The Quizbowl Resource Center

I would like to join :)

So then how do generalists know a lot about everything? Do they just spend a ton of hours reading packets upon packets of tossups on basically everything?

So basically people get amazing at quizbowl by reading summaries on the internet about books that come up, reading packets, going to tournaments, and looking at random stuff on the internet? That's basically what I've been doing. Also, with reading the books and short stories If it takes me 3 hours ...

So in order to maximize my time for studying, what should I be doing? I'm a Sophomore, and this is my second year in QB (did it last year as a Freshman). I want to get good. Really good - HSNCT Level by the end of the year. I have 2 hours a weekday to study and around 6-7 hours on the weekend of stu...

I try writing questions, and my coaches say that they're turning out okay, but I don't seem to remember all the information given to me. I get mixed up with characters from b...

So should I be writing Bonuses or Tossups? Some people tell me to start off writing one-line easy bonuses, while others tell me to write short tossups. Which should I do?

So, I'm a freshman in high school, and I have been in quiz bowl since the start of this year. I have talked to one of the better players on my team, and he suggests writing questions, so when I went to a tournament last week, I wrote down the answers to the tossups and some bonuses, planning to writ...

Hello! I'm new to this forum, and Quiz Bowl in general, so excuse me if me questions appear incredibly stupid. So basically, I'm a Freshman, and I have absolutely no idea what to study. My first tournament was yesterday, and I only averaged something like 10 points per game... Most of my points came...
