I thank Chris and the rest of RM for a great tournament that was well-run with excellent questions (although the lack of a question on hemorraghic fevers is a disappointment), and finishing rather early as well. It was a truly good way to end the Blair seniors' quizbowl careers (we're not going to a...

We have a few girls, although most only joined this year, and I think at least half of our A team will be girls next year after we leave...among the underclassmen on our team, I actually feel the girls are better than the guys...and they do fill in gaps on lit/art/music quite well. Of course, they a...

It was a great run tournament, especially at the beginning, you guys pulled the swiss pairing really quite well (and on time); I know our team definitely had a lot of fun. supposedly, the final match came down to overtime between gonzaga and blair and gonzaga won by 5 points. congrats to them and al...

I don't remember the exact wording, but we missed the one on Mexican geography, and distances between cities. Oh yeah, that one about which cities were farthest from Cabo and some other city. We said Cancun/Cozumel, which was decidedly wrong. I think we also guessed Ciudad Juarez and some other bor...

There seemed to be fewer horrible jokes this year, but maybe that's because the person we have using the computer immediately skipped any joke screen (to avoid having to see the puns). I made our typist do that. I would also scream expletives at the screen when they came up; the other seniors would...

Congratulations to RM A for simply kicking ass, as well. Furthermore, gracious thanks to bigtrain for his congratulations, although I m...

Our coach emailed by the producer, who then forwarded the email to the team. We're taping October 1, March 11(hopefully), then April 29(really hopefully). Of course...this means we can't go to TJ's tournament. Dammit...two blows in 2 days. We can't go to NAQT this year either, seeing as our prom is ...

Personally, I think it's somewhat like sandbagging, especially if it is to get into a harder bracket; although it could be justifiable, as determining which team is A and which team is B does have a certain amount of gray area attached. Also, if not all 8 players(or at least a good 6 of em) agree, t...

I'll agree with both Howard and Bigtrain here, Keegan and It's Academic Questions are actually very similar, save the format which differs. Both styles usually have a very obvious giveaway at some point, at which point the question does become a buzzerrace. Keegan questions, in my experience, have a...

Sorry about the question answers; one was from TJ house-written and the other from IS-46(which I dont think will be played anymore, but yes I know its still 'illegal'). I agree with bigtrain in this case, the keegan questions can get rather repetitive(we got 'sake' at practice in the car using old k...

thanks for the shoutout to the real A team :grin: (can you see my ego inflating?). Although at NAQT, we are 1-1 with RM, 1-0 against ER and 0-3 to Blake, but only after losing on the last question 3 times(by 5 points twice on questionable circumstance). The first, the moderator accepted my teammates...

Yes, Gonzaga was 10/16 last year and was not NAQT The questions, if I recall correctly, were a combination of TU/bonus and straight TU, or maybe all straight TU. Not sure. As to the questions themselves, I found the questions sub-par, my nice way of saying they pretty much sucked; they were rather c...
