Re: 2020-21 Groger Ranks Player Poll
Hello! I guess I'll start this discussion off by shamelessly shilling my teammate. As typically the 3rd scorer on Belmont A, it's possible that Cindy Gao is flying under a lot of people's radar. However, I think you'd certainly be remiss not to rank her among the top couple sophomores in the country...

Re: Where are you going to college next year? (2021)
I'm planning on going to MIT, where I hope to stay pretty involved in quizbowl.

Re: Paired Tossups and Bonuses
Yeah, I don't think anyone is trying to make the argument that bonuses never make a difference, just that the difference they make is fairly small, and most of the time not enough to swing the game. I'm willing to bet that you could find a similar number of games in nationals top brackets that were ...

Re: The MONTHS TOURNAMENT: "secular 1" quadrant
1/64: June v Sip I, for one, appreciate goofy names. Also, June is when all the mosquitoes and stuff come out (at least where I live), and mosquitoes suck. 32/33: Qiyue v Kisaragi Hungry ghost festival just sounds awesome. 17/48: December v Eryue December's a good month. I might be biased, because i...

Re: The MONTHS TOURNAMENT: "ancient" play-in round
40 seed: Thargelion This one is like 10x as fun to say. Easy choice 49 seed: Gamelion Marriage is cool. Also, given I've already chosen one lion, I should probably give the lion a friend. 52 seed: Abu Abu just has a clean sound to it, and it doesn't need abbreviations to be 3 letters, which is defin...

Re: LOGIC Question-Specific Discussion
Hi! I just played this set at Lexington today, and while it was for the most part good, I think there were a couple of minor factual errors. I might be wrong, but I think in packet 6 there were a couple bonuses that weren't quite right. I'm sure it didn't affect conversion very much, because they we...

Re: New England Discussion '19-'20
Hi Emma! I just wanna say that I'm super impressed with how your team is doing. Getting two schools in the top 6 at HFT is something not many schools can do. I had no idea you guys were a new team - I just assumed you were some long established out-of-state program I'd never heard of! I thought you ...

Re: New England Discussion '19-'20
Thanks for making this, Douglas! I can't really speak for anything outside our regular circuit, which means essentially just MA and NH, and I haven't been involved with this game for super long so I'm not really sure I'm qualified to make any claims about what a strong circuit looks like. That said,...

Re: General Set Discussion
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed playing this set! I'm not the most knowledgeable about what constitutes good writing in quizbowl, but from the perspective of a player it seemed like the language was straightforward, the question difficulty was fairly homogenous, and the clues were interes...
