I hope this means that Gov Cup quick recall questions will be better (maybe even pyramidal?!) in Kentucky

[First Chairman]

That's the ultimate goal. I think I speak for Jessie to say we're really excited about discussing this with the Kentucky attendees, and we hope to help transition teams towards pyramidal questions, especially for the Gov Cup series.

So, how did it go? Did you have many attendees?

[First Chairman]

In total we had 6-7 question writers in addition to Jessie, John, and me. Most of the writers tended to do more work on the middle school level rather than the high school level, so there was a lot more discussion on those lines though most of our examples were more appropriate for high school level. I'll defer to Jessie and John to provide more of their perspectives.
