Re: Distribution

It's simply the number of rooms that converted the tossup / the number of rooms that heard the tossup. Basically the YA Lit that isn't super famous/has been made into a movie had a lower conversion rate than Math Comp. I'm pretty sure out of every tossup read, those two YA Lit tossups were the only ...

West Coast Schedule Discussion

I am curious as to whether people see the west coast as one giant circuit or fragmented into NorCal and SoCal. Being poor desert folk, it is impractical for us to drive 10+ hours to the Bay Area more than a couple of times a year. It is obviously in our best interest to have all tournaments hosted i...

We will make an effort to go to this. If I am able to come I would like to run Eyes as Mike's creation is a masterwork not short of the original art pieces themselves.

I would also be willing to be a free agent, but I don't claim to know things.
