A few quick updates about this tournament. First, I got permission to expand our field cap to 24 team, and this is now a hard cap. Also, our field is now over half-full, so get your registrations in if you're interested!

Duke's entire team is back yet again this year (John, Gabe, and I). We also add some talented freshmen, one of whom will end up being our fourth scorer (undecided for now). Also to speak for UNC's team, since they lost several players, as far as I know they lose their entire A team, except for Zihan...

Duke University’s Quiz Bowl team is excited to announce that it will be hosting a mirror of the 2016 Early Fall Tournament (2016 EFT) set on October 8, 2016. I will be the tournament director for this tournament. Location and Time: This tournament will be held in the Social Sciences Building on Duke...

Now that I know my team's definitely going to CO, I'll gladly volunteer to staff this if needed/wanted.

Bensonfan23

I'm interested in this too.

Bensonfan23

I definitely want to play this! Please add me to the free agent list as well.

Bensonfan23

could they be missing a game against Duke?

No, we only played UNC B once. It looks like their missing game might be against USC A, based on how the afternoon brackets were done. The game we seem to be missing is our third game against UGA A (the finals play-in game).

Bensonfan23

Since our team wasn't on last year's poll, but may fit in this one, I'll go ahead and share Duke's roster. John Stathis and I will both be back from last year's team, and freshman Gabe Guedes will be joining our team this year. Our fourth will likely be either Adil from our SCT team or Shaunak from ...

Bensonfan23

Is there any chance there could be an online mirror of this tournament for those of us who didn't go to CO?

I second this suggestion.

Bensonfan23

Is this happening today?

Bensonfan23

Will, I can offer one of Duke's buzzer sets for this at PACE. I'd also be fine staffing this if that is needed/wanted.

Bensonfan23

I realize this is pretty late in the week, but I don't check these forums very often, and I just saw this post. If there are any teams left that aren't full, send me a message, I'm interested in playing this. Thanks.

Bensonfan23

To jump in late on the Mid-Atlantic site issue, has there been any update on that site potential being moved to UVA or elsewhere? Speaking for Duke's team, since I've seen other NC teams post here as well, choosing a site closer to North Carolina would be very helpful in deciding whether or not we c...

Bensonfan23

My apologies for never posting anything about this tournament. As David said though, Northmont finished in 1st and Dunbar A finished in second. The order for the rest of the top bracket was Dunbar B, Tippecanoe, Russell A, and Russell B. Full statistics can be found here.

Bensonfan23

Just a reminder that the registration deadline for this tournament is this Friday. From what I'm told, several more teams are expected to register this week, so any teams interested should go ahead and sign up.

The University of Charleston in Charleston, WV, is proud to announce that it will be holding the Second Annual UCWV Fall Kickoff Tournament on September 27, 2014. Last year’s tournament was a large success and we hope to build upon that success this year. The tournament director for this tournament ...

Could I see the conversion stats on continental drift, emulsions, Central African Republic, and "Bones" (the tv show character) please? Thanks.

Bensonfan23

Thanks, Tom! I'm actually working on writing up something to give to the Charleston newspapers right now, so hopefully that will help spread the word locally about our finishes at all three nationals (particularly HSNCT and NHBB). As for the state website, I'm not exactly sure who is running that an...

GW happened to have a bye that round, but we watched the exact same issue come up on the tornado bonus. I don't remember which team it was, but F5 was answered and almost everyone watching was fairly confused as to why it wasn't accepted or at least prompted. Also, did anyone else think that the &qu...

West Virginia is easy to start with Nick Brumfield from Parkersburg a couple of years ago and Ryan Humphrey from George Washington this year. After that, the debate is Jess McDaniel (this year's GW's 2nd scorer) and assorted players from a long time ago who I've mostly forgotten. I suppose Weston P...

I'll join in on this thread. I will be going to Duke University next fall, and I would be happy to keep playing quiz bowl. If anyone here could share the contact information for any of Duke's current members, I would definitely appreciate it.

With Ripley’s tournament this past weekend, West Virginia finally had its first in-state quiz bowl tournament of 2014. The morning-round format was 10 tossups without bonus, a worksheet, and ten tossups with bonus. The afternoon rounds dropped the worksheet and switched the format to 20/20. As for t...

Thanks for posting these here Fred, it would definitely be nice to see some new teams compete in Wv. If anyone is curious, Gw A will be going to Ripley, Bridgeport, and States, but only our B team will be at Phillip Barbour and Ravenswood. Also, Tom, I don’t know about Bridgeport’s format yet, but R...

Bensonfan23

Just to clarify to both of you, those of us at George Washington are also not fans of the West Virginia format. At times, it frustratingly seems as if we are the only ones that see any issue with it, so its refreshing to see others with this shared opinion. The format definitely places far too much ...

Matt graduated from South Charleston last spring. As did, I believe, all other members of South Charleston's A-team from 2012-2013.

Bensonfan23

The format was 20 Questions per round, with no worksheet and neither powers nor negs. Tossups 1-15 were worth 10 points each and they had no bonuses attached. Tossups 16-20 were worth 10 points each and they had standard 3-part bonuses attached without the chance for bounce-back. As for the tourname...

George Washington (WV) won the University High Tournament yesterday in Morgantown, WV, defeating Olmstead Falls (OH) in the Championship match 190-70. Winchester Thurston (PA) finished in 3rd, and Bridgeport (WV) was 4th. The other four playoff teams were Parkersburg (WV), Southern Fulton (PA), Char...

Very sorry for the statistics delay, but the full stats should be finished and posted by this weekend. There were a few issues slowing down the process, but the full team stats and individual stats should be up by the end of this Saturday. In the mean time, the cursory results (top ten) of the tourn...

Just a quick reminder that the registration deadline for this tournament is this Friday, 9/20/2013. The field has now eclipsed the halfway mark and many teams are interested in registering, so please register soon to secure a spot in the field.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice that the packet conflicted, and please understand that I am rather new to this site in general. I am also obviously not the TD for this tournament, and I was just posting this on their behalf in hopes of recruiting more teams to the field as they are a family member. I app...

Considering the close proximity of our two states and that some schools from Kentucky have competed in WV before, would you be willing to add the West Virginia Quiz Bowl Kickoff to your schedule on 9/28? Dunbar has actually already registered to bring up to three teams, and I feel that since Charles...

Matt, I am with George Washington High School's team from Charleston, WV, and we are definitely interested in bringing a team to compete. We will have to discuss it with our school to make sure the funding is approved and that there is nothing conflicting, but either myself or our coach should be ab...

This is my first post on this site, so please bear in mind that I am posting this on behalf of the TD, who is a family member, and whose name and email I have permission to attach at the bottom of this entry.
