Thanks to Guy and everyone at Livingston for a smooth tournament and a fun day. Managing a 48-team field is no small feat and the day went off without a hitch. Great to see so many friends old and new.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Bergen for another smooth day of quiz bowl and a fun tournament. Hats off to Ben Franklin and all the other teams - I watched some very exciting games and lots of excellent competition. It's nice to see middle school quiz bowl grow and wonderful to see the thrill...

Hunter will stake a claim to Nov 10 for our Fall tournament and Apr 6 for Prison Bowl.

EDIT: I meant Oct 13 for the Fall tournament - not sure how Oct 13 became Nov 10 in my head...summer thinking abilities. Sorry for the mixup.

Matt - sorry for not getting back to you sooner. We will move Prison Bowl, please go ahead with the March 2 plan for Bulldog. And expect to see us there! I'm not sure where either of our tournaments will go now, and I missed that there is no more FNT. So hopefully we will mirror SCOP sometime in the...

Hunter is looking at March 2 for Prison Bowl VI and October 27 for our Fall Novice Tournament. Happy summer, all!

EDIT: Should have read that more carefully - I'll try and move our October date to avoid conflict with FaCT.

Just wanted to say thanks to PACE for a well-run tournament. We had a wonderful time in St Louis and it sounds like a lot of other teams did too. I think it's safe to say that there wasn't a team in the superplayoffs that we weren't afraid of, and after HSNCT we were relieved that DCC A got knocked ...

Not to clog up the forum but just wanted to say hats off to Bellarmine and DCC - that was a thrilling end to a great tournament. Running a 240-team tournament on schedule was amazing, but to cap it off with that two-game finale was just incredible. Highly recommended viewing on iHigh if you weren't ...

Just a quick thanks to Matt and the entire crew at Y for a smooth tournament and a great day. Certainly we have come to expect a very high level of excellence in the content at Bulldog, and this tournament lived up to those expectations. But more than that, there is a special art to keeping all the ...

Just wanted to say thanks to Chris Romero and the multitudes who worked on putting this together. Repeat that phrase "30 matches in 24 hours" a few times - it was startling to experience that and of course would have been impossible without some amazing organization, incredible readers, he...

Just wanted to say thanks for a great day of good quizbowl. We are excited about the outcome but well aware that the coin could have easily landed on the other side, in both the Bowl and the Bee. So our hats are off to St Joe's, High Tech, Bergen, and all the great schools who came out for this even...

Oh my - this is not the first Hunter event that has been disrupted by a freak snowstorm (http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8643&start=50#p176489), but it is especially sad because this is the first tournament for some students. Obviously we hope this experience doesn't leave any of th...

Before I finalize our travel plans, can we get an idea when you expect the tournament to end? I seem to recall a few previous trips to Harvard going a bit haywire at the end. The last two Bolt buses from South Station to NYC are at 6:30pm (arrive 10:45pm) and 8:30pm (arrive 12:45am)...which one do y...

Just wanted to add our thanks to Brother Nigel and the Kellenberg crew for running another excellent tournament. LIFT is a tournament we look forward to each year, and for good reason. We ended a bit late this year, but to manage all those teams - including some staying/some leaving - it's an enormo...

I don't contribute much on these forums and I don't want to waste people's time by reiterating things that have already been said, but I'd like to add my perspective on what we here at Hunter have been referring to as "our asterisk". Let me apologize in advance for the word count. If you l...

Perfect! That will give us time to check out The Bean! http://www.cirrusimage.com/chicago_the_bean.htm

Thanks much.

Is there an estimate for the time things will wrap up on Sunday? Does anyone remember when things ended last year?

We are very excited about this trip to Chicago! Just want to make sure I didn't screw up our return plans.

Many thanks for a smooth tournament, a wonderful set of packets, and a great day of quiz bowl! The Yale crew was organized, efficient, and gracious hosts. Once again, Bulldog was well worth the trip.

I liked the use of the word 'ecphrastic' in the section about avoiding florid language. Dictionary.com came up short for me on that one...I had to ask a Latin student...

We miss you, Guy!

Maybe you don't need to hear the same thing from a third, but Hunter also cannot afford to pay that price for the chance of playing 5 rounds. If that issue is addressed then we would love to participate.

Lily could say this better than I, but I just wanted to say thanks for running a great show. We missed our 6:30 bus but that was just because of the thrilling finale against the thing we feared the most - LASA A! I don't think it was a coincidence that the final was in Room 101. To come all the way ...

I don't want to jinx anything here...but here's the current word. I just spoke with one of our Vice Principals, and she informs me that in addition to Prison Bowl, there are two other major events taking place in our building on Saturday. She is confident that the building will remain open on Saturd...

For what very little it's worth, just wanted to point out in our team's defense that we had a pretty clear understanding of the Harvard --> South Station travel time by Sunday afternoon, but at that point in the grim proceedings we felt that having dinner before our 4 hrs on the Bolt bus would be a ...

Happy to moderate if that helps. As Lily says, we should have a final count soon - we have some new recruits who are on the fence.

Maybe this information is already out there and I missed it...Saturday morning we meet in Robinson Hall like for WoQB?
