Not Tennessee? That's interesting. Was there a scheduling conflict?jrbarry wrote:Great. All Brookwood kids are going to SEMO as well.

I think I'm going to be the only one from Rockford (IL) Auburn attending at SEMO, but we do have a freshman, Matt Hargrove, who will be going to the one in Tennessee. Unfortunately, most of our players either had conflicts or are macho guys who couldn't bring themselves to attend something like quiz bowl camp. My friend Emily, who came with me last year, is quitting quiz bowl entirely... so that's it for our team.

I (Andy Wilson) and I think four others from Fremd (including Alex Beata, one of our All-Staters from last year) in Illinois are going to Maryville for ACE this year (we had vacation conflicts with SEMO). It's too bad we're missing most of the other Illinoisians (who normally go to SEMO), but hopefully the content will be just as good and give us the head start we need for next year.
directly from Fremd High School...
110 at SEMO and 200 at Maryville College as of today. We still have room at either site if you would like to enter.

Alright, I think this is my last question (and since camp starts in less than 24 hours, there's a good chance this won't get answered, but hey, I'm curious) for the camp vets/directors. Is it two to a dorm room or are they singles? I'd assume double, but I dunno. I don't really care either way, I was just curious.

Uhh...David? That was last year at New Hall. Don't know if you got the message, but we're in one of the Towers this year, the 4 dorm towers at the cafeteria site. Our bathroom situation is thusly unknown, though we're told to "prepare for community bathrooms." Hopefully it compares favorably to New Hall, because that was absolutely sweet.
And yeah, I'd assume it's still 2 to a dorm room. The two dorm styles I've heard of are New Hall (what David described) and the one at the band camp I go to, 2 to a room, a certain amount of rooms to a single (or sometimes 2) community bathrooms with showers.
ETA: I forgot to mention one thing to give us all a scant sliver of hope: They've been renovating the Towers, so it might not be community etcs. I doubt it though. Eh, oh well.

Well, all I can say is that after the New Hall, the Towers seem quite a letdown, now that I'm here. The food should be the same, though.
It would be funny if those of us that are here just kept communicating with each other through the boards.

Looks like Chris Ray (Richard Montgomery, Maryland) did the best on the tests based upon his combined rankings followed by Colleen Powers (Auburn, Illinois), Julie Reynolds (Brookwood, Georgia) and Rob Sale (Brookwood, Georgia). Good job guys.ACE Website wrote:Camp Test High Scores:

David Hoffelmeyer (Savannah, MO) actually owned enough on the Camp Test to be ranked first before practice on the first day.

Any predictions for the subject tournaments?
In lit, Chris Ray and Julie Reynolds will almost certainly be in the top three, with the third spot up for grabs between four or five others (based on the first quiz and some buzzer practice in lit 2).

Yeah, but with Chris not taking/not being allowed to take the second test, who could be behind. Other dark horses include Colleen, Elizabeth from Kentucky, and Ryan R. Also, that other Ryan, who's last name is currently escaping me
In running for last place: Me.
Highlight of camp so far: Last night when we were down by 30 going into the last practice, and I got the tossup, and we got the two bonus parts to tie it. Or, Mr. Barry saying, "In the South, nighty night means GO TO FREAKING BED!"

The Ryan mentioned above is Ryan Stander from Liberty, MO. I have no idea how he's been doing on the quizzes; he hasn't been recognized for top scores, but he could still be doing well enough for a handicap of three or four. Terin from Savannah seems to know a lot of random stuff but maybe not have a really strong background in lit. She's been acing the quizzes, though, so she's someone to watch in the finals.
In response to Trevkeeper's above post, one of the highlights of my week has been Mr. Garrick, the Lit 2 teacher, coming out of nowhere with: "I was raised Southern Baptist. I got my degree in English at Furman University and I learned to love pornography." Mr. Luce of Savannah, MO going on a rant about scrawny chickens during a discussion on the barter system in the Ancient History minor was pretty funny, too.

From what I remember:
Science: Sam H. (Richland)
Social Studies: Edgar F. (Madison North Hopkins)
Math: Justin (John?) S. (Carbondale)
Lit: Colleen P. (Rockford Auburn)
Overall, it was a really fun camp. I learned a ton, and I'll learn even more when I go over all my sheets and notes. I met some people from the boards (styxman, mrs dalloway, DumbJacques, mentalchocolate), and they were cool. Hopefully what I learned will help the team do well this year, as we have a lot of work to do.
Maybe some of my teammates will go next year, if I go...I was one of about 5 kids there all by their lonesome.
