I thought this was going to be a tournament about algebra

Matt Bruce's NAQT membership was terminated: In November 2017 NAQT learned about allegations of serious misconduct against NAQT member Matt Bruce, concerning an incident that allegedly took place at Boston University in the late 1990s. As of June 7, 2018, despite our efforts, we have not discovered...

I'm several months late here, but what came of this?

Eddie

When I type in a parenthesis (i.e. the "(" symbol or the ")" symbol) into any of the search parametres, the whole page suddenly goes blank until I refresh. I'm using Ubuntu and Firefox.

Eddie

Whereas I've downsized my quizbowl-related faculties to NAQT editorship and occasional freelancing, and no longer speak on behalf of any body, I'd like to say yeah what the FUCK and that if, after August, Matt Bruce continues to be associated with NAQT in any official or unofficial capacity, then I ...

Sigh. It is one of the greatest misfortunes of the English language that no country uses American spelling and British punctuation (each being a more logical improvement upon an antiquated standard). Some within America have been fighting the good fight. But until the MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, ...

Hello friends, Unfortunately, due to some circumstances in my personal life, I'm displeased to announce that I am placing Tariq on indefinite hold for the time being. I apologise for the inconvenience, but it does not look as though I will be able to complete Tariq earlier than the summer of 2019. T...

Given that I have reason to believe that the market can sustain two auditory arts tournaments in the coming season (and, after all, they are in different formats: one audio and one traditional) and there are now plans to have yet another auditory tournament in 2019, I will plan for Imaginary Landsc...

Eddie

As you might imagine, I'm extraordinarily excited to play this. And I'll travel pretty much wherever is necessary. I'm up to bat to edit the next Imaginary Landscape, and those have traditionally happened every even-numbered year. So, I was planning on producing that for spring/summer 2018. If peop...

After some discussion about the likely scheduling conflict between Tariq and Chicago Open Trash, I am considering moving Tariq to a "summer side event" slot instead. Do people have any thoughts on this?

Eddie

I am pleased to announce Tariq , an open doubles side event on the auditory arts, to be played at Chicago Open 2018. I am the sole editor and writer. Difficulty: The difficulty of this set is somewhere between nationals-minus and nationals-plus. At least 90% of the answer lines in Tariq will be appr...

Also, how do I upload files onto forum posts? The "Upload attachment" tab is completely blank for me. From my computer, it looks like the file upload thing is already there under Options, and clicking "Upload attachment" then clicking back makes it disappear for me. Thanks, set is now uploaded (see...

I have previously discussed what we'd like to see on socalquizbowl.org : In terms of high school tournaments, the October / November area is slated for the pan-region novice tournament, leaving one (1) season opener in September, one (1) tournament in December, and one (1) additional tournament in ...

I will be reading João this Sunday evening at 6 PM Pacific / 9 PM Eastern. Let me know if you're interested. is there any way we could do a time that doesn't conflict with the NBA finals? This is already on fairly short notice, so I don't want to change up the time again unless a lot of people want...

Good idea, but let me see if anyone's down for an IRC reading first.

Thanks for volunteering - there's about a fifty-fifty chance I'll need an extra mod at this point.

Hi everyone, I'm still looking for at least one (1) more moderator at this point in time. We have three (3) healthy mods right now but things are looking like we'll need at least four (4) rooms. Please message or other contact me if you're interested. Thanks !! EDIT: Also some specifications: There ...

Great !! It's a hat.

Since João won't take longer than fifteen (15) minutes, I want to run it right after Saturday rounds so people have time to transition to other side events, etc.

Depends - are you wearing it on your head?

Okay, after deliberation on sesame and croissants this evening, I've decided to take everyone's advice and just hold a small number of shootouts across various rooms, depending on how many people show. Thanks for the help !!

Eddie

Congratulations to Canyon Crest A and Canyon Crest C, the winners of TRITON SPRING VII.

In the UPPER Division, Canyon Crest A defeated Arcadia, 310 - 215.

In the LOWER Division, Canyon Crest C defeated Rancho Bernardo B, 370 - 200.

Full stats are available here.

Eddie

Okay, I've had an idea over croutons and panini this morning. If I bring up tossup count to exactly twenty (20), we can cap the field at sixteen (16) and run João as a double-elimination tournament in teams of two. That is, there will be four (4) rounds of five (5) tossups each, with the winning tea...

Eddie

Congratulations to Westview, who cleared the field, 11 - 0, to win the second annual TRITON PRE-NATIONALS TOURNAMENT.

Thank you to Arcadia A, Arcadia B, La Jolla, Westview, and Scripps Ranch for attending.

Combined stats are now available.

Eddie

Also: there are more than eight (8) people registered. There are only twenty (20) or so tossups. Any ideas for formats? Random teams? I meant more like, we have thirteen (13) people registered, and we obviously can't have everyone play in one (1) room. There aren't enough questions to have multiple...

Eddie

We're gradually opening up the field to waitlisted teams at this point, so now is a good time to register B and C teams.

Eddie

Assuming this does not conflict with the other side events happening at HSNCT, I would be glad to moderate if needed. Thanks! I'll keep you posted. I'm down, any idea what time? I reckon this won't take more than fifteen (15) to twenty (20) minutes, so probably Friday night or first thing after Sat...

A short preview I wrote up of what to expect from each team going to nationals this year.

Y'all are really pushing me to the limit here. Trilbies and pork pie hats are okay but try to bring ones that look the least like a fedora.

University of California @,at San Diego A* went 7 - 2 to win the tournament uncontested over The University of Southern California Institute of Technology, It's the same thing but you make this a bee, and UCLA.

I'm taking my contribution to this set and reading it (plus a small number of additional tossups) as a shootout at HSNCT.

Eddie

To make this clear, due to a number of messages I've received and the unfortunate date on which I announced João, this is not a joke announcement. This is an actual event.
