Re: General discussion
A couple general thoughts: 2) There was a bunch of weird clue ordering in tossups, where I felt like a giveaway-level clue was in the 2nd to 4th line, and then promptly followed by a clue significantly harder. Could you give some particularly egregious examples of these? The Game Theory tossup seem...

Re: Where Will You Be Going To College Next Year? 2013-14
I will actually be going to Indiana University and I would still like to play, but I am not sure if they have an active program.

Re: Why do you love quizbowl?
What did you answer to that student? I told them that I love how quantifiable most things in this game are.

Why do you love quizbowl?
I was recently asked this question by someone unfamiliar with the game because they had trouble understanding "why people dedicate so much time and effort to studying and learning outside of the classroom." So now I'm interested to hear what other people have to say: why do you love quizbo...

Re: Indiana 2013-2014
After an undefeated NAC season for Harrison's Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman teams, Harrison continued on to defeat St. Joe's JV A team by 40 points, claiming the title of NAQT state champions vs. an opponent obviously more well-versed in the questions. St. Joe's suffered this loss after def...

Anything from the Foo Fighters and Steely Dan to Kanye West and maybe some Action Bronson before, then Thievery Corporation and Pink Floyd after.

After a great experience this year, St. Joseph High School will certainly be attending as many Illinois tournaments in the 2013-14 season as possible. Also, some of us will be in the Chicago area this summer and were wondering if there will there be any open practices we could possibly attend.

2013 Indiana MS Tournament
Hello all! The Saint Joseph High School in South Bend is looking to host a middle school tournament to grow quiz bowl in the northern Indiana. Originally, we were just going to invite some local schools, but if there is enough out of state interest we would entertain the idea of accepting other scho...
