I'm posting this from a friend's computer, here's the top 4.
1. Paul Lawrence Dunbar A (KY)
2. Madisonville (KY)
3. Paul Lawrence Dunbar B (KY)
4. Westminster Christian Academy A (MO)
Overall... ehh... I wasn't as happy with it this year as I have been in the past. Dunbar again kicked it up a notch, the B team defeated Ladue in quarterfinals by 5 points.
Dunno what else to say except that Bill was there and the one game of ours he watched was our 2nd worst (the consolation game we were just like "Ehh").
He'll get details when gets back to Rolla, I'm sure.

yeah noone cares about you and TMCE... thanks for saying hi clark.
Saw some good teams today and some not so good teams
but 44 in all,
I did think the questions we a little rushed in spots... and way to much probablity(sp).
In other news TMCE did kick my butt on round six... 215, 120 with jeff playing third who had 150 himself. took me awhile to get back into High school mode.

I think I'm sticking with the "This round is being brought to you by Chuck Norris" spiel at the beginning of games I moderate.
I put up 230, actually, and would have been more if I wouldn't have said Sun Tzu instead of Sun Yat-Sen... <_<

And those teams were definitely weak all around. We were kind of disappointed, especially after the calibre of teams that normally come. Of course, Dunbar didn't disappoint. How'd they do at NAQT last year?

Well, until the playoffs, I wasn't sure you knew who I was, and I'm not about to introduce myself as "I'm jcarkeys from the ScoBo forum". Plus, you always appeared busy.
Then, at the playoffs, I finally convinced my girlfriend to come to a match. She was thoroughly impressed (which was muy bueno ^_^). Soo... yeah.
At the end, I just really wanted to leave, so I figured that head nod was sufficient.
William couldn't play on our team cause he had to take the SAT 2's in the morning.

Dunbar last year at NAQT... tied for 20th. Their coach mentioned he was planning on taking all three teams to nationals this year

Props to Wash U on running a fun tournament.
I thought the overall caliber of competition was pretty good, once you got beyond prelims. I watched the Westminster/Madisonville and the finals rounds, and the teams that went late into outrounds certainly were there for a reason.
Dunbar was once again a dominant team, if a bit slower on the buzzer than last year. One thing that struck me was how balanced their three teams were- their A team beat their C and B teams on overtime tossups. Apparently everyone on their 70+ member team picks a subject area as a frosh and a second one as a junior and studies up that way. I think this is also how consistent national powerhouses (TJ, for one) maintain their strength. Perhaps an idea to consider if a Missouri team plans on challenging at a national level, although one man teams do place in the top 10 at nationals.

Okay, explain this. Was this during lunch or what? Was this just between you guys? You better not be inadvertantly destroying whatever growth St. Louis has made in the realm of academic competition, because they'd be whining like crazy and we'd also have to deal with that.East Buc & UMR wrote: In other news TMCE did kick my butt on round six... 215, 120 with jeff playing third who had 150 himself. took me awhile to get back into High school mode.

We couldn't get into the tiny room where WCA was playing Salem in the first round (round 6 overall) of the playoff bracket, so we just sat in a lounge for that game. Next round (quarterfinals), we watched the game between WCA and SLUH; and we got the round 6 questions so we could play them. Bill, TMCE, and I played individually.L-Town Expatriate wrote:Okay, explain this. Was this during lunch or what? Was this just between you guys?

Well the story went... TMCE, Jeff and I tried to watch the Salem A vs. WCA game which was round 6. Instead since Salem filled the room we had to go find another room... but by that time the only game that had room was Ladue's which TMCE and I saw twice in the morning. So we rested. Watched the WCA game in the next round.
After that game We didn't want to watch another game so we went and got packet 6 Forbis read as he read that round in play. So it was TMCE Vs. Jeff Vs. Me.
As for you Marie.... you sure knew who I was since I was wearing a my shirt... you on the other hand you didn't have a shirt saying marie... nor did I know what you look like.
As for clark I didn't see him until after the prelim's... my favorite quote was TMCE saying he didn't know what Clark looked like.... Are you kididng me his avatars is him holding a camera.

I wasn't in STL. Bill and I are referring to a long-ago event. Which I guess it doesn't make sense to talk about on a thread about stl...sorry for the confusion, George!
...If I was a-goin' to stl, I would totally tell you.
You know, I've been to stl TWICE in my LIFE. And I consider myself a Missourian and a city girl. Is there something wrong with this?? hehe.

I'm definitely a city kid and a Missourian, but I have only driven past KC. I will be visiting there next Tuesday, though - but for a very limited time. Call me. I'll PM you my cell.

Hey, cool, KC's a good place. I won't be around next Tuesday, though. School in Springfield=NOT up to city kid standards, but I deal with it. haha

You're complaining about Springfield .... it only had 100,000 people or something around there.
What does Kirksville have .... a7,000 and a wal-mart ?? ... yeeeahhhh.

Hey, you chose it.
You know what else Springfield has that Kirksville doesn't have?
The Ozarks.
Springfield=the south. Not the midwest. Definitely the south.
