Re: 2012 Natl. History Bee & Bowl Nationals - 4/28-29 in DC
Logistically, how will teams know where to go in the afternoon? Will there be some official way of telling each team where they are playing, or will you just need to figure out where to go from the schedule?

Re: 2012 STANLEY CUP @ Georgetown Day (2/4/12)
1. Whitman
2. RM A
We (Whitman) cleared the field by two so there was no final. We left just as Blair-A, Gonazaga, and WJ were playing off a three way tie for 3rd. Thanks to the GDS team for running an efficient and fun tournament.

Re: General Discussion
In the Egypt TU, I don't think the "Gene Sharp" clue is uniquely identifying. I remember his work being cited by Iranian opposition groups and in the Velvet revolution. Don't get me wrong, it is a great clue, but I think it needs a few words to identify it with Egypt.

Re: High school tournaments and timed rounds
The only thing that annoys me about timed tournaments such as HSNCT is sometimes not hearing questions near the end of a packet. I feel that finishing 1 minute early is less annoying than possibly missing 2-3 questions and bonuses. Does NAQT have the average number of tossups heard per game at HSNCT...

I think why they looked it up on Wikipedia is because the answer that was given before the prompt was the same type of person as the actual answer.

(Note: Asgard and Valhalla were the top brackets)
Some teams have 6 games and that is because they chose to stay and play an optional final placement game.

That is true, but the files for the prelims were accidentally deleted and therefore we cannot change them. On another note we are having trouble posting stats for the playoffs so expect them on either Monday or Tuesday.
