The Quizbowl Resource Center

Adam Harsha was definitely a class act. I predict RM will take home the title again. I'll certainly be rooting for them. It feels better to lose to a champion than a finalist. I suspect anyone who has sex and wins It's Academic (or even competes in the finals of It's Academic) on the same day is eit...

WJ, Blake, and Richard Montgomery are in the finals.

I'm also in the college, and I've already been discriminated against by a Wharton person. Damn their eyes

I'm Mike Kettler from Gonzaga, and I am a senior. I just decided yesterday that I'll be going to Penn. Is anyone else here a future Quaker? Do they have quiz bowl there? I might be casually interested.

How will the trash game work? Is it one school versus another or will there be other teams formed? Do you get to choose your opponent?

Does anyone know about the status of the tournament that is supposed to be held at Centennial High School in Maryland next Saturday, April 16?

The questions were difficult, which was cool for TJ, but not so cool for almost everyone else. Someone whose game I read for answered "Ulick Sack" to a question about a Russian author (I think it was Turgenev) because he was so frustrated. There were also some absurdly low scores, like 60-...

The enormous threads about other regions made me feel guilty, so I'll try to start a discussion about my beloved DC area. Everyone knows about the It's Academic jabberwocky that is TJ, but here is my personal ranking of the best teams in the area, not including TJ or my own. 1. Richard Montgomery A ...

I'm Michael Kettler from Gonzaga, and I ran our tournament the past two years. However, I'm a senior, so maybe the questions won't be so crappy next year. That being said, our underclassmen have expressed interest in hosting a tournament once again, although I don't know when it will occur. I will w...

I love the Top Gun aliases for the players on TJ A, especially Rabbi, which may be the most obscure reference of all time. Wasn't that the pilot name of one of the film's technical advidors?

My guess would be state governors

Does anybody else want to go to Michigan?

Yesterday, Thomas Jefferson B, led by Dan Wright, defeated Thomas Jefferson A in the finals of the second annual Gonzaga Academic Tournament. Centennial A defeated Eleanor Roosevelt in the third place game. Each member of the winning team received a DVD of a classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film (Comma...

I'm just trying to get a feel for how many, if any, teams to expect. I've heard about some possible conflicts with PSAT testing and other events, and I want to know how our turnout could be affected.
