What is the use case for doing this? It's not necessarily that hard, but I haven't come with a reason to justify the work.

I suppose to standardize report formats in the future if/when Yellowfruit becomes the new standard.

Snoopy

Our set for May has been changed from an IS set to the BUTTERSCOT! We look forward to hosting the only mirror of this fine set in the Northeast.

Snoopy

Do you think you can add an import from SQBS feature in a future release for easy conversion? Not a programmer, so sorry if I just made an insanely hard suggestion.

I think there was some mistake in standings, middlesex b is shown as 4th and middlesex a as 5th.

We are aware of this issue and have started to look into fixing it.

Snoopy

Is there a way to manually set final rankings outside of editing the HTML report? I had an eleventh round for the top six teams and the real-life fifth-place team is listed as third on the report.

Snoopy

Our February tournament is now complete! It was an excellent event; thanks to everyone who came out. Darien B went undefeated for the championship, including beating their own A team twice, en route to an 11-0 finish. Darien A took second, West Egg A took third, and Middlesex Middle School A took an...

Due to some last minute drops, we have eight spots in the field open for anyone who would like to take them! Sign up soon, registration closes on Thursday morning! Fill out the form, shoot me an email, or post in this thread. We'd love to have you.

Snoopy

I'm going to temporarily close the field at 24 until we get some more moderators. If anyone can moderate this tournament, please reach out to us. We will pay you!

Snoopy

50% of spots are still open! Come on down! Also, if you think you'd be able to moderate at this tournament, shoot me an email at the link in the main post. We'll give you free breakfast and lunch, and we'll pay for your travel, too! You'd really be helping us a lot, so please don't hesitate to give ...

So Yahoo! has decided they will shutter most of the groups function and delete all content on December 14th. Not a surprise, since Yahoo! has been on life support for 10 years now. But, that group does have quite a bit of Quizbowl history on it and should be properly archived for historical purposes...

Snoopy

The mid-season poll has returned!

Same format and region restrictions as the pre-season poll, but only the first five slots are mandatory, much like I did last year. Here's a link. Poll closes the day after Thanksgiving.

Enjoy!

P.S. Come to my tournament

Snoopy

I stand corrected; my apologies for any false association. Based on that, I'd say ACE has kicked the bucket.

Oh, well. Glad I was there when they were around.

Snoopy

They are now at qwizbowl.com, at least based on the mailers they sent to my tournament in October. No clue why they changed it or when.

At least, I assume they're one and the same.

The Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance is proud to announce that our February tournament is now the official successor to the old Kings Park tournament (KPAQT). We salute Kings Park for all their hard work organizing and fine job directing tournaments over the years. We invite all teams who attended KPA...

Our October tournament is now complete! The Undefeated Kellenberg A beat Churchill A for the championship; Island Trees A took a close game from North Babylon A for third. Aidan York was the scoring champion with a solid 92 PPG. Thanks so much to everyone for coming out today, and a special thanks t...

Question.

What if a school had signed up three teams, and on the day of, showed up with three players, one on each team? What are the rules surrounding that (if any?)

Truly hypothetical, I assure you. Just curious.

Snoopy

Not sure if this is the right place for this. Due to a number of last-minute changes by moderators, and a few of my own idiotic assumptions becoming invalid the past few days, I no longer have the requisite staff to run a high school tournament on October 19. If anyone is in the New York and Long Is...

Snoopy

We still have a ton of room for registrations! Make sure to get them in, you don't want to miss this one!

Snoopy

That's a different school. The High Tech that participates in the pyramidal circuit is located in Monmouth County, in Central Jersey. The High Tech in Hudson County doesn't do good quizbowl, as far as I'm aware. :aaa: My apologies. If you think that's bad, wait'll you learn how many Washington Town...

Snoopy

You didn't come off hostile at all. That wasn't the takeaway I got-- I just wanted to clarify my intentions. "Catalog" seems to be the best term, describing precisely what I'm doing. Since you're from HT, what do you know about the Hudson County Academic League? (Specifically, what schools participa...

Snoopy

Thanks for the information! What I'm really doing here is trying to find all the different leagues, tournaments, and so on in North Jersey. In this way, we know what we're coexisting with/competing against (whichever mindset you'd like to take). I'm not out to destroy them; I just want to have a com...

Over the past few months, I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about each of the sub-regional circuits in the Tri-state. I now know all there is about Quizbowl on Long Island, in Westchester, in Rockland (which actually has a previously-unknown robust circuit), and in the rest of the Hudson Va...

Our Fall and Winter tournaments have been Gold-Certified by PACE! The top 20% of the field will now qualify for the NSC, so get in those registrations!

You sound like this lady (warning: language). "Oh yeah, our set stinks and our customers hate it, as they have for years, but yeah, let's keep doing the same thing because I'm always right!" Yes, it DOES REALLY MATTER to the people who are playing your set and the TDs who have to pay for these quest...

INTRODUCING THE ISLAND CUP! I am thrilled to announce that the Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance will be hosting the inaugural Island Cup on October 19, 2019, February 1, 2020, and May 9, 2020, from 8:30 AM to about 6:30 PM. It is a three-tournament series, and you can register for any or all of them....

I'd be happy to join.

The Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance, in affiliation with the Greater New York Quiz Bowl Alliance, is claiming October 19, February 1, and May 9, subject to change, for a series of tournaments to be announced in early July. All three will take place in Suffolk County, NY.

Who's in charge of the calendar for next year?

Edit: never mind.

I sent a link to the NYQBA with all the raw data 2 days after the poll closed, including anonymity for those who requested it.

Also, I find it hard to understand why someone voted for Wheatley, given that they have yet to attend a tournament this year.

Yeah, not sure about that one! I can say, though, that the person who voted for them is not from Wheatley.

Snoopy

Barrington will be removed from the poll for the reasons Wongyoung laid out. No further changes will be made.

Eligibility will be stricter in the future.

One more edit: Perhaps it would be worth our while to accurately describe what our region is.

Snoopy

You're right. But they stay anyway.

Snoopy

Hello, everyone! After checking on the three disputed entries, Allderdice and Boston Latin high schools are outside of the region that I stated at the top of the poll, and I specifically said to avoid schools outside this geographic region. As such, the affected schools will be removed. Changes to p...

Thank you to everyone who voted so far! We have 21 votes as of right now! I have decided to close the poll on December 7th at 5:00 PM or so. Get those votes in while you can!

Alright, fair enough. I'll post them in a google doc when all is said and done. That being said, if you would like to remain anonymous and have already filled out the form, PM me or post here. If you don't say anything, your results will be released. EDIT: I added an option to remain anonymous on th...

Would it be possible to require respondents to list 10 teams on the ballot (or, alternatively, only put 5 slots on the ballot)? I only ask this because the player poll from last year had something like this (in that there were 40 slots on the ballot but only 10 were required) and it lead to some co...

Snoopy

Also, perhaps we should employ more of a Google Forms "Rank in order what you think the top 10 northeast teams are" type of poll and not just "which team is the best" kind of poll. I liked this idea, so I did it! Everyone is free to fill out this google form ! If there's any questions, just ask here.

If it ain't too late, I'll play

Well, Raynor brought it up, I was giving my reaction.

Glad to hear it will remain free.

We discussed this a little locally at the tournament, but as Neg 5 grows and becomes a more popular tool, perhaps it's worth exploring monetization opportunities? This comes from someone who loves open source, but it seems reasonable to help pay for servers and give something back to Mostafa for hi...

Not to be curt, but you should check the Neg 5 thread for an explanation. I just think it's funnier if you learn it in real time.

Ah, my sincerest apologies, I was unaware. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

May I ask why the stats vanished at lunch, never to return?
