Quick Results: Harding/Paul Drube defeated Minnesota A in the Finals to claim the championship. 3rd: Mike Sorice/DaGeneral 4th: Brendan And then Rolla, Truman A and Minn. B played around in the losers bracket. The questions were overall pretty good with some varying difficulty on bonus parts and som...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I do not see where the trash complaint is coming from either as it really did seem that there was limited trash in each packet. I do remember one packet having two jazz or mid-1900's music questions but one may have been trash and the other a "classical music" for all I know. I found that ...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I would include Truman State under "shows interest" but we probably won't decide until close to the deadline as we have three options that are around 7 hours away so we have to weigh the pros/cons of each.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I will probably play solo or with one other person and Ryan could probably do the same for us if we want to up the teams.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

jeopardy is not listed because we are talking about how to get good at quizbowl ... not how to get good at a game that halfway resembles quizbowl

while it might be fun to watch, it doesn't promote learning deep knowledge

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

:-)

ICT will be closer than SCT for us :-) ... that's awesome.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

chuq, if you go there, i am not sure we would really have a tournament at rolla unless more people sign up pretty quickly :-(

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

"mystery team" ... not as intriguing since i know who it is

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

College: http://www.collegequizbowl.org/Maize/directory.html

High School: Not sure if there is a list ?

Advertise on here.... in the college and high school announcement things ?

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

all i have for a band name is Moop

PACE will write for Reese's .....

duh... n00b

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Note that Kirksville, Missouri is well within travel distance for Illinois, Iowa and Kansas schools. I hope to see at least one out of state school coming in. Format: This tournament will be run using modified mACF rules (a college format). Games will be consist of 20 tossups with non-rebounding 30 ...

Base Fee: $60. Fee for each subsequent team from the same school: $50. Travel Discount: $5 for traveling 200-400 miles one-way, $10 for traveling more than 400 miles one-way. Buzzer Discount: $5 per buzzer, maximum of $10 in buzzer discounts for each team. Moderator Discount: $10 moderator discount....

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

wow ... the whole concept for that packet is pretty ridiculous

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I am not sure if we will make this or not due to funding concerns. More than likely, people will be interested in going to either Minn. or Oklahoma... I think they are equally far from here (Minn. may be closer?) but I'll keep you updated on our situation. We need to rake in the money for Penn Bowl ...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

We're coming.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I'm interested but I will have to see about the interest for this given the craziness of that semester's tournament schedule already and our funding situation.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

so this tourney is happening on my 21st birthday.....decisions.....

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Any thoughts on the World Lit and/or the Indie/Emo/Alt packets ?

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I held out hope that I would be able to do this but there is no way I can afford to do quiz bowl this weekend.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

We are still looking for a host in the Virginia/North Carolina region; if your school would like to host an SCT (and thereby receive an automatic bid to the 2008 ICT!), please let us know. Somebody please do this, making the 6 1/2 hour drive to Pitt and spending the night would be lame (okay so per...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

:-(

it's been a long day

i didn't see that one

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Is there no plan to have a "Southwest" regional in Oklahoma or Texas ? It seems like those teams are kind of getting left out as it is now.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Quick and Dirty results: Results: 1st: Illinois A (9-0) (Mike Sorice) 2nd: Drake (8-1) 3rd: Minnesota B (7-2) Individuals: 1st: Mike Sorice at 120 ppg 2nd: Brendan Byrne 3rd: Andrew Hart More complete results will come from Christopher later but we played a 10 team round robin and people were ready ...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

sooo ... it's tomorrow morning ... and I'm excited and pretty nervous ... it's our first college tournament hosting (for any of the current members at least).... here's to hoping it runs smoothly

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Shocking.... it doesn't mention anything about a curved yellow fruit being involved.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Major props on the Lemmiwinks question..... stuff like that would have been my only chance of getting a 20.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

as would I, [email protected]

YES .... that annoyed me... especially since I knew it was Mauss after that.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I know Jason Mueller still wants to come but just needs a ride..... I wasn't able to get enough interest in going from Truman but he is a free agent if anyone needs another player.... just thought I would mention that.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Thanks for running a very fun tournament guys. I enjoyed most of the rounds but I was dragging more in some than others ... a lot more so toward the end. The whole mental endurance thing is definitely a factor, at least for me ... I seem to get to the point where I just don't care too much toward th...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Barring ridiculous amounts of finals-studying, I will be there. Although I say this without looking at my finals schedule so don't hold me to that yet :-P.

And I can't say anything for an actual Truman team ... but I'll ask around.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I'm supposed to moderate and/or keep stats ... do stuff for the tournament. So yeahhhh ..... I probably shouldn't do Jeopardy as much as I want to .... but I have two days to change my mind.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I will be very interested to see how the Dorman vs. NKC vs. MLK matches all play out ... intense field there for sure.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I also just got one for Chicago... but it's the same day as Brainal Leakage.

Now the question is whether I should ditch our own hosted tournament for a chance to get on the college tourney .... why'd they have to make it difficult with that date.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Truman State should be bringing two teams.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I like how you are the only one to get an impressive name

His Holiness Sri Sri Lord Eric Mukherjee .... idk if I will be able to refer to you as that very often though because I wouldn't feel like typing all that out or even saying it for that matter.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Some sort of field update as of Friday 10/19: Rolla (1 or 2) Drake (1 or 2) Minnesota (1 or 2) Kansas State (1? 2?) Illinois (if Trygve can get people to come while over Fall break... 1 team) Chicago (still undecided) WashU (2-3 teams according to Sean Phillips) and of course the invitation has been...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Send a skeleton team :-P .. that's what we plan to do for GIT ... we are hosting our hs tournament on March 1st but plan to send 3 people to GIT ... but WUHSAC probably would require almost everyone to help so I could see that being a problem.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Giardono's ... dang ... I had heard that there were $30 pizzas or something like that so I was quite impressed.

Jeet .. I'm sad I didn't get to play against you :-(.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

M Bison .... really ? : - P

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I just got a report and it sounds like people are having fun ... it makes me sad that I am writing a paper :-(.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

I think a very conservative goal would be to get more wins than the football team at this tourney :-P

I won't be there .... I flipped a coin earlier to decide.

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

haha and I still haven't decided whether I should come.... I swear I will probably not have decided til an hour before we're supposed to leave tomorrow

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

Oh man, that would be amazing if you guys could mirror Penn Bowl or MLK ..... not that you should feel pressured but IS sets are pretty ridiculous.... I would play on it but I am up for the challenge more than the ease. Penn Bowl is usually in late January and MLK is around MLK Jr.'s Bday, I assume ...

Jeremy Gibbs Lemma

With the failure due to "bad timing" of our fall tournament, we now have the opportunity to seek a mirror or possible co-writer for our high school tournament to take place on March 1st, 2008. If there are any schools interested in hosting a tournament on that day with house-written questi...
