Nice questions, Ahmad. Was there a 20 line limit on TUs? :lol: Just kidding -- they were quite well-written, but I guess I have been out of QB for awhile, because I only knew about half of those even after the "giveaway." Makes me wonder if I am forgetting more stuff from college (I don't ...

Twenty teams descended onto the lovely Tampa campus of the University of South Florida on Saturday for the eighth annual Novice Invitational Quiz Bowl Tournament, this year subtitled: “Halloween Buzz 2007.â€

HALLOWEEN BUZZ 2007: The Quiz Bowl Team at USF cordially invites you to attend its 8th annual NOVICE INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT on Saturday, October 27, 2007 in Cooper Hall on the campus of the University of South Florida in Tampa. Over the past seven years, this event has grown to more than 20 teams ...

The question mark is somewhat disconcerting. What does that mean? Means the team has not been meeting or even communicating too much lately (AFAIK), and I don't know what the status of USF's support for this tournament is. I assume you have been in touch with Ahmad or Rob, or whoever initially cont...

We have all been very busy at USF and forgot to schedule our 8th annual Novice tournament. We are ...

Sorry, we have all been busy at USF, and forgot to schedule our 8th annual Novice tournament. We are planning to do it; however, it looks like we are pretty much out of dates in 2007. What do you think about doing it in early 2008? Nov. 3 - ACF Fall at VCC Nov. 10 - FSU high school Nov. 17 - USF may...

This is just a public service reminder for those forced to go to low-quality tournaments that the word Presbyterians is an anagram for Britney Spears. Oddly enough, this one was popping up about once a year for a little while. Here are some "geek" anagrams that appeared in Hacker Jeopardy...

Ahmad, it was a fun if not challenging tournament. I will refrain from the usual chatter about repeated question themes, etc. As you said, tournament editing isn't for the faint-hearted. I enjoyed myself and was impressed that Kevin didn't look at all rusty, and Jim got some crazy obscure stuff. You...

Thanks for doing this Ahmad. You can count on me for a packet, although there's no way I can live up to those examples.
