Re: TJIAT @ TJHSST, 5/4/2019 [Spartan Housewrite]

Because a team just dropped, there is now one spot open.

We are working to secure enough experience readers to expand the field. In the meantime, sign up quickly!

Recordings of matched are available here: http://doc-ent.com/qbc/NSC18/ Note that both Brittany and I were sick during the tournament so our voice quality isn't that great. Would these be all the available recordings? I remember my team (TJHSST B) had a couple rounds recorded, but can't seem to fin...

Re: Teams on the rise for next year?

I’m only familiar with teams in northern Virginia, but here are my two cents -- 1. McLean - Justin Young remains one of nation’s top history players, and possesses enormous depth. Although he isn’t nearly as dominant on other categories, some studying over the summer and more generalization will mak...

Re: FACTS Question-Specific Discussion

The leadin to the Down Syndrome tossup also applies to leukemia, as well, if a protest from Midwest Championship is to judge. (The buzz was right at Philadelphia Chromosome) This same issue occurred at the MIT mirror as well, where many people made the exact same neg. I'm surprised that it hasn't b...

For the teams that are yet to play, just know that I think I speak for the entire editing and writing teams of FACTS when I say that we are committed to making this right. As a team playing this tournament soon, I was wondering if there is any update on the status of the set? Has it been fixed at l...
