Is this tournament open for high school mirrors?

Fado Alexandrino

Five extra points isn't enough to warrant buzzing after you know the answer.

There were some issues with hoses and early stocks, but that improves with practice. These particularly striked me: Round 4, question 15 Viete’s formula can be used to compute... There's Viete's formula and Vieta's formula (the former of which I wasn't aware of until that evening) Round 5, question ...

An easy science side event (ranging from IS level to Fall+ level) was played at NSC and it wasn't all that terrible. Maybe that would be of interest to you.

Lisgar Collegiate Institute (29 Lisgar St. K2P 0B9) in Ottawa, Canada will be mirroring Ladue's Spring tournament on May 4, 2013. The school will be open at 8am, the tournament should begin at 9am. Fees: As this is during IB exams, AP exams, and is very close to Reach for the Top Provincials, shorth...

Lisgar has officially registered for PACE as one of the team members has family in the DC area where the team can stay, plus it's within driving distance. Colonel By, who qualified as the 2nd spot at Lisgar's GSAC mirror are unable because of their exams. I expect some consideration for HSNCT if a n...

I found an awkward clue pack 3 question 19. "The fourth and final movement of the fourth composition...". Firstly, the clue refers to he 41th (or the last) of these pieces (his fourth symphony only had three movements). Secondly, I felt like like "fourth and final" referred to th...

Lisgar managed to squeeze out a 10 team field for a mirror of GSAC XX which ran successfully. We are looking for a mirror of LIST III for May 4th if there's enough interest.

The tournament will be located room 100 of the St. Patrick Building at the university.
It should begin no later than 9 AM, so please be there by around 8:30-8:45.
See you there!

Fado Alexandrino

Is there an updated field? Now the teacher action is pretty much over, perhaps more teams would be coming. Lisgar can bring up to 3 buzzers, but unfortunately this year we aren't able to commit any staff to the event (Unless I take the overnight megabus to kingston). You have mentioned that you've r...

The problem is, Facebook is a very effective means of communication, and that's where I was able to talk to London South and Westdale about the tournament.

McGill and Lisgar are looking at 1-2 teams each right now. We'll let you know as the time comes.

Fado Alexandrino

McGill will send two teams for the March 7th deadline. Lisgar will send 1 team for the March 1st deadline.

Fado Alexandrino

New Guy et al. (Charles Li, Joe Su, Sheheryar Ahmed, Will Sanna) will write a pack.
How guerilla will the final tournament be on a scale of VETO to ACF?

Fado Alexandrino

Martingrove and Centennial will not be attending. Westdale, Westmount and Woburn are seriously considering. I have talked to other schools including Assumption, Thornhill, and SWC with no response.

Fado Alexandrino

Is there an update of what's happening? If it is this weekend, McGill won't be able to make it; the five hour drive would probably last twice as much.

Fado Alexandrino

Lisgar (Ottawa, ON) mirrored this set yesterday (Feb. 2nd) and people really liked it, it was pretty good for the established metagame. Definitely not a novice set, which some teams learned the hard way, but the established teams really enjoyed the set. Great for a growing quizbowl community. Stats ...

Fado Alexandrino

McGill is sending a team. Lisgar is sending at least one team.

Fado Alexandrino

McGill will be sending a team.
Lisgar has a few players who also want to come, but they'll need teams.

Fado Alexandrino

What's the field looking like so far?

Fado Alexandrino

This tournament was well received by the students from Lisgar and we'd like to thank you for hosting this for the 8th time. I have some issues with the actual set as I felt it didn't really match with the usually quality of NAQT sets. I've never had a problem with the distribution or content of a se...

Fado Alexandrino

1 team from Lisgar and 1 team from Mcgill
Mcgill and Lisgar can both bring buzzers.

Fado Alexandrino

In essence, can a parent can drive their child and a safe carload of other players to the event as long as all of the kids' parents agree to it? This is what's probably going to happen for teams in the Ottawa region if labour disruption would continue. I assume there won't be any required paperwork ...

Fado Alexandrino

What's the reason behind the fact each team must have a responsible adult (18+?)travelling to the event with them? I assume this is by school, not by team, so two teams from one school can have one parent supervisor, right? What if a team cannot find an adult to travel with them to the event?

Lisgar's tournament will be at the University of Ottawa on October 13. The field will be capped at eleven teams due to space limitation.

Fado Alexandrino

Congratulations to Guelph for winning. It's nice to see so many novice collegiate players coming out and playing quizbowl, for some, their first time.

Fado Alexandrino

High school juniors and seniors at the Lisgar mirror last year found the tournament to be of average difficulty, but the biggest caveat is that some of the answer lines might be slightly obscure to the younger players. But it's just like regular invitational series sets, except it's slightly more ch...

Lisgar is definitely considering sending a team of grade 9s if we can.
Our senior players are also willing to staff.

Fado Alexandrino

Lisgar should be coming to this with at least two teams.

Lisgar should be able to send a teams, buzzers, and staff to this tournament

I nominate Geoffry Song (goffrieATgmailDOTcom) for webmaster.
He came 5th at the CCC stage two this year and probably would do a good job.
