Bell, Colonel By A, and Lisgar A all have perfect records. Scott Richardson of Bell is the top scorer.

I'm not seeing how this is not ideal, unless the target audience isn't going to be playing a lot of tossup/bonus quiz bowl. Even if they aren't going to be exposed to TU/B...

The two major high school novice packets I can think of are SCOP and FKT. However, the FKT has bonuses assigned to tossups, and this is not ideal as it makes the new players believe this always occurs. There's also the Fall Novice Tournament that I played during my freshman year (by the way, is that...

May I please see the Borneo tossup from IS-126?
