MIT's March tournament will be using Maggie Walker's GSAC, so no worries about the IS set overlap.

Re: New England Discussion '16-'17

The New England circuit is certainly redeveloping after the loss of some really great players who graduated last year. I believe one of the teams that has surged since they joined the circuit late in the year last season is Andover High School. They have consistently performed well in the middle tie...

Re: Connecticut Invitational VII (2/20/2016)

Seeing as how the MIT Winter Tournament is on the 27th, that may conflict with the pool if the backup date happens to be needed.

Re: Going to HS tournaments without coaches?

My school started a quiz bowl team relatively recently (last year), but they do not really have a coach and the club is entirely student-run.

Re: HFT X at Harvard (11/14/15)

This was actually my team's first HFT, and we really enjoyed the set and it's clear that you guys were very well-prepared (despite late arrivals)! We'll definitely be back next year :)

Hey Abhinav, just a reminder that we're playing as "Four Idiots" and not for Phillips Andover. Thanks!
