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: Why do you love quizbowl?

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.

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

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.
