Oh and the DC final next week is Landon, Holton-Arms and WJ.

Well, not quite.... I have no idea who won the final. But I can tell you for sure it wasn't Hammond nor Perry Hall. Both of us lost in the semis. Dulaney won the first match, and Parkville defeated us in the second match. Although Parkville was good, I would imagine Centennial won. But that's merely...

Congratulations on your first round victory, Jeff.

Looking forward to meeting you later in the season again. ;)

Perry Hall should definitely be a good contender this coming year. Hammond's first round is with Atholton and Glenelg for an all Howard County opener. We tape November 18, and I believe it airs the second Saturday in January. A few of the teams we beat last year, including Perry Hall, Parkville, and...

The 8th Annual Green Eggs and Hammond Tournament will be held once again on the first Saturday of January, January 6, 2007. Tournament style is all conferring all the time, with shared categories like we've done for the last 6 years. Lots of tossups, no bonuses, and one round of individual questions...

What an amazing finish to a great tournament. Having lost to RM in the It's Academic championship a few weeks ago, I had a feeling they would show the rest of the country what they had been able to do all year. What hasn't been said so far, I'll add that RM was behind most of the second game, but wa...

shylar

Unfortunately, Hammond just couldn't figure out a way to beat RM to the buzzer. Jeffrey and the Chris's made a good adjustment to Zahren in the Superbowl--I think they were thrown off a bit by him in the DC finals, and figured out his timing for our match. Chris' anticipation was simply inhuman. The...

shylar

Thanks for the comments. Perry Hall certainly came to play.

You're right about that visual round. I think they scored 7 of the 10. And the Georgia O'Keefe question was just ridiculously fast.

We're going to be practicing our butts off this week--should be an awesome superbowl.

shylar

Hammond emerged victorious yesterday in the Baltimore Championship, defeating Parkville and Perry Hall--two very strong teams made up mostly of juniors who will certainly be contenders next year. The visual round proved to be the deciding factor as Hammond zapped most of the questions, then held on ...

Notre Dame is indeed the co-sponsor in Baltimore, and you'll love going to Emory, Alex. That was my first pick without money involved. Byko, thanks for the nod of confidence; we're knocking on wood about it, that's for sure. I was very proud of our team at the April 1 taping. Walkersville had an exc...

Hammond's Eighth Annual Green Eggs & Hammond will be held the first Saturday of January, as usual....January 6. Most schools will be back on Wednesday for that week.

shylar

Certainly fair comments. It was our school's first NAQT hosting, so we definitely learned quite a bit about what the readers need to know. All of the readers had read before at Green Eggs, so they at least at that part down. As for trophies, we're probably always going to be the oddballs, but we try...

shylar

Results are in, and posted at http://www.hammondhs.org/teachers/jenki ... esults.htm

Any feedback on the tournament is welcome here. We will be deciding during the next month or so if we wish to bid again for hosting again next Spring. Your comments will help us determine that.

I have not received a message from Blair yet officially. That needs to be via email to bjenkins@hcpss.org. We have extended the registration until Thursday at 2 p.m. The field as of now, with some maybes not listed: Blake Calverton (A, B) Centennial (A, B) DeMatha ER Glenelg Gonzaga Howard Quince Or...

shylar

This was by far the best first time tournament I've been to as a coach, and one of the top 10 overall. We learned a lot about NAQT power bracketing from this tournament, and will be implementing some of it next week for the MD HS Championships. Kudos to Alex for great communication, and a well-organ...

shylar

As requested, here is a field update. We are leaving registration open until Tuesday, or until we have 40 teams. School, Teams, Buzzers Blake 1 1 Calverton 2 1 Glenelg 1 0 Gonzaga 1 1 Howard 1 1 Quince Orchard 1 0 Reservoir 3 1 Richard Montgomery 2 0 Walter Johnson 2 2 Whitman 2 Please make sure you...

i fixed the link. Thanks for the headsup. I always forget that phpbb adds a period at the end of the link if you put it at the end of a sentence. The field on the site is about 70% up to date. I know Richard Montgomery has 2 teams that are coming, for example, and I'm sure that my email this weekend...

shylar

I had not noticed how buried this post had become. Anyway, the Maryland HS NAQT championships are two weeks away, and registration remains open for one final week. An added bonus for this year's teams: all teams receive the complete question set with their registration. Tournament info is located at...

The comment much earlier from Howard concerning Cavalier was regarding the Cavalier Challenge by Archbishop Spalding, which was scheduled for the same day, but has been canceled due to the competition with Blue Hen and WJ.

Thanks to all the teams for their excellent competition. Also thanks to Tini and Alyssa for their management of this year's tournament. One correction from above: RM held on for their three-peat.

As is posted elsewhere, Hammond High in Central Maryland (Columbia) will be hosting the state NAQT, March 25. Teams from Maryland and D.C. will be eligible for the competition. Due to the format, there will be more games for individual teams. We'll work on pricing later in the winter. We are open to...

hammond will be hosting its green eggs and hammond invitational january 7 , the first saturday of the new year, per usual. this tournament is open to everyone, and includes entirely in-house questions, a coaches' round, and simultaneous game play for all teams. we are bidding on the official marylan...

shylar

i like the idea of a buzzathon a lot. the only problem we may have with that is the collection of actual cash is frowned upon by our school system. certainly workable, though. and obviously tied to the game itself. great idea!

shylar

tournaments are definitely a great way to raise money, and our team has hosted 6 so far that have done well for us. however, it takes a lot of energy and collaboration from many different people to make them well-run, enjoyable for the teams, and educational. many teams are simply not equipped to ru...

shylar

first, let me say the way the buzzstrong bracelets idea came about is a fantastic display of democratic processes at work. long live free thinking. second, let me say up front that i would personally benefit (through my business) from the following proposal (which is intended more for coaches than p...

(back to an october post) Last year, I remember your individual round in the first round of the playoffs was on Yahoo games. The subject of Yahoo games is as trash related as you can get (even moreso than rap) and highly favors teams with a single player who plays these games. this is partially true...

hammond defeated the above teams 560-370-280 on october 30. the show airs in baltimore december 11 at 10 a.m. on channel 13.

shylar

we discovered a few years back that any round that is too heavy in any topic, trash or otherwise is unfair. so we have subject specific rounds as individual rounds, and split them evenly between the two teams. so you may get five questions about the simpsons, and five about rap lyrics, and then the ...

shylar

disappointed to hear about the questions. you all did a great job with the itsac format last year, and i hope your group gets some pep in their pens and write questions. i think there are too many naqt tournaments, which i think are not as fun for b teams and other inexperienced groups. i'm sure you...

shylar

hammond tapes saturday, oct. 30, so we will not be able to make it. i assume neither will glenelg or glen burnie as they are our opponents.

good luck with the day,

shylar

hammond will be there with at least two if not three teams. perhaps we will bring a boom box and play ride of the sneetches or eye of the lorax, or something like that....
