Re: IHOP II @ Irvine High (10/27/12) [IS-120]
We will probably be sending at least 1-2 teams with some buzzers. Even if the school decides not to send teams, at least one team will be there.

If it is moved to the 20th (not 19th for many people have church), I believe Torrey Pines may be able to send at least one team.

Re: Writing Questions
Following up on the discussion about studying for quiz bowl, would studying for different categories differ in style?

National Tournaments Preparation
I've been playing quiz bowl for a bit more than a year and feel that I have a pretty good knowledge of the high school canons from tournaments like NAQT IS-sets and HSAPQ mACF formats.
