Re: 2018 National Quiz Bowl Awards

What criteria were used in deciding nominations for High School Player of the Year? I would figure that my performances at NHBB, HSNCT, NSC, and NASAT were sufficient to secure my nomination.

Rohan and Grant also had to compete with each other on literature questions to a degree not present on any other team I can think o...

Nationals Discussion

Richard Montgomery A (HSQBRank 3, Midseason Poll 7) RM A is the best team in the region and is a strong contender for NHBB, HSNCT, and NSC.

This is not a good date because it's during FCPS spring break and many of our team members have college visits. Is there any chance the date could be changed?
