Re: 2019 HSNCT discussion
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...

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.

Re: PHSAT XXVI at Princeton University (9/29/18)
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...
