As long as n > 0... ;)

TJ would like to have its team name be "This second novel by Fitzgerald" in homage to the excellent bonus part from NSC.

I'd just like to point out a minor error in the number of games played by each team member on Walter Johnson (and possibly on other schools as well): Both Daichi Ueda and Kuo-Kai Chin played 14 games as it correctly states, but Andi Shahu and Ophir Lifshitz played just 4 games, and Ashu Joshi and D...

Specifically with regard to physics questions: I'm obviously not...

Thomas Jefferson is in the extremely preliminary stages of planning a possible middle school tournament for next year. I did not play quizbowl or anything like it in middle school, so I was wondering what the middle school canon consists of. Additionally, what areas are over/under-covered that you t...
