EDIT: NO LONGER NECESSARY Due to a numerically unfortunate assortment of drops and additions, we are now down to 25 teams. As this number is very inconvenient, and we would much prefer either 24 or 26 (+2 house) teams, we will now be instituting standby registration. How this will work: any team tha...

We have reached our field cap of 28, and the cap has been raised to 30.

Hey Ya!

Hej! In previous years, I've run an Oscar pool among friends and family, but now I've decided to make one for the Greater Quizbowl Community. How it works: Enter your predictions in the Google Form below. Each category has a point value that is loosely related to its importance as an award. This is ...

The field cap has been raised to 28 teams.

Our field is filling up quickly with only two weeks to go: we encourage teams to register soon! We will raise our field cap to 28 teams if there is sufficient interest, and our hard cap is at 36. Also, we've had some interest from NYU and Columbia students to help staff the tournament, and we ask th...

Ok, so I've abstained up until this point, but after seeing modern masterpiece "Crazy" beaten by only one vote, I'm jumping on in. Mr. Brightside by The Killers vs. Toxic by Britney Spears Besides the fact that Mr. Brightside cruelly murdered "Crazy," Toxic represents the best of...

I'm reviving this thread because I am about to find myself with quite a bit of time on my hands as a senior spring semester, and I don't want to jump ship on this (also because I saw that there are two other threads exactly like this so I was reminded of this). To reply directly to Chris, I think th...

I don't see the Hunter SCOP tournament from October, and I believe there are some PPB errors from KPAQT that are currently being hammered out.

Hiya, I'm the captain of a relatively new team (almost a year), and we've been trying to break the barrier between good and great. We came into qb with natural proficiency in some areas (Geo, CE, Trash) and a decent working knowledge of others (History, Lit, FA). Over the last 6 months, we've devote...

UPDATE: This will be played on a Discord server.

If you signed up for this, please message me your skype info, or else there's no guarantee you will be able to play.

Hiya! I already posted the following to the Facebook-qb-sphere but I was told by some others that the forums might appreciate this packet: Bard would like to announce our first "fun" packet: COLLEGE (Certain Overrated Locations for Learning Everything Generally and Expensively). Most quest...

UPDATE: "PACE (the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence) has awarded your tournament, Bardbowl I, gold certification. This means that the top 20% of teams in your tournament (rounded up to the nearest integer) will qualify for our national high school quizbowl championship, the PACE ...

Does anyone know why the NAQT stats seem to mix up the 3rd/4th place crossover (Bard v Commack) with the 5th/6th crossover (West Egg vs East Brunswick)?

Current Field: (Teams/Buzzers/Mods) Teterboro (1/0/0) Stuyvesant (2/0/0) Great Neck North (1/0/0) Trinity (4/0/0) Middlesex Middle (2/5/1) Columbia Secondary (1/0/0) North Babylon (2/3/0) Tenafly (1/0/0) High Tech HS (2/3/1) Valley Stream South (2/3/0) Kellenberg (1/3/0) Beacon (1/0/0) Island Trees ...

Hello all! It is my pleasure to announce that Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) Manhattan will be hosting Bardbowl I on Saturday, February 10th, 2018, using the NAQT 173-A question set. This may be a bit premature in terms of a forum post, but since we’ve already gotten several registrations, w...

Thanks for replying Chloe; getting right to the point, you are totally right that the ripple effect is super-duper important in expanding quizbowl. Right now, there are probably less than 100 high schoolers in NYC who play quizbowl regularly. One or two strong programs at well-known (hopefully large...

First of all, let me preface this by saying that I’m a quizbowl novice in the most basic sense: I founded my team in December 2016, and we attended our first tournament in February 2017. All in all, I’ve been playing quizbowl for less than a year. Therefore, I do not claim to write about the sport w...

Hiya!

Bard High School Early College Manhattan will be registering 1 team, 1 buzzer, and 1 mod. I will email you my email and phone separately.

Hi there,

Bard will no longer be attending PHSAT XXV do to its conflict with Yom Kippur. We hope our departure opens up some much needed space for other teams.

Hi there,

On account of an unforeseen cross-country scheduling conflict, Bard A will no longer be attending Scarlet Knight Fall.

***now this is actually the last change***

BardBowl I will be moving to the Feb. 10th so that college students can mod. Thanks for your understanding.

***OK THS IS THE LAST CHANGE I PROMISE***
Bardbowl I will be using an introductory invitational set. Thanks for bearing with me.

Is this still a thing?

Hi all,

Bardbowl I will be moving to February 3rd to make October less crowded and give us more time to plan.

Hi all,

Out of respect for the Kellenberg tournament, Bardbowl I will be moved to Oct. 21st.

Bard Manhattan is also thinking about hosting a trash mirror sometime later in the year. Does anyone have interest in attending that?

Hi there,

Bard Manhattan is thinking about hosting a tournament on either Oct. 21, Nov. 18, or Jan. 13. This would be our first tournament, so we would like to know how these dates sound to everyone/the interest we could expect.

Does anyone know when date claims start for '17-'18? Thanks.

Hi there, when is the deadline to drop teams from the tournament?

Hi, I'm from the Bard High School team in NYC. Unfortunately, the LIRR has stopped running the early train between Atlantic Terminal and Jamaica, meaning that all of our members would have to take the 5:51 out of Penn Station. This means that some of our members would have to wake up at 3:45 AM to t...
