Any packet submission guidelines yet?

TheCzarMan

Overall, an excellent tournament. Well run, good questions, free food--everything went well. We had one issue with a moderator who had quite a bit of trouble enunciating and peppered everything with a generous layer of "ums", but it wasn't a major issue and the other facets of the tournam...

What happened to Gorman exactly? I heard he missed a couple buzzer races and sort of fizzled out.

TheCzarMan

I'd like to petition to have my team name changed from "Bloomfield" to "American Airlines"

TheCzarMan

Looks like I'll definitely be starting a club at Montclair State

Hopefully some local coaches know of former players that went there.

TheCzarMan

I don't know why I have to keep telling you people that this is not the way things work in other states It is the fact at least for my school, which is in NJ and I guess the same geographical region as NY, which you cited earlier. I already am having enough trouble going solo to Prison Bowl, when I...

TheCzarMan

Of course Bloomfield will be coming.

BATE Writing has hit a logjam of sorts, as we're faced with one last category with which none of us are really good at writing for and need some input and hopefully questions from someone much better at it than us. So any good RMP writers out there want to help, just email theczar1724 AT gmail.com ...

There is flexibility on the date, of course. As long as the moderators don't allow discussion of the questions to take place until ever mirror finishes.

And yes, it means what it says. No mirroring fee.

TheCzarMan

http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6575 So far we have mirrors at UCLA, and Dunbar HS has shown interest. So if anyone from the Midwest, South, or farther down in the Mid-Atlantic (Virginia area) would like to mirror I'm willing to listen to any offers. There is no cost to mirr...

TheCzarMan

16 spots left now with about a month and a half to go. This tournament will also be a PACE qualifier more than likely as well now.

TheCzarMan

Can we get the host site of BATE affiliated as well?

TheCzarMan

GREAT SCOTT PYRAMIDAL QUESTIONS! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

TheCzarMan

Bloomfield coming looks up in the air at the moment, at least with 2 teams. May or not pile into a car and bring one team. What is the policy on inclement weather? Will we be able to get our registration back if unable to attend due to weather?

TheCzarMan

Confirmed teams updated, and I'll talk to Aaron about that Mehdi and Jonathan.

TheCzarMan

Figure this would be a good place to discuss amongst ourselves acceptances, and where we'll be playing Currently, schools I'm applied to where I would play QB are VCU (Accepted), Maryland, Delaware, and Rutgers. Other schools I've applied to I would attempt to start a program. What about everyone el...

SHP is officially out. With my kids coming from all over northern sections of New Jersey, I am not inclined to take too many chances for a 6:00 am departure tomorrow morning. Sorry Bill ... see you at the next one. (By the way ... the forecast is for 1-3 more inches where I live tonight and re-free...

TheCzarMan

Weather update: We are getting rain here right now. It is my understanding that north of us (like northern Jersey/Long Island) is getting snow. At this present second, everything is a go, but I will understand if conditions become unsafe for some teams to travel. It's the Blue Hen from 2 years ago ...

TheCzarMan

Whoops, so yeah, we've changed the date again. I apologize profusely for all the problems we've had getting a date. Anyway this is absolutely final. If it doesn't happen on this date it won't at all and I'll go off myself or something. Charter is interested. Exactly how many teams will depend on my...

TheCzarMan · Re: Livingston (NJ) HS NAQT - March 28, 2009 Bloomfield, definitely in.

Bloomfield, definitely in.

TheCzarMan

Basically what Michael said. Add in the fact that Jeopardy format, for some reason, seems to encourage teams that leave early, and it's a recipe for a fun afternoon.

Or what teams are going?

Um, information on that? I haven't heard anything about a competition there...

Sure, although I was hoping that WW might want to attend. If you're definitely not coming and won't be going to a mirror, then yeah I'll definitely accept your help. Just email at theczar1724 AT gmail.com

No, you are not.

TheCzarMan

Bloomfield will definitely be attending, possibly with two teams although our B team would most likely just be a feeder team for other teams to get wins off of.

Have to admit, that delay brought the highlight of the tournament for me.

I'd like to know as well, since it seems Keller wants to hold the statstics hostage.

TheCzarMan

I may come if there are no HS tournaments that week, probably to help staff.

TheCzarMan

There is now a tentative plan to have UCLA host a west coast mirror of this event. If anyone in the Midwest/South wants to pick this up as well be my guest.

TheCzarMan

I'll try writing some lit and science, but I'm not really fully experienced as far as writing. My experience is pretty much ACF Fall and ACF Winter packet parts, and an American short stories tossups packet. I can probably get you about 20/20 of science and lit by January. I need something to do wh...

Given my schedule and progress on the questions, I'm looking for another volunteer to help me and Aaron write questions. Preferably someone strong in Literature or Science.

TheCzarMan

Bloomfield will definitely have extras for a scab team, I'll send an email now.

TheCzarMan

I'll make a team for this.

TheCzarMan

Any other confirmed teams going to SKIT besides us and Seton Hall? I assume East Brunswick will also be there.

TheCzarMan

Woo, only 2 teams away from a Charter J

TheCzarMan

I'm interested in both.

TheCzarMan

I will not be able to attend due to unforeseen expenses it seems. Sorry for the late notice.

TheCzarMan

I'm more than likely committed to coming and playing now, once I get the final information from Guy.

TheCzarMan

Disappointed to not see more of the STAC Schools there (Vestal, Horseheads, Elmira, Maine-Endwell, etc.)

TheCzarMan

I'll help staff if this is done.

TheCzarMan

Bloomfield has sent their registration, and I believed postmarked by the deadline. I'll doublecheck with my adviser.

TheCzarMan

Bloomfield is more than likely going to Rutgers, not sure who else.
