Woo! I got kicked! Also, we keep getting new people which is a great sign. Everyone let your team mates know this is available.

Man, I really need to do some of these! But it seems like every time a game is going on, I have some massive amount of homework to do...

If there's a time you know of that you won't be busy, just post it and we'll see if enough people are interested in playing at that time.

Yeah--and I imagine that you'll be free on a Sunday at some point...

By the way, scores from WoQ Singles Round 6:

Brandon: 50
Grant: 20
Derek: 25
Charles: 100
Brian: -5
Mike Jones: 10
Will: 0
Jason Mueller: 25

Matt and Jeffrey didn't play. Also, to explain my scores in the last game, I only played two questions before ordering plane tickets. :)

Just wanted to bump this and remind everyone that (presumably) there will be a discussion of today's districts going on in the chat room this evening, so stop by and chat with us.

A heads up about this evening: since several high schoolers will be playing MSHSAA sectionals today, tonight's games will be open to everyone.

We've all been getting lazy. Now that most AP tests are done and people don't have to rest up for state or whatever, you all should get back in the chat in 15 minutes for me to read these Nationals questions I have.

If people want to just have a general pre-HSNCT socializing pep talk or whatever, hop in the chat right now. I want to see every team this weekend, and good luck!

It's been really quiet in the chat room since HSNCT ended... people should hop into the chat room more often. Just go to http://chat.moquizbowl.com, or if you have an IRC client, join #moquizbowl on irc.slashnet.org. If we get enough interest it'd be really nice to see regular packet readings start up again...

Hey, would anybody like to rekindle this? I think a lot of new moquizbowl users have come along down the pike since I stopped reading games, so I would be willing to restart this sometime next week to read a few rounds if anyone else is interested.

There's a link in the upper right on this board--just go to #moquizbowl

Also, #scobowl has an automated bot you can use to read questions and recognize buzzes.

Full information about different ways to access the chat room

I would love to see the games happen again. I'll start a poll for the best days.
