Every time I've seen a tournament near the Tennessee area, it makes me wonder, so I finally decided to ask:

What happened to Cookeville's team? Are they still active?

BobGHHS

David,
I did our registration and put in a PO for payment today for the tournament and for our hotel rooms, so everything should pan out in a few weeks here.

See you on the 14th.

The Beavercreek varsity that graduated in 2003 had Big Red, another white kid and a Chinese kid, plus a girl that was really really good.

BobGHHS

My guess would be Beavercreek. Mainly because I think WC started in 2003... and before that they were somewhere else.

BobGHHS

Brian,
Most of the stats were worked out by hand because of problems that Kirk had with the computer... so I don't think they had that stat.

BobGHHS

Brief results, I'm sure Kirk will get to posting the full results eventually...

1. East Lansing
2. Troy
t3. Garfield Hts. (OH)
t3. Fisher Catholic (OH)

Consolation Bracket winner: Northmont (OH)

BobGHHS

Ugh, yup, I can't read.

Although I have not received a set of directions from Kirk. Neither thru email or snail mail. I did get directions to Wayne State itself, but not to the tournament site.

BobGHHS

Tippecanoe dropped?

BobGHHS

I need to know who to have the check made out to, and also where to send it, address-wise.

BobGHHS

1. Tippecanoe HS
2. Copley HS
3. Garfield Hts. HS

Top scorer was Sam Milner from Hawken.

More stats to follow from Bob Weiser.

BobGHHS

Brief Results: 1. State College A 2. State College B 3. Tippecanoe A 4. Garfield Heights A State College B, Tipp and GH all tied at 3-2 in the championship round-robin, thus effectively tying for 2nd. I was quite proud of the fact that my team only lost to State College A by 10 points, and the last ...

BobGHHS

I might be inclined to bring a team if it was March 10th, can't say for sure though.

BobGHHS

We got buried in the last 24 hours, but I think its supposed to be steady the next few days without much more snow.

BobGHHS

We're coming, I sent you an email.

BobGHHS

Can we get a field update, I'm going to run it by my team this week and see if they'd be interested in driving up.

BobGHHS

He sent out a field update... dunno if you got it or not...

Looks like the good part of the field will be State College, Tippecanoe, Culver and us...

Some other teams could surprise, but it should be two good days of competition.

BobGHHS

I would totally bring a team, but that date blows for me... weekends of March 17-31 are pretty much locked up for us Ohio HS quizbowl guys... sorry.

BobGHHS

From today at Buzzerpalooza:

This piece of skin in the back of the mouth...<BUZZ>

Incorrect: Urethra
Correct: Uvula

Sadly, that was our JV.

Also:

On video, he was seen having trouble handling an automatic shotgun...

Incorrect: Dick Cheney
Correct: al-Zarqawi

BobGHHS

Thats ok, Mason Hall was much more modern and clean than the Modern Languages Building anyways. Hopefully this year after I leave, I won't have to make an ER trip to get treated for Pleurisy.

BobGHHS

Wrong: Spinal Tap
Correct: The Chipmunks (Alvin &...)

Wrong: Spongebob Squarepants
Correct: Matt Leinart
(on a clue about 'his favorite place to eat is Wahoos Fish and Tacos')

There were many more this weekend, I just can't remember them...

BobGHHS

In Ohio, almost always does the host team play. Only a slight few tournaments (Tippecanoe being the only one off the top of my head -- and Joe can enlighten us why) have the host team not playing here. We hosted (and won) NAQT States in Ohio last year... nothing fishy happened, and for the most part...

BobGHHS

We will be mirroring this tournament on December 2, 2006... details to come soon.

BobGHHS

Bob- We should be there for both, as long as I can get the kids to commit two days to me, which shouldn't be a problem... As always, I'll be around to read and help out, and if you get out of town teams, we can put together some ideas for entertainment for them at night after the NAQT day is complete.

BobGHHS

Tim, you really need to stop scheduling the same weekend as OSU-Michigan...

BobGHHS

No they do not, OAC is mostly academic, and as much as I like playing trash, it is frowned upon to put anything non-academic in OAC matches.

It is 10/set (10 per year).

BobGHHS

While going through all of the paperwork and old questions in storage before practice the other day, it occurred to me that I still have tons of copies of questions from our tournaments from 2002-2005. The questions are in Ohio Format (I know... blech). They make good practice questions. While Ohio ...

BobGHHS

My only complaint is the abrupt decline in bonus quality in the middle of the bastard packet and having to say "THE father" "THE Mother" "THE Child" "THE Social Contract" etc for the answers, also at that pt, the 30-20-10 on "Bat Out of Hell II" cam...

BobGHHS

My team went a disappointing 4-6... missing our #2 guy apparently hurt more than expected... Still had a great time in Chicago, and got to meet many of the people I've only talked to over the internet, so I still had a great time. Good luck to all those competing in the playoffs tomorrow, my money i...

BobGHHS

and Wilmington Charter gets to play both Clear Lake AND Bryam Hills A in prelim rounds (which will make it harder to have those four teams in separate quarters of the playoffs) And they also get to play 5x Ohio State Champion and 2-3 time National Top-5 (at least at ASCN) -- Copley... That is quite...

BobGHHS

ETC --

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same format that was used at CWRU for Great Lakes Regional Academic Championship until like two or three years ago?

BobGHHS

Eric, will there be a cap on entries this year? Just wondering.

BobGHHS

Lee-- you're right, we could have a huge off-topic discussion about it, but I'd rather not get into it... Until Ohio becomes primarily-NAQT, we will not be able to compete on level ground on a regular basis with the powerhouses. Sure, Solon did well last year, but they had Noah, who was probably the...

BobGHHS

Your two best bets from Ohio are my team (Garfield Heights) and Tippecanoe. However, Ohio's educational system is sub-par at best, which is why in general, Ohio teams do much more poorly at Nationals than do the Virginia teams, and certain other states. I would expect both to finish over .500, but I...

BobGHHS

Ohio sends the OAC (Ohio Academic Competition) State Champion to PAC every year, which explains why we do pitiful. This won't be decided until May 6. Last year, if we could have sent my two best players, Noah Rahman, Zach Witeof and two other strong players, probably Steve and Kyle from Tipp, we wou...

BobGHHS

Pre-regional top teams in Ohio: (Note: This is stupid OAC format, so the poll is not necessarily true in other formats) (Note2: This is only ranking teams going to regional tournaments, otherwise Orange would be on here) 1. Fisher Catholic 2. Copley 3. Tipp 4. Garfield Heights 5. St. Charles (A, B, ...

BobGHHS

In Ohio, we just picked up NAQT States last year. I ran it at our school this year with a scheduled turnout of 32 teams, although this shrunk to 27 the morning of the tournament. In Ohio Academic Competition format (blech), we have 6 regional tournaments, at which there are usually between 13-16 tea...

BobGHHS

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... Reader: Jebel Toubkal... BUZZ Me: Atlas Mountains Yeah, well between Steve and Kyle this year, I've seen you guys tear up some of the best powers I've ev...

BobGHHS

We will be at NAQT for the first time since 2003... hope to hit some of you up Friday night for scrimmages...

BobGHHS

I don't pay much attention to the college circuit, but I did notice Harvard's D2 team had Kyle Haddad-Fonda and Samuel Lederer... who I believe squared off in the HSNCT finals last year... that other guy, John Leseiutre... his name sounds familiar too, but I can't place where. It's good to see excel...

BobGHHS

Awesome ETC, congrats... although I was looking forward to the day Thomas Chuck returns to NE Ohio...

Those darn case tournaments just aren't the same without you...

I think this happened two years ago (maybe last year, but not sure...) The question had to do with a category that was basically "nuts and berries"... which meant the question or answer could have something to do with it.... So the lead-in is like... "yadda yadda... identify this larg...

BobGHHS

First off, let me thank all the teams who came out for a great tournament. Besides some weird things happening during the day, the tournament pretty much went off without a hitch. Overall, I thought the questions were good and the competition was awesome. My guys were finally able to win their first...

BobGHHS

In regards to them not coming... they may have not gotten an invite... Not that I wouldn't have... but I only invite whoever I have mailing addresses for (emails that is) and whoever they forward it to... so if many teams don't get it, not much I can do. I can't go searching millions of websites to ...

BobGHHS

I'm not sure if we're going to Cincinnati State yet, but I do know that we plan on going to NAQT Nationals, even though we'll be missing one of our best players... Hopefully we get a chance to match up with Walnut Hills there... since we probably won't see them anywhere else (except maybe OAC states...

BobGHHS

Solon is a completely different team without Noah... don't forget, they also graduated Chris Sparks and Jason Dickman, who were both great players. Ajay is good, but you can't replace the #1 scorer in the country. Solon will probably be a semifinalist at NAQT States this weekend, but I don't think t...

BobGHHS

The Shadyside thing fell through, mainly b/c it was a game on email tag that ended up getting aggravating... The brackets are already drawn up and ready to go... I tried to make them as even as possible, then I let Noah make the final judgments on them... Although I stuck Fisher with two of the St. ...

BobGHHS

I HATED ASCN... the only thing it did that I liked was allowed all the time in the world for sightseeing...

BobGHHS

I wish you guys would... Ohio needs some representation besides us...

BobGHHS

I'll assume he meant Tom then, he said a guy I'm pretty sure. In regards to Lakota East... we ran into them at Round 2 last year at state, and the way we had played at Regionals (5-0, 65 ppg average) we expected to play well against them and come out on top. Needless to say, after two categories it ...
