Re: Maryland/Washington DC NAQT Tournament April 5 at Blake
Whitman had registered a team before the tournament was canceled. It's possible that enough people from that 5/6-person hybrid team would still come, but it would need to be worked out ASAP.

Re: Byko Rankings
I don't mean to nitpick, but I was just checking our stats, and Whitman's 205-285 loss to Stuyvesant in round 4 of the DACQ Saturday Tournament isn't the right result from that round (I can't remember what happened in that round, but we went 5-1 with the loss to Charter in round 6).

Re: Yes, it's another thread about math
There is a world of difference between giving some very basic math problem that truly is a race to see who can crunch a number faster (which I agree is far from good quizbowl like any buzzer beater would be), and a question that gives information in such a way that permits a player with more advanc...

Re: Whitman Tournament Dates
Because of building considerations, plus our school's band trip, the tournament will probably end up being moved to May 10th. Thanks for voting; the anouncement will be made in the appropriate forum when we are ready to do so.

Whitman Tournament Dates
Whitman had originally planned to hold its tournament April 5th, but that's the only date that Blake can hold the state championship on. So, possible dates: April 5 - same date as Maryland/DC states April 12 - our taping day, so there could be some logistical problems April 13 - I don't see anything...

Having a round robin in the playoffs for a tournament in which teams travel as far as they did for this one seems reasonable to me, but the ratio of 5:7 did seem a little out-of kilter, and slightly smaller playoff brackets would have both allowed other teams to play more games. IMO, the Palestinian...
