Re: Lightning Run II: The Sequel (4/23/21) (HS Open)

To clear up the confusion:

People playing this tournament must NOT be able to play a novice tournament in good faith, meaning that they are too experienced to play in the novice division.

This tournament is for experienced players.

Re: Texas 2019-2020 Discussion

First off, I’d like to say thanks for making a Texas quizbowl discord server! Keep publicizing it, and hopefully it can soon become a hub for relevant discussion. I’m a little bit confused about Plano West’s ranking. You remarked that Greenhill had a spectacular finish at HSNCT and ranked them in Ti...
