I love bouncebacks because I believe quizbowl victories should be awarded to the teams that work the hardest--those with more knowledge.

SoLegit12

PACE certification will be sought, correct?
(Cheers to the passive voice!)

duPont Manual A beats Northmont in the finals (390-220)
Walnut Hills A beats Adair County A for 3rd and 4th (360-255)
duPont Manual B beats Simon Kenton A for 5th (245-210)

Edit: Scores, revision

SoLegit12

Is there word on an Eastern B team?

SoLegit12

Sorry to interrupt this format discussion, but for bracketing purposes, Manual will not be at full strength, missing Akshai

Went through the suggestions mentioned in this thread before moving on to the packet-specific ones. Fixed everything except for: I don't think population increased, improvements were made in agricultural/industrial methods and a revolution in transportation was spurred by economic growth is a helpf...

He got it, thanks. I did have a question I wanted to point out though, with the preface that this is your tournament and you're free to run it how you wish. However, in your E-mail that my coach showed me, you stated that you would have four brackets, with each winner playing the other winners in t...

Here's a dumb thing ! So, are the results from Vanderbilt not going to be factored in on this? I know that the finals were controversial, but, Johnson Central, Dunbar, and duPont Manual still did very well. Considering the lack of stats, differences in games played, weakness/controversy of the deci...

SoLegit12

I told my teammates to do this earlier, but I guess they forgot. duPont Manual can't attend -- sorry for the late notice

SoLegit12

I don't think

population increased, improvements were made in agricultural/industrial methods and a revolution in transportation was spurred by economic growth

is a helpful clue at all for a monarch, considering that is the power

SoLegit12

If not, Prison Bowl is good.

Johnson Central beat duPont Manual in the final round by a tiebreaker tossup. I did not attend though.

Although there was an error in the answer line of a tossup that would have won the game for Manual. Can't be more specific

Why were you on B?

SoLegit12

I've been left off the list for qualified teams

SoLegit12

I meant a charity to coordinate with Matt's Buzzers, not just for buzzers, but funding for travel or financially helping them experience the greatness of good quizbowl.

SoLegit12

I think that quizbowl for quizbowl's sake is a good idea. I like the idea of all mirror fees to go to charity. But I also think a somewhat small percentage of the other entry fees should go to underfunded teams/districts. I just put Pakistan because I was thinking about that idea that day, but I lef...

There is one in Louisville

SoLegit12

On a more limited level, have you ever considered just mirroring an existing event for charity? That would take much less work and be much simpler, especially given that there are quite a few housewrites out there which are still underused. 1) Work is not the most important thing 2) That means less...

SoLegit12

Dear fellow members of the quizbowl community, I know the concept of a charity tournament has come up, but has been blemished. I really like the idea of our community coming together, spreading both knowledge and charity, all in one day. Maybe this money could go to Pakistani relief efforts, the Red...

SoLegit12

Btw, Manual will not be at full strength this tournament, with Shray Kapoor (captain) and I missing.

SoLegit12

But I qualified individually, right? (Like Dan-Don)
I wasn't affiliated so, it doesn't matter.

SoLegit12

At this point, we have the Kentucky rights. I'm starting to talk to Saajid, but I don't think a Manual mirror would be a problem, as it would be on a different date and market more to KY, TN, and Ohio teams 4 hrs away from Copley.

SoLegit12

It was Grayson, and I'm pretty sure they have. I'll talk to them

SoLegit12

Where are mirrors planned as of late? Can you please post a list?
And Copley is 6 hours away, unless I have the wrong place. That seems far for many teams, seeing as it isn't a nationals-caliber tournament (yet).
I'll talk to him.

SoLegit12

I wrote it on your facebook wall. For your convenience, I'll paste it.

Do you guys have all the packets written for PSAT? duPont Manual is interested in mirroring this.
If you don't have all the packets done, I will help, if you want. I am good at social sciences, history, visual arts, R and P.

SoLegit12 · Re: Dunbar Academic Fall Tournament (10/02/10) Thanks for all the compliments

Thanks for all the compliments

SoLegit12

Thank you for the information. And you are only a junior! I have a pretty good team myself in NJ, but your solo performance virtually matched my kids statiistically, and putting up over 17ppb by yourself is quite impressive indeed. Given this, I can imagine how good duPont Manual is when you are al...

SoLegit12

Wow---Nick averaged over 350ppg and 17ppb playing solo? We just played the same set at Princeton, so knowing this set makes this performance quite impressive. So, CONGRATULATIONS to Nick on an outstanding performance. But WHO is Nick? And what does DDII stand for? Is it a High School? If not, IS Ni...

Dan-Don II is now a one-person team with one buzzer

SoLegit12

Lindsay Lohan's Legal Team has added another counsel (player) and a buzzer system

SoLegit12

Meghamsh is very confident he can come... and our new name is Lindsay Lohan's Legal Team

SoLegit12

duPont Manual, or at least myself, will come unofficially. The tentative name is Pallet Town Prep

SoLegit12

Take off an official duPont Manual.

SoLegit12

Isn't it Christoph (from State College)?

SoLegit12

Too bad we can't make this a "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" -- but I like February regardless. What is the KY schedule?

SoLegit12

How do January or December look?

SoLegit12

Actually, we may be able to have this on time, as we are currently working on a collaboration with Richard Montgomery to get this done

SoLegit12

This will not be held as a fall date tournament to provide the best questions/tourney as possible. This will in all probability be a spring tournament, perhaps with Richard Montgomery collaboration

SoLegit12

Our team performs a lot better on PACE distribution. (See Sandy's post)

SoLegit12

I think September 25th would be a good date. Problems?

SoLegit12

We're coming -- at least 2 teams with buzzers and reading

SoLegit12

New ETA on the archive?

SoLegit12

Jarret Greene has just volunteered to assist us in history

btw, due to new writing constraints

We have decided to downgrade social sciences to 1/1 and expand art to 3/3

I would love to go a mirror of PSAT/NMSQT (or whatever the acronym is). That would probably be the best mirror for this timeframe

SoLegit12

I assume that I will be the only person who takes this stance, but I believe that NAQT's distribution is pretty near perfect. I think that while an increase in myth, social science, and philosophy is well intended, it would be harmful to the community as a whole. The basis for this opinion are my o...

This.

Can't have it two weeks before the HSNCT. Culver's Midwest is the same day, which will attract at least Manual, Danville, DCC, Dorman, and Dunbar.
