Next year we should have a separate ballot for the Canadians most skilled at quizbowl and the best Canadian community members so we can properly recognize people who are awesome people, but not necessarily the best quizbowl players.

Submitted a ballot. Remember, #votevardomskaya!

I'll note that Tamara Vardomskaya should be on everyone's ballots because she led the Chicago C team with 23 PPG and 7 powers at the stacked main site of "stanford housewrite" and put up 21 PPG as part of the Chicago C team that finished 20th at ACF Nationals.

If you were born on Canadian soil and you're not there as part of diplomatic staff, you're Canadian. Period. Now you know more about Canadian citizenship law than Ted Cruz did before 2013.

The clue about the HMS Agincourt in the Brazilian First Republic tossup is sub-optimal for two reasons: 1. Commissioning has a technical military meaning (officially entering into service with a navy) that is different from its everyday meaning (putting in an order). In the case of the HMS Agincourt...

One of the least enjoyable things about this tournament for me as an American was how conspicuously Canadian it felt. There were not just a huge bunch of hockey questions, but Canada-centric music and TV as well. This isn't an objective flaw of the tournament by any means, but it was very noticeabl...

The team of Liao/Otsason/Rajasekaran which formerly planned on at the Maryland site will now be playing at this site. I've added them as a team to the field, because I'd imagine they still want to play together, but still intend to run this with four teams to maximize playing time. This means we ca...

The Lisgar Dragons, Sheena, Nadia and Katriona, won Stegosaurus Bowl, winning both of their seeding matches and going undefeated in the top room.

So Colonel By just dropped 3 of the 8 teams in this field, so the format is up in the air now. The current plan is dividing/combining Lisgar teams to either make a 4 or 6 team field and running a double/triple round robin plus finals. If the teams present want to use some other format, we would resp...

There is an option in Word (and Pages) to turn off tracking for spelling/grammar errors, which greatly improves readability.

This was a really fun set to play, and having so much historiography in one tournament was a super cool experience, so thanks to Jacob and Will for writing this.

paperwork for nats takes at least three months. Isn't that what wildcard bids are for? NAQT wildcards start in February, which is borderline too late for schools in the main Ottawa board.

Incidentally, I strongly resent the implication that our trophies were in any way "dime-store."

If the first couple of words of a tossup are not uniquely identifiable enough to justify buzzing, then one should probably not buzz, just as one wouldn't buzz two words in on a tossup beginning "This man..." This isn't a good analogy. If you're playing a tournament where it's very possible to get t...
