Oh, fine, if you want names, I believe that Harvard skipped out on BU's Terrier Tussle one year and that BU passed on MIT's Beaver Bonspiel. I didn't think it was necessary to call out certain programs by name when I wasn't sure. Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not those happened and, if so, ...

Good teams need to take one for the circuit and attend more bad tournaments. They don't need to send their best players, but they should send some representation. I'm too lazy to look through tournament results right now to see how much of a problem this really is, but I think it does happen now an...

Re: Proposal for summer...
So I have been thinking about having some sort of summer "workshop" on question writing and editing. The original goal was to focus the technical aspects of writing questions to high school kids and coaches, but perhaps we should also have something specific for those individuals who migh...

We have to differentiate between questions that are flawed because they have poor clue selection and questions that are flawed because of poor answer selection despite perhaps technically acceptable or easily fixable clue selection (and, of course, some questions suffer from both flaws). When peopl...

Dear Mr. Tsouris, Yes I know, you counted them out loud for all of us to hear. Your behavior at TRASH regionals was grossly des-pic-able (damn you Ray Sun). I have never in my life seen anyone enter a tournament under such bad faith for the pure purpose of bitching about it afterward (as well as du...

Well all hearsay seems to indicate that this trash tournament is happening, have people started putting together teams yet? I have it on excellent authority that this tournament will be taking place. My predictions for the top 5: 1. Fuck You, Whippersnappers (Jim Dendy, Eric Hillemann, Tom Waters, ...

NAQT results
Looking at the stats I noticed that Michigan had both less ppg and a lower bonus conversion than Chicago, and still managed to win. A brief scan of the NAQT archives suggests that this is the first time a team led the tournament in both those categories without winning. Last year, for instance, Mich...

But I do want to say one more thing, briefly: I think a straw man is being attacked in some of the posts here. How many science players make the argument that science questions should only (or even mostly) reflect what they learned in class? I'm not even opposed to tossups to which the answer is a ...

Are those questions going to be made availalbe online at some point, like other acf tournaments? Or will it be possible to buy them? I have to wonder how hard those questions must've been -- that's a strong field, and only five people broke 30 ppg. Also, if you're only getting 24 ppg playing solo yo...
