Not even to pointlessly glaze an Alabama team, but Hoover A will be really, really good in the next two years. T21 at HSNCT this year, they retain 3/4 of their A-team, and powerhouse Krish Nathan is only a sophomore.

That explains it then lol. Would be playing Varsity but I had a schedule conflict.

Good luck to all Arkansas teams playing the New Orleans phase of Chip Bowl this weekend. (Little Rock Central and Russellville I know are on our schedule for JV) Hopefully we can all get out of Chip's grasp soon, but maybe the questions will be a little better this year? I played the virtual one ...

Just watching the live scorecard updates from home was exciting enough!

This author claimed that “perfection is terrible, it cannot have children” in “The Munich Mannequins”. This author started one of her famous poems with the line “I have done it again. One year in every ten” In that poem, this author claimed “Dying is an art, like everything else.” This poet of (*) L ...

Jazmine Sullivan TU, Michael K. Williams TU, The Dark Knight Returns bonus, Gillian Anderson TU, Dig Dug TU, 110-meter hurdle TU

Okay I've got to see this Dig Dug tossup!

Are they similar to the lightning rounds in NAQT's TV sets?

As someone who played in the Minnesota HS circuit as an 8th Grader and the powers that be were totally supportive of it, I really respect that your team held the line on that matter. My stance is: "If you have the competency to compete at a higher level, then you should be enabled to do so." It's ...

Yeah, our team's had some problems with this- Latika Prasadh played with us for her 7th and 8th grade years and the first year we're marked as "ineligible" at most tournaments where she played with us. Middle schoolers should totally be allowed to play for their direct high school though ...

I mean we have a really nice association in ASCA, but as far as elite teams go, like Mr. Henry said there's like five really good ones, and nobody in the Top 10.

Yeah, Georgia has 19 teams in the T300 of Groger Ranks and we have five. I love us too but I think Georgia has us beat.

I mean, most poetry isn't that long, and reading a poem a few times will probably make it stick in your head. I've started reading a little poetry (just a little!) recently and have already gotten some sweet 15s and 30s on bonuses. Quite a few plays are relatively brief and enjoyable too. if you ...

Leo Osborne from ASCTE is quite strong at VFA especially but he's pretty good at music too.

They'd be even better if they fit the title of the thread

My teammate Latika Prasadh is a pretty strong lit player, she's only a freshman too.

Can confirm, West Point A is a very strong team. Already lost to them once this season, and Brodie was even a little off his game that match. (Plus, they let a few of their A-team players play on their B-team so they weren't even at full strength :sad: ) Maybe ASCTE will win the open division and we ...

Great question. So while it is generally good in life to read the news and be literate in the issues of the day, it is not an effective way to study CE. If you want to study CE, you are studying to mostly get points at NAQT. Going to the Wikipedia list of elections for the year and learning the ...

They good at qb :D

They absolutely owned us. I think all five of their powers against us were first line or earlier.

Oh my God, they buzzed before the first line? They really are good at quizbowl.

I do a combination of Legal Eagle for explanations of legal concepts/current events in the legal world, and I've been a longtime subscriber of the Philip Defranco Show for keeping up with the news. These are both good sources, thanks. I learn some worldwide current events I was otherwise unfamiliar ...

What are some helpful websites/Youtube channels/etc. good CE players use to study? is there any notable trends for what sort of thing will come up in an NAQT set? (I really hate to ask "how to study," but I think in the case of CE where you can't really packet study it's kind of warranted.)

So yeah, like those who are much better than me have said Just study more, but I think I'm a little faster using a slap box than a handheld. My pointer finger is a bit faster than my thumb. And like Joe said, definitely do not prime.

When will stats be posted?

I'm not sure about the difficulty, it's a bit inconsistent to me, but probably just because of the theme. Maybe around 2-dot? My biggest concern is the placement of the powermarks. Typically, the first word outside of power should make a tossup significantly easier to answer. So like in the Poe TU ...

Thanks for a really fun tournament! The moderators and scorekeepers were excellent and it was a very enjoyable atmosphere overall.

Ok fantastic, that's exactly what I thought. Thanks!

Ok so I need to get this resolved by someone who knows what they're talking about. The way I understand it, in NAQT rules (unsure about other formats) if there is an article at the beginning of a title, it can be omitted and the answer is still correct. (I.e."Time Machine" is correct for The Time ...

3. Carding. After I take notes, I open up Anki (actually AnkiWeb in my case bc I have a chromebook).

Why did I not even know that AnkiWeb existed until this post?! Muchas gracias Russ.
