As always, I wish all the participants the best and most importantly, travel safe getting there. Friday should be a very fascinating day.
Watching Auburn is definitely on my "To-Do" list unless Mr. Rathbun has other plans for me on Friday.

In my opinion, this is pretty much right.Dayo Dankole wrote:IHSA State Predictions:
Class A Pool 1: New Berlin > SJO > Farmington > Fairfield
Class A Pool 2: Lisle > Macomb > Winnebago > Herrin
3rd place: Macomb > SJO ... Macomb can simply put up more points than SJO
1st place: Lisle > New Berlin ... credit to New Berlin, but Lisle is Lisle
Class AA Pool 1: Stevenson > Carbondale > New Trier > Morton (although Carbondale could drop one if they decide to not bring their full team, as they have been wont to do of late)
Class AA Pool 2: Auburn > IMSA > Bradley-Bourbonnais > Hinsdale South (although I don't know much about Hinsdale South, but B-B seems to comport themselves well, so can handle big matches)
3rd place: Carbondale if they bring full roster, IMSA else
1st place: Stevenson* > Auburn

If this is true, then it is truly sad. Litchfield is a team that has put a tremendous amount of work in this year. I don't know Evan and Peter as people at all, but I know that they are great quizbowlers. It would be a shame if their work was even possibly compromised by an error like that. The Litchfield team showed so much class last year at Peoria, and they brought a lot of kids as well. So I hope that they can feel that the questions were at least fair. New Berlin is good too, so it is possible that this was just a straight upset.mrgsmath wrote:While I don't have all the specfics, there was bit of controversy concerning the Litchfield / New Berlin match.

Incidentally, yes; incidentally, that constitutes backseat modding. Don't do it. The board staff will police signatures on their own.Matt Bardoe wrote:Doesn't Dayo need a signature?

Re: IHSA Sectionals results and discussion
Am I missing something? Why is Stevenson suddenly a favorite over Auburn? What's their season head-to-head record?

Re: IHSA Sectionals results and discussion
Well basically Zach Blumenfeld still has skills at bad quizbowl (he's skilled on good questions too, but slightly less so). And they have a junior named Kevin Malis who study binged over the summer and got really, really good (better than Zach) at quizbowl of all types. And those two have a decent supporting cast. In the likely event that those two teams both make the state championship match, it's gonna be a very, very close gameSiverus Snape wrote:Am I missing something?

Re: IHSA Sectionals results and discussion
Having competed against Dennis Scobbie, Evan, and Peter the last three years, all of them are class acts. They all deserve a better fate if what Mr. Grant is reporting is confirmed to be true, with no disrespect to Mrs. Woodard and her New Berlin team. Dennis runs a great program and his students represent Litchfield well. I am sad today for Evan, Peter, Anthony, and all the seniors on that team that came back and wanted desparately to win Class A this year. When I reported what happened to my students (the result, not the snafu, because all the facts aren't confirmed yet), my students were completely stunned.Matt Bardoe wrote:Litchfield is a team that has put a tremendous amount of work in this year.

That's fine. Just remember -- you don't need to say anything past "It will be played on IHSA format. Between computational math, non- and anti-pyramidal questions, and non-academic questions, what happens on Friday is essentially meaningless in the broader scope of quizbowl. Even in the narrow scope of "'WHO IS IHSA STATE CHAMPIONZ', it's pointless because these games are essentially unpredictable and random.

Re: IHSA Sectionals results and discussion
Though it is fair to say that IHSA is closer to good quizbowl than Masonic, albeit barely so. This is only based on the fact there is a modicum of pyramidality in IHSA, while there is no such thing in Masonic.styxman wrote:That's fine.

Today a colleague of mine presented me with an article from the Hillsboro paper that confirms what Mr. Grant has posted above. Direct from the article (no author listed):
"Litchfield had heard the correct round two set, but the round three set of questions had been heard by New Berlin in round two. The...tournament host then put together a set of questions were, unfortunately, were not IHSA consistent format and distribution set.
At the end of the match, the (Litchfield) Panthers were down 340-230. A protest was issued to the IHSA office, but a decision was made on the spot to go with the result of the match as it stood."
Fascinating stuff.
