Re: DC Metro Date Claim 2022-2023
So it's been a few years since our team over at QOHS was competitive. And most of the events in our area had devolved into four magnet schools bringing 5 teams each and weren't that fun.

Re: It's Academic Predictions and Beltway League Discussion
I like this. Another thing we could talk about, is how we can get some of these teams who DO compete (sometimes even successfully) to make the big jump from keegan/mac speed questions to pyramidal quizbowl. No reason schools like poolesville, churchill, wootton, sherwood, etc couldn't do it!
