This tournament is still happening and all participants should receive an email with the server link within the next couple days. Payments can be made via Venmo @Jade-Anderson-32 or PayPal [email protected].com From there, they will be donated to...

Wolfie Bowl happened and it was a moderate success! I'd like to thank all the players who competed. Everyone did so well and it was great that the set was mostly well received. I'd also like to thank the staff. They did a great job even when stuff got confusing. We really couldn't have done it witho...

Wolfie Bowl Subcategory Distribution EDIT: This has been fixed so that every value more or less adds up to the road category distribution. Some may not add up to exactly 1 because of decimals. I apologize for what might be the ugliest distribution ever. I also apologize for doing the math incorrect...

IMPORTANT UPDATE We are two days away from the tournament. We need everyone to pay their entry fees as well as join the server. If you have not gotten the server link or unsure if you have paid yet, please contact [email protected].com There will be a staff meeting on Friday 3pm ET for staffers who ...

Same as Mike Cheyne, I'd be happy to play for a team that isn't full

JA01

We reached our max amount of teams. Any new teams that register will be put on the waiting list. Players who have not registered, but are on a registered team can still sign up. We have a couple spots open still for free agents. Also if you have less than four players of your team and unless you hav...

Traditionally, I think it's best to playtest high school questions only with players who are ineligible (i.e. graduated from high school.) Else, you create weird incentives and it's harder to reveal answers because there isn't as much contact between current potential players of this set and colleg...

The Stony Brook team is holding playtesting sessions for our upcoming Wolfie Bowl tournament. Sessions will be held July 13-16 at 6 pm EDT over a Discord server. Players that have registered already for Wolfie Bowl CANNOT participate in playtesting. If you're thinking of registering, but have not do...

The field cap is now extended to 16 teams. I advise those who signed up as free agents to arrange a team as soon as possible or I will arrange teams based on the list order on the spreadsheet. Once you do organize a team, email or PM me to let me know. I also might have to put free agents on already...

JA01

There about 3 teams in the waitlist as of the time I am writing this. I need more staffers to increase the cap. I hope to increase the cap because I want everyone who wishes to play, play. To reiterate, staffers will be paid $20.

JA01

The notion of writing an entire tournament question set in a month brings a lot of skepticism. Many of the concerns is that the questions will not be of high quality given the amount of time spent writing and editing them. I recommend postponing the tournament until August at the earliest and possib...

JA01

The 12 team cap is just about full. If I get more staffers, I will raise the cap. Those interested in staffing can sign up on the spreadsheet that’s in the original post. Staffers will be paid $20.

I need to add a round to a format on Packetizor. How do I do that?

Is this tournament HS-open or closed?

open

JA01

open, but like only for high schoolers or college freshmen

JA01

Quick update: So the difficulty has been modified just a teeny bit. I previously said it was equivalent to an IS-A set, but now it's somewhere in between IS-A and IS-S. High schoolers should still be able to answer the questions.

JA01

48 teams a whole lot to have for an online tournament. Also, are you accepting outside staffers?

JA01

The packets are about 70% finished. Make sure to register!

JA01

Now offering payment of $20 to staffers for CAMP and I will also put forth at least an additional 7% of the funds to go to the charities to ensure a substantial amount is donated.

JA01

"open to all"

so is this only HS or is it open?

JA01

The past few days in the U.S. have hard to watch. This tournament started as a way to raise money for those suffering from the Covid-19 pandemic, and now it will additionally raise money to combat inequality. The proceeds of this tournament will now be completely donated to Feeding America and The B...

JA01

Just curious, when will payment for staffers be distributed?

JA01

CAMP will be on August 8, 2020. Because it’s so far in advance, I’m temporarily closing registrations until it’s closer to the tournament so all the spots don’t fill up so quickly. If I can get more staff, I can raise the cap. Even teams or individuals who registered before May 24 are still good to ...

I am pleased to announce two quiz bowl packets in the style of NAQT that are all about Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. I have written and edited both packets myself. A lot of people have been watching and rewatching ATLA since it has been recently added to the Netflix collection, so ...

I’m organizing a house written tournament on August 1 and an all film tournament sometime after that in August.

JA01

To be honest, since there are only four packets and there are teams, I wouldn't mind having bonuses. But they do make an event longer and harder to write. I was experimenting with bonuses in the set, but it did make it more difficult to write and would slow down the pace a lot. For now it’ll be tos...

JA01

Ooh, exciting! Any projection of what the trash/art, English/foreign-language, old/new balances will be? I can’t guarantee an exact distribution of time periods, but there will be more English speaking films since those are more known at least where I’m from. Still there will be some foreign films ...

Depending on the date, sounds fun...looking for a team.

BTW, you say "no bonuses" but the distro still has things like 8/8.

Oh wow. I just realized that. My bad, I will fix that
