You should not be discussing your tournament questions and their topics here until after the tournament has occurred for obvious reasons. Second, your coach may very well know now. If one of my students were to pull this stunt with me there'd be serious repercussions. I believe he was joking, and s...

(hah i just wanted to say that word coalition, rolls of...

I have never played CBI (I'm a junior in high school), and from what I read, I most likely never will; however, from what I have read so far--if I am completely wrong, fine crucify me--, I don't understand why there is an argument. This is far worse than the argument about '...those awful keegan qu...

CBI questions are systematically terrible, and intentionally so I have never played CBI (I'm a junior in high school), and from what I read, I most likely never will; however, from what I have read so far--if I am completely wrong, fine crucify me--, I don't understand why there is an argument.

I was describing how you had earlier said that: Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not important or teams that focus more than 1% on strategy are not good teams. Moreover, because you conceded that the top quiz bowl teams in the area (probably about the best 20% or so) do not conside...

Considering that 2/3 of our varsity team is sophomores, our coach would never take us to nationals. but he told me that he isn't sure he even wants to do our own state series because of the lack of committment. Which is it? And I second what Laszlow said, my first major tournament was the Yale Bull...

DudeDude, I was just asking about the one match which decided the state champs that was won by less than one full question. If you still wanna whine and moan, then take it to the moderator.

Even experts might disagree on what the simplest answer should be. For example, I might think that ln3-ln2 is simpler than ln(3/2), as the former avoids a fraction. Indeed, one of the nice properties of a logarithm is that it converts a division operation into the simpler subtraction operation. As ...
