MHanna:If you are on the team that we played at Walton, that was really our JV. If you were talking about a team from Dorman, it would've been a varsity team.

I especially enjoy when students from Male refer to different parts of the school as organs. Hey, I'm immature.

brownboy79

That's amazing. Either those questions must be like above college level or the quality of Missouri Quiz Bowl has decreased significantly since WashU.

brownboy79

Yeah. But Furman had good food. Which is more than I can say for Maryville. Either way, I've only been to camp twice, including the last Furman camp, which totally dominates Maryville. And if that was the bad one.... All I have to say, is that we had two working toilets to a group of 8 rooms (2 guys...

brownboy79

No, probably not. I am planning on going to Harvard Summer School and it conflicts with camp. If, however, I am not able to attend Summer School then I will definitely be at Maryville with the rest of Dunbar's usually massive contingent. Looking forward to seeing you again, Ted.

brownboy79

Is anyone else interested in Kentucky's outlook next year? How about an all-star team rather than state champions at Panasonic? Just a thought.

Anyway, Manual, Us, Danville, Russell and Pikeville should be strong again. Aside from that, someone new always seems to make some noise.

I thought about taking the science major. I was wondering whether i could jump to Science II without Science I and also what the rotation of the sciences were. Before my Freshman year, I jumped to Science 2, but I don't think that they let you do that any more. Ms Boehme is a great teacher, from wh...

1831?
wow. just wow.
Dunbar got 1666 but our score was hurt by seniors shushing sophomores.

brownboy79

ACE is amazing. I have gone for the past two years, and it really gives you a lot of experience, regardless of which subject you choose. The past two years I was in Science, but it may be helpful to try choosing a major in your weaker category, for example, this year I will probably take Ancient Lit...

At Kentucky's NAQT state a few weeks ago, we were given a moderator with obvious bias against our school. I normally wouldn't care too much, but on the last question with the other team leading by 10, they buzzed in with the correct answer and he ruled them 'incorrect'. I had originally agreed with ...

The champion of the Kentucky Govenor's Cup is sent as the representative. Russell won, but I believe they have chosen not to attend. I do not know who (if any) will replace them. Russell isn't going? Wow. So will we now do the right thing and have an all star team? Or are we pansying out and not se...

I am from the Southeast, and being from one of the teams mentioned, and having played the other several times now, I can definitely see a few teams from the SE making a decent run, but Walton MIA really hurts our chances.

brownboy79

Any team with a dominant individual player can make a statement at NAQT. I definitely think that we could see Shanghai American in the top 10, but I had Walton as easily the 5th best team in the country. Is anyone from MO coming? We (Dunbar in general) did well at Wash U (The seeding was annoying) b...

brownboy79

I don't mean to shoot down anyone's guesses, but I see something slightly different:
1MLWGSA
2RM(Assuming they attend)
3TJA
4State College
5Walton

Next Set
Maggie Walker B, Dorman, Walter Johnson(I think they are attending), DCC, and Mission(?)

brownboy79

Dunbar will send 2 teams to NAQT. We probably shall not send a third. We aren't going to Pace.

brownboy79

no
that wasn't from is 59
i had another from is 59 that i decided not to post until i heard a response
that was from a thoroughbred league set that has been played

brownboy79

Am I allowed to mention IS-59?

NO, MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ THE STICKY THREAD. -the mgmt

Thank you much.

We won the match, but more importantly, it could've easily been (SOMETHING ELSE). I really ha...

Anyone hear anything about where the stats from the Male NAQT Championships are?

brownboy79

GovCup might be the largest waste of time ever. But I might be a little biased what with all the crap that they manage to screw up. WAs might be the shittiest approved test of knowledge in the history of mankind. When they say that Lepanto(1571) is a battle of the Crusades because there were Turks i...

brownboy79

Oh yeah,
memorize your sequence formulas. They're very useful for, say, adding all the odds less than 15. But I would recommend memorizing the sum of all evens and odds under every number less than 25.
I don't know, maybe that's overkill, but I use it a lot and I'm a Humanities major.

Generally, we are fast enough on math that it doesn't make a difference with the three seconds. In order to build up players who aren't as strong in math, it's probably best to work on your times tables. For example, i know my tables up to 20, and when computation comes up, it makes things a whole l...

While we would have loved to defend our title, we are sorry we couldn't make it this year. March 4th was our tournament.
It would be great if you could post stats online.

brownboy79

Thank you.

brownboy79

I wish Walnut would have come to our tournament. Manual didn't really have much of a challenge seeing as RM didn't come, but if you guys are really interested in playing with better teams, you might venture to the Southeast.

brownboy79

While I live in Kentucky, I am posting on here because a few years ago my family was looking to move to Cincinatti. I would have attended Walnut Hills, and I've been wondering how they have been doing in Ohio quizbowl. Apparently, rather well. Are there any other Cincy area teams that plan on going ...

brownboy79

I can't blame him.
Sticking to the topic, however, I think that quiz bowlers have a certain togetherness that wouldn't be present at a general tryout. That being said, the competition would be much higher.

brownboy79

yeah
Knupp is building a strong program in Danville. He was our former JV coach and is really doing well with Danville. He took a very weak team, and turned it into one of the top 5 programs in the state within one year.

brownboy79

Thank you very much. I just wanted to know how I did. But, I can't see your email address from my account, I'm not an admin.

brownboy79

Mr. Pinyan, could you please tell me your email? I believe there is a mistake on my particular stat page. I am listed as scoring 0 for a game in which I certainly played in. I don't care about the ranking but I would like to know the final results. http://artsci.wustl.edu/~jpinyan/wustl/wuhsac8/wuhs...

brownboy79

I am sure of the Duchamp question. As for the other one, I heard it from a teammate about a bonus, but I will look it up on the site. Please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to say that the Wash U question writers poorly research their questions. Actually, this goes to show the currency of the facts...

brownboy79

The Questions were, as last year excellent.
We (Dunbar C) were unfortunately put in the same side of the bracket as our A team and B team. All in all, very fun. Though, considering that our teams all performed well, I wish we had been in opposite sides of the bracket.
Very well run by Wash U.

brownboy79

Ted:
Are there going to be a lot of Southeast Teams there? We might send a few. You know Dunbar, if we send one, we'll send 5.

brownboy79

I think the system is overrated. I tend to be one of the more agressive players on our team and I would give my average to be about 5:1 (IMO mediocre, as my teammates endlessly remind me). But, it's just as important to consider power:neg ratio. The better players at NAQT are all above 1:1 and some ...

Does Lafayette come to Dunbar's tournament?

brownboy79

I don't think Dunbar will be as solid in the QR portion of GovCup as usual. Dunbar tends to be weaker in the speed category than Russell. JCC might also make a good showing along with Mad-No-Ho. I look for the overall results to be close between Dunbar, Manual, and Danville. But, QR is still wide op...
