The Quizbowl Resource Center

Congrats to UVA and Yale, and thanks everyone for coming out to Columbia for a second year :)

Thanks everyone for coming out to NYC/Columbia for this, and congrats to Illinois and Yale!

Columbia will hopefully have one (or two?) teams at this.

Thanks to all the teams and staffers who were able to make it to the tournament today, and congrats to Penn+Ted and Yale!

7 rounds of Eyes were also played, with the top scorers being Aidan Mehigan, Matt Jackson, and Ahmad Ragab.

Anyone against running everything in a day? I think you're playing with fire banking on starting a tournament held in NYC at 8:30 - a lot of teams (mine included) don't have a ton of familiarity with local transportation, and for almost everybody it's going to require multiple steps in the transit m...

Also, given that Wild Kingdom II has been cancelled, I'd like to plead with the organizers of this tournament to truncate it into a one day event Running the tournament in one day would also be easier for Columbia also, so how about: 1) The main tournament will start earlier (meet in Hamilton at 8:...

NYU had to drop out b/c of the hurricane and it's possible other New York teams will face the same problems

Yes! I updated it above too.

Columbia will be hosting the East Coast mirror of Minnesota Open V on November 17 , 2012 in NYC. This is an open tournament; anyone in teams of up to four can play.

7-10pm seems to work for most people, so we'll continue having practices at that time on Wednesdays in 628/615 Kent Hall for the next few weeks. Thanks! Instead of July 4th, practice will be Monday 7/2 next week, same time and place. ---------- No more summer practices after last week (8/1). Thanks ...

Hi all,

Next week's practice is Wednesday (6/20) 7-10 pm in Kent Hall room 628 on Columbia campus. Anyone is welcome, hope to see you there!
