Last call for WHIP!

Due to some logistical conflicts, this event will now be held at Plymouth Elementary School, which is right next to the high school. Details will go out in logistical email to teams.

troyharris

Only two weeks remain before the event. Please let us know soon if you plan to attend.

troyharris

No problem-all set on board.

troyharris · Re: WHIP2 Plymouth Regional High School Feb 8, 2020 Welcome, Cabot!

Welcome, Cabot!

troyharris

We anticipate a field of up to 16 for this event.

troyharris

I will update today.

troyharris

Emma, Congrats on such a strong showing at HFT. That is very impressive to finish so high at an event like that for a team that is just getting going. As someone who comes from a program here at Plymouth that really started from the ground up back in 2015, my advice would be first to make sure you k...

troyharris

Wonyoung, It helps that we got nine people out to camp this summer. We also were able to add some players that covered the gaps that needed to be closed (specifically trash and filling some science holes). That has made a marked difference in the bonus points average so far this year. That being sai...

troyharris

Thanks, Nathan, for doing this. I think you are right on with where the circuit sits right now. To build on this, there are some other teams out there that are very good but just don't play a lot outside of their own circuit and so they don't get the exposure that some of these other teams get. I al...

troyharris

This is an interesting question to tackle because there is no doubt that when a national power moves to a smaller circuit to play "up and coming" teams, it affects the outcome of the event and may actually take away some spots at nationals for some of those local teams, but at the same time it can b...

troyharris

Thank you, Jeff.

troyharris

Hey Vincent,
I am assuming that you are still planning to use IS188? The last time I checked with NAQT they said that would likely be the set.

The PRHS Quiz Bowl staff would like to congratulate Phillips Academy A for winning the PAQT3 event today at Plymouth Regional High School in New Hampshire. Phillips lived up to their pre-season ranking by running the table, going 11-0 on the day. In an exciting playoff game for second place, Acton-B...

Invoices have been sent as well as the logistics letter to the emails listed on the NAQT site. We will see you on Saturday!

The field has reached 12 teams and to ensure that we have adequate staffing, we will be closing registration at this time. Any team interested in still signing up can be added to a wait list and we will update you if a space opens up. We look forward to seeing everyone that has signed up on Sept. 21...

troyharris

We are two weeks out from this event to kick off the New England QB season. We still have room if you are interested. Please register directly at the NAQT site.

troyharris

Done and done.

Got it, but I need clarification. I believe Oct. 22 is a Tuesday.

All set, Vincent.

Actually, it looks like on NJ is up and running, so I will list it until someone picks up that page and runs with it.

troyharris

Lol, never mind, it looks like it is already up and running :).

troyharris

Joe,
I will list these here until NY/NJ/PA/DEL gets a 19-20 date page up and running. At that point, can you submit it to them to keep it consistent with the other regional spots? I don't mind putting it up in the NE forum right now, but it gets a bit cluttered if we don't stick to NE events.

troyharris

Quick note- the set is 185A

troyharris

It is about that time as we start looking towards next year to get tournament announcements going, so I'd be happy to moderate this page ([email protected].org) as contact. If somebody else would like to moderate it, please feel free. I will clean it up later with more specifics, but I wanted to get...

troyharris

Vincent,
I'm assuming that you are using the 2019 SCT Division II set?

troyharris

I second what Scott said. I think Troy is going to be a really tough out for anybody at HSNCT.

troyharris

WHIP has concluded and we would like to thank all the teams that attended as well as to thank the Glasgow, KY group that created the Scottie set. It was a well-written set that was fun to play. Lexington dominated the event, going 10-0 and defeated Plymouth (NH) A in the finals match by a score of 4...

Teams that have already signed up should expect an e-mail early next week with more details and an invoice. Any changes for teams already signed up, please let us know. We are looking f...

troyharris

I absolutely think that being able to see the field will be helpful to you. I can imagine that if someone sees a strong group, or someone who catches their eye, it might spur them to join, too.

troyharris

Is there any way to see the field?

troyharris

This tournament has received gold certification.

troyharris

Why does the sample just keep repeating question one over and over? Am I missing something? Also, agreed, the speed needs to be increased.

troyharris

No matter where you place them, they are really, really good!

troyharris

We are awaiting PACE certification for this event. The previous event was gold certified so we are hoping for the same this time around.

troyharris

Thanks, Charles.

With BHSAT set for Feb. 16, Plymouth plans to run a Scottie mirror on February 9.

troyharris

While MSNCT and IS-A are accounted for in Morlan rankings, they have very little effect on the positions of teams in the rankings" Except they do when you look at a team like Belmont, who, at MIT without Cameron, still had a decent tournament, but then had a full team at PAQT the next week and beat...

troyharris

We used these for our PAQT event this year. The only issue is accounting for substitutes, since there is no "Toss-ups heard" direct column on the sheet. The other drawback is with bounce backs. Since you can't add bonus points without first filling the toss-up side with a number, you either have to ...

troyharris

Hi Michael,
I noticed on the History Bowl site that Maine was a potential site. Is that still a possibility?

troyharris

We currently have 13 teams which leaves room for 3 more. We would love to get this up to 16. Logistics for all teams registered will be sent later in the week.

troyharris

Invoices are being sent to teams to prepare for the event. Please note that an additional email is being sent in regard to invoices.

troyharris

PACE has granted this tournament "gold" status. The top 20 percent of the field will qualify for PACE NSC in June.

This is the current field as it reads.
