I'll play if I'm there, which is likely.

Reminder that the $0 deadline is tonight! I don't plan on extending it again, so get your stuff in.

Bloodwych

I've decided to extend the $0 deadline through Feb. 8. I'll update the original post. I was originally only going to extend it through today, but I forgot to post the change and felt it would be unfair.

Bloodwych

I'm bumping this as the $0 deadline has passed and we've only received nine packets. I'd be willing to extend the $0 deadline another week or two if it's convenient for everyone. Thanks!

Bloodwych

Can you post the question on "German"? Thanks!

Yale's mirror will be on 4/4. The original date fell during their spring break and they could not find another open spot.

Bloodwych

The Maryland mirror should be on March 14. Dan is in control of mirrors and should have a list of them. Also, I am going to push back the submission deadlines for this tournament an additional 2 weeks. MattJ brought it to my attention that they overlapped significantly with the deadlines for ACF Reg...

Bloodwych

That is indeed what it means; I'll edit the original post.

Bloodwych

Could you post the Lebanon (lit) question? Thanks!

Bloodwych

Yeah "arranged" was the wrong word to use there.

Bloodwych

I think it would be helpful to specify that the flute, violin, and harpsichord comprise the concertino of the fifth Brandenburg Concerto, because the current wording makes it sound like those are the only three instruments in the piece. Yeah, that's absolutely right and it should have been specifie...

I forgot to mention this earlier, but we will be mixing up the Fine Arts for this tournament informed by some of the thinking in this thread: http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15605 The 3/3 will be divided as such: Auditory arts (including classical, jazz, world music): 1/1 Visual...

This is the official announcement for Some Tournament Initiative Maryland is Pursuing with Yale. This event will be a packet submission tournament aiming to be roughly the same difficulty or easier than 2014's SUBMIT. We would like to run mirrors in the first two weeks of March, prior to ICT. Our pa...

I think it might be Murakami's year at last.

I am also bummed that Cormac McCarthy might never get it.

Oakland Mills won two straight finals games to win the tournament. Centennial A finished 2nd, despite what the stats may say.

Thanks to everyone for coming!

I am writing a packet of literary classics questions (Latin and Greek; some on things I have read and others on things I think are interesting) and will be finished at some point in the near future. I will probably post again when I am finished. Difficulty is not easy. If you enjoy reading this sort...

Bloodwych

From experience I will say that the novelty of the show wore off rather quickly and that, by the time I was more deeply engaged with quizbowl, it tended only to get in the way of tournaments I wanted to play. My premise was and is that it won't make you worse. I am not sure why you keep insisting th...

Quince Orchard cleared the field, winning the tournament. Eleanor Roosevelt placed second. Thanks to all the teams who came out and played!

If that is the case, I will be playtesting some of the literature tonight at 9 PM EST in #SUBMITQB, and will probably continue on Thursday after history on Wednesday.

We did. I'll ask Arun to update the original post.

This will be held on March 24th. Arun will change the original post shortly.

First of all, I want to apologize for using the nebulous phrase "we should have ample staffing", because some people have understood the "we" to mean "Maryland". This is not what I meant at all. The staffers who are most qualified to staff this tournament, regardless of...

Bloodwych

Due to the great amount of staffers expected, we will only be allowing one staffer discount per team. We should have ample staffing for this tournament. Thanks!
