The Quizbowl Resource Center

Penn is hosting Quaker Fall Open V on December 7th. We will be using EFT for the National division and LOGIC for the Open division. Additional info here: https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23166

Cardinal Spellman would like to register 2 teams and 1 buzzer.

I wish that I could have done any of these things to the nAC invitation my team received. After all my arguments against going to nAC, and since we didn't qualify for any other nationals, we are still going to nAC.

It was a great tournament, but for the prelim stats, why are only 4 games showing for the teams in the Marine Le Pen division and the individual stats?

I now realize that the most important aspect of playing quizbowl is learning new information. Instead of just taking random guesses on questions, we need to make sure we have enough solid knowledge on a topic to make at least an educated guess. I think that this can be done by encouraging my teammat...

Will there be computational math questions, or will they be thrown out?

Is the event a nationals qualifer?

I will be attending Penn and will definitely play college quiz bowl next year.

I don't think that there is anywhere that you can get this system for cheaper, but I was able to find an 8-player lockout buzzer system on ebay for $115 + $35 shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-players-QZ-825-Lockout-Buzzer-System-for-Quiz-Bowl-/351966451248?hash=item51f2d5d630:m:mACSkqEMt2WiA5t0ao...

I have no idea about the Cup standings, but I do know that registration is now open on the Columbia Cup website.

So instead of there being separate state championships for Metro New York and New Jersey, is the Columbia Cup Spring Championship going to be the championship for both states?

Looking back on our results for the Columbia Fall and Winter tournaments, I noticed that we tended to neg 2-4 times a game. I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for cutting down on negs or being more sure of an answer before buzzing in. http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/3949/stats/a...

Anyone know of any good books for studying music?

How would you guys rank the New York City teams?

One question: Will there be powers at this tournament?

Thanks for all of the advice.

First of all, the quizbowl team has about 10 members that come to practice on average, but about 8 of us are going to graduate within the next 2 years. I wanted to know how other teams try to recruit new members. The most common problem that we find when it comes to recruiting is that some freshmen ...

As someone from a school that plays both QU tournaments in Westchester and pyramidal quizbowl, I can say that how fast your team improves is based on how much effort you make to improve. It took a year and a half to get my team from 0-10 to 5-5. I'm proud of our progress and know that we can do bett...

Although Cardinal Spellman originally said that we would not be able to attend, we wish to register 2 teams for Sunday's competition.
