Re: (Is this the right board?) HSNCT Favorites
From the Northeast, Livingston and Hastings both have a shot at the crown, with Hunter likely making the top 10; Darien will also finish highly. Belmont and Lexington also have title shots from New England. However, the true champions will be, hailing from my hometown, Smithtown High School West, wh...

Re: Introducing YellowFruit.
Groan. No, I'm not claiming ownership over anything. People are free to copy me. As long as YFT will continue supporting formats that aren't the stuff on HDWhite, I'm satisfied, and this seems to be the case.

Re: Introducing YellowFruit.
Today I used Yellowfruit 3.0.2 for the first time. I have not done stats for a tournament with multiple prelim brackets since ACF Winter in 2020 and didn't recall this specific issue there.

Re: DMV Circuit Discussion, 2023-2024
It may have gone unnoticed, but Poolesville just won the Keystone Cup, a 53-team event in Eastern Pennsylvania! Quite a showing for a traditional History Bowl/Scibowl powerhouse. Definitely a team that has taken a step beyond up-and-coming.

Re: All-Northeast Master Calendar 2023-24
Pretty sure it's difficulty (blue = below regs, green = regs, yellow = regs+, red = nats; though maybe red isn't meant to represent difficulty of nats exactly because ssnct is regs difficulty even though it is a nats set). It'd probably be helpful to have this marked somewhere on the calendar thoug...
