Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
There are several states/areas where the only NAQT set used was an A-set, so that problem shouldn't apply in every case. Those tournaments (like one in South Dakota or something) don't have very many teams in attendance to begin with either, so lowering the qualification percentage won't do much there. I guess this would go either way.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Should we anticipate another field update tomorrow, after the deadline to cancel without penalty has passed?

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
http://naqt.com/hsnct/reserved-berths.html says championships have to be held on or before 24 April to have a reserved berth, but (if I counted right) there were only 187 teams in the field as of the last update.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Current status:
187 teams listed in the last field update.
State championships:
Treasure Valley Math and Science (ID) (results) (registered)
Bettendorf (IA) (results) (pending)
La Cueva (NM) (results not on naqt.com yet) (pending)
The northern California state championship was won by Mission San Jose A (results), so that reserved berth is dissolved and we will invite the first team on the waitlist.
The last spot is reserved for the champion of the Oregon Brain Bowl. If we can't get in contact with the winner of that event in the very near future, we will dissolve that reserved berth and invite a team from the waitlist.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Let's not rehash the same arguments about how it's impossible to qualify for HSNCT when it's indisputable that wildcard bids do, in fact, exist. I would be shocked if a team that put up 20+ ppb on any regular-difficulty high school set in the fall couldn't send in a bid and make it into the field based solely on that stat (particularly considering the large part of the HSNCT field that does not get 20+ ppb on regular-difficulty high school sets.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Just so everyone knows, it looks like I'm going to be liveblogging the HSNCT again this year. Check out the intro post. Feel free to spread the word to anyone (parents, administration, influential bloggers, etc.) who might be interested in following it.
I'd definitely appreciate any feedback or ideas on what people want to see out of the blog this year. I won't have too much time before the tournament, but I do hope to have a few posts introducing some of the contending teams and giving lay people some idea of what the tournament's like.
Last year I followed this basic strategy when covering the tournament:
Friday Night- talked to various people about quizbowl and did some brief interviews (which I hope to post in the lead up to this year's tournament if I can find them on my old computer)
Saturday- camped out in the stats room, reported on results as soon as they arrived (would people prefer I wander between game rooms?)
Sunday- camped out in one playoff room, liveblogged those games, went to the stats room between rounds and talked via Gchat to get the latest info.
Any changes/additions that you might want to suggest, feel free to let me know either via comments or email. Technical comments on the layout of the site would also be appreciated.'
[Edit: Just so nobody needlessly duplicates this effort this year, I've posted a google map showing the location of all the teams at this year's HSNCT]

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
With the recent drops of registered teams (including both Brindlee Mountain teams, Brookville, Juan Diego and Assumption Catholic), it looks like the field sits at 196. If it stays this way, would NAQT re-inflate the field to 200 with standby teams? Or would NAQT run with 196, which I guess isn't hugely inconvenient compared to 200?

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
If it isn't too much work for you, Chris, it might be cool to report on what seem to be particularly interesting games, although the "matching" system of scheduling makes it difficult to know who's playing whom.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Theoretically, if you could find a master schedule, you'd at least be able to see in what rooms the top cards would meet as the afternoon went on (still not knowing what teams would have those cards by then). Don't know how hard it would be to run around room to room every round, especially when some rooms may be a bit ahead of others.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
It looks like I'm gong to stay in the stat room for the most part but may move out around lunchtime (rounds 6 and 7) to see a few matches if I can figure out the card system and the room locations (yeah Jeff, please send me whatever info you have so I can figure out where some of the best cards might be playing those rounds). If anyone who isn't busy staffing wants to be a volunteer "roving reporter" a la Chris Carter last year, let me know and we can plan out having you liveblog/report on some matches.
Also, thanks to everyone who's visited the blog so far; we're up to 1,400+ hits since I started it again this year, which is waaay more than we had at this time last year. Please feel free to send out the link to other websites who might be interested in the competition. [By the way, something like 1/3 of all the hits are coming via facebook; are people really posting links to this on their FB profiles?]
I am finding out, of course, that the more schools you mention the more controversial you get. Perhaps next year I'll sacrifice quantity for more in-depth profiles of the consensus top teams (or at least wait until after the "official" pre-Nationals poll comes out so I have some "objective" measure to work with).

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Plus I think it might be good to look at non-NAQT results as well, since doing good at good quizbowl does in fact help you at NAQT, and like Andy said in the Studying for Trash thread if you beat teams to most of the academic stuff in a packet, you will win most of the time even with the 5/5 or whatever CE/Geo/Trash.NoWayItsTanay wrote:Agreed.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
Yeah I've tried to bring in other tournament results (Harvard Fall Tournament, Prison Bowl, I think I have a GSAC link too), but the NAQT results dataset is much easier to navigate than a bunch of separate files (even on Scobowl you can't see all of a team's results at once I don't think). Also, Tanay might be right about waiting for the poll to come out so I don't unduly bias any voting with my prognostication, unless of course I have a hidden agenda and hope to achieve something in life by biasing high school quizbowl polls.Secretary of Bobcats wrote:Plus I think it might be good to look at non-NAQT results as well, since doing good at good quizbowl does in fact help you at NAQT, and like Andy said in the Studying for Trash thread if you beat teams to most of the academic stuff in a packet, you will win most of the time even with the 5/5 or whatever CE/Geo/Trash.NoWayItsTanay wrote:Agreed.

What are the practice rounds on Friday usually like? Is it organized, or do people just play with whomever? How many schools usually participate? I guess the same questions about consolation matches on Sunday.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
They try to keep it organized so that they know how many rooms are available and how many teams are around. Last year, I think they assigned teams randomly. We had to keep going back to the basement to get our next room assignment. And usually people play with their team. I don't know how many teams participate though. As for consolation matches, they sort-of do the same thing (although I didn't do hat last year, so I don't know much about it).jdeliverer wrote:What are the practice rounds on Friday usually like?

So, duPont Manual B will NOT be at HSNCT due to the Shabaricon mishap. I’d make a joke here [like: They're all tied up] but I’m sure we’ll get enough of that this weekend

Boom boom boom boom, I want you in my room.cdcarter wrote:Hey kids. Once again I have made the last minute decision to attend HSNCT and be the roving reporter of your dreams. I will have Chiego feeding me where the best games should be, but if you are a top team and you know me personally, feel free to shoot me an email with a contact phone number that I can text to see where your team is/will be going. This doesn't guarantee I will see any match of yours, but it's good to have people in the field letting us know where they are.
Of course, stranger danger and all that, if you don't know me, don't send me your number. If you are terrified of me, don't send me your number.

In case anyone isn't following the HSNCT live Twitter feed, Maggie Walker beat State College in a prelim meeting, becoming the last undefeated team, before losing to Dorman the next round.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
So it looks like after the prelims, DCD, State College, Gov, and Dorman all finished at 9-1, while Walter Johnson, LASA, GDS, and a few others are 8-2.

Re: 2010 NAQT HSNCT
It won't make a difference, since we didn't make the playoffs, but I'm pretty sure we were credited with a loss somewhere that we won, since Latin was 5-5 and we were listed as 4-6.

If they turned in an end-of-day record card with a contact number, and there is a discrepancy, they should've gotten a call. Can't offer any more info than that.
