I will be attending the University of Virginia next year and plan to play quiz bowl there.

The jury is still out as to whether or not we'll be there. It's the day after we get back from KB State so there is still some uncertainty among my players about if they want to go or not. Also, will there be a reduced rate for rogue high school teams? Despite our school's massive amounts of money, ...

In regards to the ties, I would have liked nothing more than to have playoffs, especially for a spot in the finals. But keep in mind that we were under time constraints. I had two schools leave before the playoffs and completed and was feeling pressure from coaches to get the finals match started a...

I understand some of your points, forgive me if some of my arguments weren't the most thought out, it was late and I was half asleep while writing that. When I said that fewer tossups answered would skew ppb, what I meant was that since the number of bonuses heard would drop, the ppb number may be s...

Max, I was at TOSSUP/LARGESSE and while I agree that the questions were a bit easy for the underclassmen, I talked to our middle school team too, and they thought that the questions were of a reasonable difficulty. However, I see no reason for the spring incarnation of this tournament to use harder ...

This is just a little thing, but it's impacted me twice this season already and will probably affect others as the year progresses. When scheduling meets, if at all possible could TD's try and work around SAT/ACT test dates? I just found out that I cannot play GINVIT, a meet I like and was looking f...

I think there's a pretty big difference between the difficulty of league and regular difficulty college questions which is what MOO and MAGNI were. Maybe I'm totally wrong but somehow I didn't think the rest of my team would have wanted to go to MOO to face open teams on 8 line questions. It also a...

I played the first round of league today. The questions were far too short with easy lead-ins and there was far too much non-academic stuff as usual. But on the bright side it seems playoffs have been changed for single to double elimination. Although this will approximately double the length of pl...

St. Thomas will have a team or two there. We will be going rogue.

Saint Thomas will have a team there.

Mike, I was bcc'd on an invite email you sent and just wanted to confirm whether or not this tournament is open to high school teams as well?

It seems like quitting knowledge bowl would solve most if not all of your problems. I wish it were that easy. The problem with that is that Knowledge Bowl has become such a major part of the team that it would be hard to eliminate. Also, our middle school coach is fairly influential in the Knowledg...

I think one of the other issues is that many teams, mine included, compete in Knowledge Bowl in addition to the various Quiz Bowl events throughout the year. This adds a considerable number of events to my team's schedule every year, roughly 9 or 10, making additional quiz bowl events harder to atte...

Sorry for the lateness of my reply, but I would like to confirm that Saint Thomas will have one team. However, we are going rouge and do not have the school's financial support. Is it possible to try and negotiate a slightly reduced fee?

I'm interested in going, I'll pitch the idea to my team Monday and get back to you.

I will be bringing two teams

I talked to my team yesterday and I got a very good response. We may actually have enough people interested in going to form two teams. I'll have to get back to you with a final count.

Saint Thomas will have a team, although it may just me me playing solo. Either way I will be there.

I am definitely interested in attending. Whether or not I can get a team together is a different story. I'll need to get back to you on that.

Actually due to conflicts with standardized testing Saint Thomas will have to drop out.

Saint Thomas will have one team.
