Could I please see the tossups on Long Island and Epsilon from round 22? I think that the Long Island tossup mentioned something about Jones Beach and I buzzed on impulse because I really like Nas' song "One Love," which mentions it. Also, could I please see the tossups on Hyperbolae, True Grit, Try...

I'll be going to Georgia Tech! Looking forward to helping the club there run tournaments and do outreach.

Congratulations to Cooper A who cleared the field to win in the experienced division! Based on the afternoon playoff records, Independence A placed 2nd and Norfolk Academic Guild A placed 3rd. In the Novice Division, Independence D went undefeated to place first, while All Saints B claimed 2nd place...

We are looking to reach 16 teams in the Experienced Division, and 10 teams in the Novice division to ensure that the schedule has no byes. For each new team that signs up, we will offer the new team base price of $45 a team, regardless of whether the school is new to Quizbowl or not.

The Charter School of Wilmington is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the 2019 Charter Challenge Quizbowl Tournament on March, 9th, 2019.

Wilmington Charter would like to register 1 team and 3 buzzers. However, I would like to ask about the use of the Frist center as another building to host games. Last year, it seemed that the building was only used for playoffs for the top bracket. Are there similar plans for this year, or can we ex...

From a CT perspective, the teams worth ranking are Darien, Greens Farms, Hotchkiss (all of which are ranked) but Wilton, who has two great players in the Koutsoukos brothers, is missing. On the topic of B teams, Hunter has more than four strong history players from what I've seen, so High Tech B an...

Looks like a good list to me! But since you can only rank 1 team in the poll, I would assume that the B teams should be left out? Another thing to keep in mind is that the previous iteration of this preseason poll included far less teams (13). If we wish to follow such a model, I will modify my lis...

I would consider all of the following teams worthy of mention for the purposes of this poll (this list is not meant to be comprehensive) : Hunter A, Wilmington Charter A, High Tech A, Ithaca A, Allderdice A, Darien A, Troy A, GNS A, Manheim Township A, Penn Manor A, Hempfield A, Millburn A, East Bru...

Doug Simons should be in everybody's top 25 in my opinion. His captaincy led High Tech to some solid finishes across the season, including 1st place at Prison Bowl and March Madness. Though High Tech has mainly played NAQT sets this year, their strengths shone through with solid power numbers at bot...

This is great to hear! I actually used to live in Bangalore (I went to Inventure from 4th to 5th standard and Head Start from 6th to 7th), and I only discovered quiz bowl when I started High School back in the States.

I have put off writing a response to this, but I do feel that it is warranted, especially considering my role in the formation of the team as it came to be.

This only applies to the competitive division because our school only competed in it. I believe that every team in the championship bracket qualifies for HSNCT, so that would be Hunter A, High Tech A, Wilmington Charter A, St Joe's A, Princeton A and Darien A (I do not know the exact order outside o...

The same can be said about many places in the Tri-State area. While there are a ton of suburban school teams, many still are reluctant to form academic teams, and instead focus on debate, MUN, or science olympiad.

I was going to address this in a dedicated forum post, but since this topic is important for the upcoming season and will massively affect the direction of our set I’ve posted it here.

Wilmington Charter would like to tentatively claim October 14th for a housewrite, and will likely have an NAQT tournament on the 28th of October as well.
