Can I post a "bad" bad neg??? From the Antioch Invitational semifinals (junior high): GIVEN: Chunnel CORRECT: Channel Tunnel No amount of protesting changed the mod's mind, either. "It's not on the paper" was all he'd say. :mad: I thought about explaining myself further after th...

More rubber stamps!!!!

Doesn't work. After I register a username and try to do a login, I'm stuck at the login page. When I enter my username and password and click Login, it simply reloads the very same page again.

Congrats for winning NAQT state, Lee!

I'm already looking forward to see the BMHS team play at the NAQT nationals. They must be really good right now...

How did Brindlee Mountain do at the Huntsville Invitational?

So now that they have a Middle School NAQT State Championship, will there be an NAQT National Middle School Championship as well this year? Or is Alabama the only state which has a Middle School NAQT State Championship?

EDIT: NAQT NSC???

If you mean the HSNCT announcemnt, it's probably just because no one's posted there in a while.

Yeah that's what I meant. I corrected it.

Hello,

Why was the thread about the 2006 NAQT HSNCT Announcement moved to the High School Area archive??
The 2006 HSNCT is still going to take place, isn't it? It would suck if it was called off since I just booked my plane tickets .

What is ASCN?

As far as I know it's two weeks after the NAQT Nationals, which means it would be from the 16th ( Friday ) throuh the 18th ( Sunday ) of June.

When I played in Alabama, we ALWAYS had volunteers read the matches. I think a few coaches help out with reading but they NEVER read a match in which their own team is participating.

So did BMHS qualify for NAQT?
Was it in the top 15%?

AND??

Who won?
I hope BMHS did

Also, why did Arab not come to the tourney?

I like slow moderators. But that's probably because I'm not as familiar with the English language as most everybody else on the board here is. However, if the moderators are speaking clearly and a bit louder, fast reading is ok too.

There's one strange thing that I noticed: If I take a round-trip from June 2th through June 4th from MUC ( Munich ) to ORD ( Chicago O'Hare ) and back, it costs about 512€ ( $550 ). However, if I want a one-way ticket from MUC to ORD, it costs from $1,600 ( Lufthansa ) to $2,100 ( Delta ). Why is ...

Cool, thank you! That helps a lot!!! Let's hope that you will qualify. Now I only have to get the money for the plane ticket ( I already have half of it and I'll probably have all of it at the end of October ) and I have to tell my parents about it :lol: . And that's the difficult part. I hope they'...

I just looked up the regular prices of the Crowne Plaza Hotel rooms. It's like $360 per night. If I'm staying 3 nights ( til Monday morning ), I would pay over $1,000 :shock: Are there cheap hotels/motels/inns around O'Hare that you can recommend staying at? I looked at another Crowne Plaza which ju...

About the 'tabletop' or 'handheld' issue: You can use the Judge both ways. Most of us just sat their buzzer on the table and then pushed it whenever they wanted to buzz in ( tabletop ) but a few people, especially Andy ( I think it was him ) liked to hold their buzzers with their hands and then push...

I have been playing Quizbowl for one year and we used the Judge. From what I heard it's fairly inexpensive. You don't have to wire anything either because it's hardwired. Sometimes, you have the problem that the wires are a little too short. I guess you get what you pay for. But still it's a nice sy...

We have one guy in brindlee mountain B, that always said 'illuminati' if he didn't knwo the answer to the question. even when it was clear that the question asked for a country for example, he would still say illuminati. This occured at the pace nationals and was quite annoying.

What is a Knowledge Master Open?

Hello, Since I have tro depart for my home country Germany soon, I was wondering if tehy have quizbowl over there. they don't. Then I remembered that there was a team from china ( shanghai? ) at the naqt nationals. I wass wondering how they are playing quizbowl? I can imagine how they practice, sinc...

Illuminati for Saudi Arabia

that was one of our ( BMHS Team B ) players. It was Kyle Clark, he said Illuminati on at least ten tossups ( although the answer was never illuminati... )

I liked the tournament, however at times it got crowded in the rooms. I think the teams shouldn't have faced each other in some of the rooms. That was irritating. But otherwise, great tournament!!!
