The Quizbowl Resource Center

I prefer it when my students don't keep score during matches. In high school, there is no need for students to keep a log of the match, check the score, or figure out endgame strategy because there is a coach. In my experience, students do get distracted by the score. Some of it is figuring out how...

Atlanta and Chicago

BTW leftsaidfred, in case you didn't get my email, I think that my score for the Pick 'Em prelude should be 39 rather than 31. Could you please check into it. Thank you. Now for my picks... 10) Texas Tech 9) Baltimore Ravens 8) Colorado State 7) Carolina Panthers 6) Chicago Bears 5) Indianapolis Co...

Baltimore & Seattle

I should have 13. My Miami pick was for the team from the Sunshine St.

Redundant.

If you need more participation, I guess I could join in.

My coach always tells me that Tennessee was the last to secede and first to rejoin the union. I'm not sure if I've ever heard it come up other than in practice, but my coach is a pretty smart guy, so if it does come up in competition, this is the answer I'll give.

I haven't seen the questions which go with these answers, but none of these looks inherently misleading, so long as the question clearly distinguishes that it's seeking one and not the other. For instance, in the case of the two lakes, Victoria is a relatively shallow lake (max depth ~275 ft) which...

I feel that etiquette has more to do with beign respectful and not being obnoxious. There is nothing wrong with running up the score in Quiz Bowl or in my opinion anything. One thing about Quiz Bowl I have learned is that no lead is safe. If the points do count, then you should do your best to put-...

I don't know what's so bad with Panasonic. The format is pretty crappy, which results in buzzer races a lot of the ...

Tegan wrote At one point, there was a pop music listening question that no one got, and the host started making a joke about Whitney Houston, and then pretended he was smoking a crack pipe. That was way out of line (IMO) for a high school touranment. These guys would do themselves and the players a ...

Hey Bob (or anyone else out there),

How did the other Ohio teams do?

In all of Kyle's ( FCqb ) excitement of his previous post, he forgot to mention that Jill is actually a junior, not a sophomore. Forgive Kyle, he's also an animal... But back to the real reason I posted. It seems that Cabell Midland (WV) is scheduled for NAC. What are you planning to do now that you...

Ohio Winner!!!

Fisher Catholic H.S. from Lancaster, Ohio.

No, we aren't going to NAQT nationals because our seniors' graduation is that weekend. :cry: We were toying with the idea of taking myself, along with 3 other juniors to the NAQT tournament, but we finally scrapped it. Instead, we're going to Chip Beale's tournament the weekend after. It really is d...

This was a question I got in West Virginia format, which is just toss-up; so it wasn't a power, but I thought it was pretty impressive anyways...

You should have seen our opponent's faces. PRICELESS!!!!!!!
