Re: Experimental tournament during HSNCT
Yes, we can compliment each's others 10 ppg by contributing two bonus parts each, so that the final score is only Bob/Steven 40 - Matt Weiner 565

Re: Experimental tournament during HSNCT
I'm going to be there staffing, so I would definately be up for this. If anyone is interested in teaming up, I'm pretty strong in history and also fairly competant in geography and art. Also, I'm ass-tastic in science and only slightly better in Lit. Since I suck almost as bad as Steven, I'm defini...

Re: Weekend of Quizbowl Criticism and Discussion
I was not going to post in this thread, but I decided that as a hs coach whose players look up to Chris Ray for what he has done for the game over the past 2+ years, I should post in his defense. I have to say I only have met Chris in person one time, as his teammate at the 2008 MLK (for which he re...

Re: NAQT card-basd power-matching system
Matt Bruce actually sent me a 32-team excel file two years ago that does all the pairings for you that I use for Ohio NAQT States. The only thing I had to make up were the cards, which was the easy part. You punch in the room numbers you will be using and it does the rest of the work, even giving yo...

Re: CBI Regionals!
Joel Knight, you personally told me at HSNCT '06 that you wouldn't be playing in college because "qb was just something to do in high school..." Did the allure of playing in college (or the male need for competition) lead you to expand the horizons of KCQB?
