Yes, but we'll have a more difficult time with States. Just based on prior competition against the teams we'll face on Saturday... It's usually a three-team race in our district, so the odds are better.STPickrell wrote:Come to think of it, don't you have to make Regionals too? :-)MLWGS-Gir wrote:Quint, we still have to make states.

Past performance does not necessarily indicate future success. Besides, we have no idea what kind of questions Mr. Pickrell has in store for us.

(Apologies for the swearing. That rule must have been updated since I stopped consistently visiting the forums.)
I would like it if, you know, any Virginia teams could actually come, so what about having it on the 8th after the taping? Ours is the first taping of the day, so we would still probably be able to get going at around 2:00. The only other teams going that day that are likely to come are Gonzaga and Rockville and I'd be fine working out something with them if the thing ran late. Thoughts?

It's okay dude. I'm pretty sure we've had that rule since you registered, but regardless, I doubt anyone's retinas were burnt away or anything like that.segregold wrote:(Apologies for the swearing. That rule must have been updated since I stopped consistently visiting the forums.)

I don't think that's a good idea at all. If you want to accomodate for Virginia teams, why not start around the normal time without the A-team? I'm sure there are people at RM who can direct a tournament besides you or Mr. McKenna. Or, if you need to be there, why not let an alternate play for you?segregold wrote:(Apologies for the swearing.

There's no reason that we can't start it around 2:00. A lot of the reason that tournaments go so long is wasted time; if we run efficiently, we could easily be done by 7 or 8. Let's consider: 6 preliminary rounds plus 3 playoff rounds makes at most 9 rounds. If we want the tournament to be done within 5 hours, that means that each round can go for about 30 minutes, which is more than enough time to finish a packet of 20 questions.I don't think that's a good idea at all. If you want to accomodate for Virginia teams, why not start around the normal time without the A-team? I'm sure there are people at RM who can direct a tournament besides you or Mr. McKenna. Or, if you need to be there, why not let an alternate play for you?
If anyone else objects to this and also wants to wake up at 6 AM to go to RM's tournament, speak now.

My coach doesn't like Sunday tournaments, he says fewer teams come to them; he's also a good Catholic boy, and I don't want to mess with religious sensibilities. In any case, I don't think we would be able to have a Sunday tournament until at least April.Sunday is not an option?

Well, he ran our tournament two years ago when he was a student at RM, and he's having that Weekend of Quizbowl thing... he's not running our tournament or anything, I don't know where you're going with that.I hear Chris Ray runs tournaments sometimes. mirite?
Scratch all that I said about night tournaments and the month of March. RM's tournament will be held on Saturday, April 19th, 2008. This is an almost-official date, my coach will confirm with our principal tomorrow, but it is extremely unlikely that it will be moved again.
April 19th is the first day of Passover, but we guarantee that we will have you out of our tournament by sundown; my coach refuses to let us run these things with anything less than Prussian efficiency, so it should be done by 3:00.
Cost will be $55 per team, $10 off for each working buzzer set brought, $5 off for each additional team.
Please email me or post here if you're interested in attending. I promise with 95% certainty that we will not be moving the date again. Early registration should be completed by April 11th.

Re: 2008 Richard Montgomery Quizbowl Tournament (4/19/08)
I'm just making a new post so that this goes to the top of the forums again. Tournament is happening on April 19th- I've heard rumors that this is also tentative Virginia States, or something, but that's not listed here and we can't move the date again. Hopefully Virginia teams can still make it. Please express interest here or send me an email so that I know how many folks are showing up; keep in mind this tournamkent is really only a month and a week away. Thanks.

Re: 2008 Richard Montgomery Quizbowl Tournament (4/19/08)
We announced our tournament before they did and I hadn't seen anything about it on the forums. It would be great if Virginia teams can make it or send a secondary team, but we've moved the date for our tournament too many times and, unfortunately, we're never going to be able to satisfy everyone. I'm sorry that the conflict exists.Virginia NAQT States is April 19, According to the UVA Quizbowl Web page.

If so, what time would you like us to arrive?
And could we please have a field update?

This tournament is still on in the sense that I have all the questions and the date and the place; that said, no one has registered yet for it, so I hope interested parties start doing that within the week. When they do I'll update. Arrival would preferably be at 8:00-ish, we hope to start going early so that we can finish sooner.

I'd like to just kindly ask the metro area teams (and beyond) to sign up for this tournament so it doesn't end up the disaster - i.e. cancellation - that was the Maryland State Championship. Even though RM this year is notoriously apathetic, they tend to write decent questions and run the tournament efficiently.
Also, Keith, sign us up for one team.

I'm just saying it so that it's said: apathy is not my fault. As for the questions and the efficiency, I can promise both will be present in spades.Even though RM this year is notoriously apathetic, they tend to write decent questions and run the tournament efficiently.
Please sign up for this so that we can finally have the tournament and I don't have to lug the questions around for another year.

Hi.
I sent an e-mail to your school, but my students from Delaware would like to attend this tournament if possible. Let me know, in e-mail or in this forum, any other information you can give to us. We'd like to bring two teams if possible.
Also, in the e-mail, if you could please list a phone number that you could be contacted at in case of emergency, so i can write this down on the approval form i need to send to our principal in the coming days.
Thanks!

Information update: the rules meeting for our tournament will probably begin at 8:45-9:00. Please try to be there by then; it will probably be in the cafeteria but I'll tell you when I know.

Re: 2008 Richard Montgomery Quizbowl Tournament (4/19/08)
Teams I am considering registered or semi-registered:Field update?
Walter Johnson (one team)
Caesar Rodney (two teams)
Whitman (two teams)
Gonzaga (at least one team)
Kellenberg (at least two teams)
Reservoir (two teams)
Wilmington Charter (at least one team)
So about 10-11 teams. Not great considering that the tournament is less than a week away. Please, if you've been thinking about registering and haven't for some reason, email me at [email protected]. If you know any other teams that might be interested in coming and just haven't heard about the tournament, feel free to tell them. The tournament isn't going to be canceled insofar as I know, but a field of ten would probably suck even if it did happen.

Will additional moderators be necessary? I've been told by many (including Bill Tressler of Charter) that i'm one of the better readers for the tournaments my school attends, but i'd really rather not read if i didn't have to. I'll pitch in if necessary, however.

I believe that we're okay for moderators at the moment. Certainly if you have a preference towards not reading, you will not be forced to.Will additional moderators be necessary?

There are still a number of teams that I have not heard anything from. We are planning on capping the field at 24 teams, and we are probably going to make brackets tomorrow and Thursday, so if you're still interested in coming please email me at [email protected] as soon as you can. We have enough teams coming and I'm putting the finishing touches on packets as we speak, so we are officially on for Saturday. Registration will be between 8:00 and 9:00, please get there earlier rather than later so that we can finish as soon as possible. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Re: 2008 Richard Montgomery Quizbowl Tournament (4/19/08)
It is disappointing that Charter can't make it, but it still looks like we are going to have 16-18 teams and so the tournament is of course still on. I remember first announcing this thing as a fall tournament back in September; it has been a journey to where we are now, friends. I'd like to thank WJ's Daichi Ueda for helping me with the contact info for some of you teams to get you all to come.
Tournament details: we are looking to start registration at 8:00 and finish by 9:00. There will be three or four brackets that will play 4-6 rounds against each other, followed by 2-3 rounds of playoffs. Each packet has 20 pyramidal questions of mid- to high-difficulty level (but I've made the powers fairly generous), slightly skewed towards history, literature and science but with a little of everything present. Lunch will be at around 12:00 (there are plenty of fabulous restaurants in the area; details will be provided at the tournament) and hopefully we will all be able to go home before 3:00. If you are interested in purchasing the questions after hearing them, we can negotiate that. Please try to arrive at this thing fairly early so that we can get started and finished as soon as possible.
The school's address, for those of you not in the know, is 250 Richard Montgomery Drive in Rockville, Maryland. For questions, or if you haven't received confirmation of your registration from our coach yet, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Very last-second registration is still open if you want in.

Re: 2008 Richard Montgomery Quizbowl Tournament (4/19/08)
I'm happy to say that the tournament ended ahead of schedule (~2:30). WJ managed to beat Whitman in a close game. Kellenberg A and Gonzaga competed for third place, but I am not completely sure who won. I believe Feldman will be posting the official stats he was in charge of pretty shortly.
Thanks to everyone for coming. Hopefully we will be able to update your ahead of time for the probable tournament we will have in the fall and be able to keep the first date we see instead of having to push it back.

As a side note, if anyone is interesting in purchasing the questions we used (I may clean them up a bit first for some grammar mistakes) or arranging a mirror tournament, please contact me or another team member to discuss it.

Re: 2008 Richard Montgomery Quizbowl Tournament (4/19/08)
I don't know where to start, but I guess I should start off saying that I had fun at this tournament - the tournament ran with "Prussian efficiency" as promised, we got to play Chicago Open for a singles event, Abiola was a really nice/humorous moderator, the prizes were cool (boxing gloves and a cake!) etc. Thanks for hosting. Hopefully, this tournament gave you some much needed cash, and RM will be active in the circuit back again.
EDIT: I demand the "awesome prize" which Feldman promised for the singles event. I think I should also get something for winning the neg award.
EDIT: removed the critique of the questions
