Mira Nair is more Parallel Cinema than Bollywood. Bollywood really should be canon in quizbowl, but tbf it is really treated as separate from the "western canon" in most film studies classes, so it's not like quizbowl is a glaring outlier. In terms of important directors that should come up more, Gu...

In terms of thought, I felt that some of the questions were too difficult, like the tossup on Germany beginning with a clue about Kracauer, who (as far as I know) is still far from a canonical theorist outside of German departments (which is where I learned about him For what it's worth I've run in...

I will be remaining in Northfield next year and will hopefully have a car, so I should be good to staff various events.

Me, Kazuma, and Harris are looking for a fourth since Conner can't make it. Lit knowledge preferred, but really any fourth player would be good. Also, Jakob and I are staying at a hotel near the airport and need a ride Saturday morning. IF anyone could pick either of us on the way to UMN Saturday m...

As Ike has mentioned before, the problems that drew me away from Discord, as well as the problems described in these posts, seem to be concentrated in MW's behavior. He has been a nice guy in my limited real-world interactions with him, but he can be (and often is) really mean-spirited online, and i...

I liked this set a decent amount; it had some pretty fun questions, and was pretty fair in its difficulty. I did have an issue with the Alfred the Great tossup mentioning the "griddle cakes" story, which I thought had been thankfully removed from quizbowl long ago. I also wish that there was more fi...

Hey, is there going to be a discussion forum set up?

Panayot Hitov

oh goodie

Panayot Hitov

I've been thinking about this for a while, and finally got around to writing about it. There's a few options: There are the long, multiple part ones, like the ones ken burns does. Some people really like those! I don't, but I did really like one done on New Zealand called Revolution . It's all about...

Read through a couple of packets at practice today. Great film questions!

Fred Morlan was very nice, calm, and accomodating at NSC 2014 when my teammate had a health emergency and I am very grateful for that. Thank you so much Fred, for that and for everything else.

Panayot Hitov

I think I might actually do this

Panayot Hitov

I thouroughly enjoyed myself! Also, *as a film major*, I thought the changes in the fine arts category were great! I had a great time with those questions, especially the one on theory in the UVA/WUSTL/Toronto/Florida/Amherst packet.

Panayot Hitov

I sometimes come across plagiarism in old sets and just brush it off since most were written a decent amount of time ago, but I feel like having a thread to document egregious examples would be fun. This is not meant to be witch-hunty since most of the offenders probably aren't even active anymore;...

Hey, Carleton submitted a packet last night, but it's not listed. Was it received?

Hi everyone, Carleton College is going to ACF Nationals! :party: ACF Nationals is in New York City!

I really enjoyed the "Odessa Steps" question, thank you to whoever wrote that!

Panayot Hitov

I had a lot of fun playing this, and I am personally very happy to hear that some of Carleton's questions made it into the set, for the first time in a while. Thanks to everyone for writing/editing/proofreading this!

UMN A won
Carleton A won the Undergraduate title
St. Olaf won the D2 title

but.....

Everyone won in the end!

Thanks for hosting, Minnesota!

Just popping in here because we ran Snow CAT last week and I got my first look at the scene this season: Wayzata and Eden Prairie remain the strongest schools. Wayzata A, in particular, is a very good team this year, and could definitely match their t-13th performance at HSNCT. They were above 24 pp...

That is an extremely figurative road

Final Stats. Wayzata won its last playoff bracket game against EP Both teams decided to treat that as a final and went home.

Prelim Stats are up. SPA ended up coming, then promptly dropping and turning around.

The field has now been expanded to 24 teams!

Hey, I remember someone making a google sheets that had a template for a schedule for every iteration of teams at a tournament. It was in the forums at some point, but I can't find it. Does anyone else remeber what I'm talking about?

Hello! I am pleased to announce that Carleton College will be hosting our annual high school tournament, SnowCAT, on Saturday, January 21st, 2017 in scenic Northfield, Minnesota! We will hold this tournament in Olin Hall and the Language and Dining Center (LDC). Here is the fee structure for our tou...
