List of Country Answerlines
Justine French and I made this document with answerlines and alternate answerlines for countries. This should still be considered a work in progress, so let us know if there are mistakes. We used the CIA World Factbook for country names.

Re: Wider camera requirements for online quiz bowl
This thread has been quiet for a few months, but I'd like to add a few thoughts and respond to a some of the points raised earlier. First of all, iriun, the webcam app that Albert talked about in his original post, is super easy to use. Between installing the app on my phone and installing the deskt...

Re: LONE STAR ready for mirrors, 2020-21, HS Regular Difficulty
What packets are similar to LONE STAR? Just wanted to know how to study for my next upcoming tournament on 12/19. Of the sets from the 2019-2020 season that can be found on quizbowlpackets.com, LONE STAR is most similar to CALISTO, LOGIC, WAIT, and RAFT. It is also similar to NAQT's Invitational Se...

Re: Resobowl - A Charity Music Tournament for BLM (Good Call NYC)
This looks like a great idea for a tournament, and I'm excited to play. I have a few questions. When will the tournament take place? How many rounds can we expect to play? And how many players can play on each team at a time? Thanks.

Career Stats Google Sheets Template
I recently turned a Google Sheet that I have been using to track my mACF stats across my quizbowl career into a template that anyone can make a copy of and use for themselves.

Re: (8/22/2020) 2020 MS Kickoff Tournament, hosted by LONE STAR
Relative to other sets that have been used at online middle school tournaments (RAFT, WAIT, MVS RAMS, James Blair IV), how difficult are these questions. (I am most certainly aware that these are all regular season high school level, but they can vary and it would be helpful to know which one of th...

The only remaining Sheets-to-Excel conversion problem ...

Online Tournament Honor Pledge
The idea of an honor pledge that all players must sign before playing in an online tournament was recently raised on discord. The consensus seemed to be that this idea would be at least somewhat effective at deterring dishonesty and that implementing an honor pledge would have few downsides in terms...
