Hi everyone.

This took a lot longer than I expected to finish. For the past two years, I’ve been in a decidedly fortunate situation within college quizbowl. I’d like to thank a couple people who’ve helped welcome me into it, starting with my club: You don’t need to be told how scary of a player Eve Fleisig is, bu ...

The form seems to be inaccessible, at least for me

What does QUARTET stand for?

Is there any update on this?

Here’s some people I’d like to shoutout I’ll start by shilling some NorCal people Richard Lin is really, really good at lit and should be somewhere in your t3 lit ballot at the very least. He went 15/36/8 on HARI, 15/22/15 on mRNA, and 14/14/7 on ARCADIA, and the majority of his points come from lit ...

Thanks for keeping the entry fee low, wouldn't want to be the target of your next hit.

Will there be any attempt to incorporate coffee-related content given the set name?

I think Cal Cup 3 bore out the above assessment pretty well. Three teams finished 5-3, and I don't know if anyone would have predicted a championship game of Bellarmine–Irvington going into the day. While some good teams like Stanford Online and Saratoga were missing, there seems to be a lot of p ...

General Thoughts With Cal Cup 3, the first in-person tournament in the NorCal Circuit after just under two years :party: , coming up very soon, I thought I’d do a post on the teams in this circuit. This was originally supposed to be sent in the preseason, but a lot of things got in the way, so here ...

Is there a minimum payment — can a team bring four moderators to play for free or is there a $40 limit on the discount? I also see that this is the New York mirror, but is it strictly region-locked as an online tournament?

Is there a minimum fee for this tournament — ie can a team bring two moderators and two buzzer sets to play for free?

This set had a lot of interesting concepts. The execution could have maybe gone better but I'd also like to see another iteration.

I'll talk about some players in the NorCal circuit who should receive your consideration. Keshav Kumar and Richard Lin have received discussion so far but I'll reiterate that they deserve to be on your top sophomores list. Keshav has had one of the biggest improvements I've seen from from his ...

I unrelatedly found out today that penguin and random house have been merged into one company for some time. For the bonus that asked for the largest publishing company, or something to that effect, we were going between penguin and random house, deciding on the former and being told the answer was ...

May I see the flipping a coin tossup?
