The Quizbowl Resource Center

During my time at UCSD (2003-2006), the Quiz Bowl club and the annual intramural Quiz Bowl event were completely separate entities, and the intramurals were around long before any sort of club was. Assuming it's the same people, you may want to try working with them instead of saying they have to go...

I wasn't involved in setting up the schedule at Rutgers (though I staffed there), but I think I can at least understand where they were coming from in doing so. Part of the difficulty with trying to set up a format for this tournament was that it was trying to do two things at once, to both determin...

Am I missing something, or wouldn't the playoff groups just be the teams that played each other in rounds 12-14? (From looking at the team results in Taft, it looks like Div 1 had VCU/Princeton A/Rutgers A/Virginia A, Princeton B/Virginia B/Maryland B/North Carolina, Johns Hopkins A/Rutgers B/George...

If you're going to use a clever theme in a packet, why not save it for the bonuses instead of the tossups? The balance issues still remain, but there won't be any problems where people fraud tossups off of figuring out the theme.

How many math questions per match do those formats that eliminate computation have? I don't know if it's changed or not, but when I played in High School there were 5-6 math tossups per match. Combine that with the more limited scope of answer choices for high school matches, and it could be rather ...

Sorry for the lack of specificity... this was following the links given on the technophobia page to http://jerome.caltech.edu:8080/jerome/main.jsp , then clicking on the Technophobia project link to get to http://jerome.caltech.edu:8080/jerome/servlets/ProjectInfoServ?pid=14 , which had the error.

I'm still getting a "The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception java.lang.NullPointerException edu.caltech.jerome.servlets.ProjectInfoServ.doGet(ProjectInfoServ.java:60) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:743) javax...

IMSA is a public school, not a private one. I for one was never "recruited" for my scholastic bowl skills (or my math skills, for that matter), nor have I ever heard of that happening to anyone. On the other hand, it makes sense that IMSA attracts many of the same people who happen to be g...

The thing is, I don't think that the people reading this message (and voting in this poll) are those to whom CBI is aimed. Suppose you were trying to design a format that specifically was aimed at the once-a-year players, not to convince them to play more quizbowl but just to give them a fun experie...
