Mountain Brook High SchoolSchool Name?

NoDoes your school have a regular period where scholar's bowl meets and works together?
NoIf not, does your team meet every school day outside of school?
Yes, about 45-60 minutes each Wednesday afternoon.(given a no above) Is there any scheduled practice time? If so when?
None. We have 6 or 7 regulars to practice, 2 guys who regularly make tournaments. We both try to recruit who we can for each individual tournament so many of our players have little to no experience (though they usually are good and effective support). So we vary wildy on what we bring to each tournament. Last two years we have brought from between 1 team of 3 to Brindlee Mountain this year, to 2 teams of 6 with no chaperone two years ago at Bob Jones, to 3 teams of 6 to several tournaments. (usually 3 reoughly even teams, 2 years ago at Holy Spirit our JV team came within 5 points of beating at full strength squad from ISS with James and Evan. We were up by 85 in after three rounds but a lightning round turned fourth round consisting only of single sentence questions asking for Saint names did us in and we lost 8 questions to 2. Not necessarily the ultimate hose round, but oh so close, they went on to beat our A team the next round by a small margin and win the tourney)Are than any requirements for attendance on your team?
None. Our practices consists of running through a couple Alabama, Florida, or NAQT rounds.Do you require any outside work on your team?
Yes. We have a very good debate team that often saps us of our talent for tournaments. (i.e. we sent about 20 people to Chicago for a debate tourament this year. They've been to Dallas, Atlanta, and are going to San Fransisco and a couple other 2 days trips)Does you school have any other academic teams? (i.e. debate) Are they among the best in their field of competition?
Yes. They meet once a week and, at least when we were there, very rarely came home without either 1st or 2nd place hardware from a tournament. We won ASCA sectionals my three years there though we only send 8th graders.Does your school have an established Scholar's Bowl team at its feeder school(s)
