We're moving the date of this tournament to December 16th. This will hopefully serve as a more convenient date for more schools. Also, here is a nifty map of northeast Missouri, with Louisiana highlighted. (I like to think of my town as the vertex of an isosceles triangle formed by itself, St. Louis...

I'm Brandon Moore, I play for Centralia. I enjoy quizbowl (obviously), specifically, learning about literature. I'm graduating in 2018, and I'm still not sure what college I want to go to. I'm also very involved in band, choir, and student council. Michael Powers is an inspiration and I am glad to ...

Hello! On behalf of the Louisiana Academic Team, I am pleased to announce that I will be directing the inaugural iteration of the Louisiana EARly November Tournament (LEARNT) on the sixteenth of December, 2017 (12/16/2017). We will be using IS-170 for this tournament; this set is also being used at ...

Ross' 34 tossups in Round 3 is also the highest known total for an individual in a single game, surpassing Michael Powers' 33 tossups in a game yesterday and Melissa's 29 tossups in a Class 3 game in 2002. I do, however, now hold a new record - the shortest time a MSHSAA record has been held before...

Comparisons between 2017 and 2016 results: All four top brackets had at least one returning team - TJ in Class 1A, us and Calvary in Class 2A, Orchard Farm and Hallsville in Class 3A, and all but Washington in Class 4A. Ladue and Central placed the same as last year, as did Hallsville and TJ. Hickma...

After NAQT fixed a statistical error I was revealed to actually be 4th individual prelim scorer! Whoa, that must have been a big error to make a 9 PP20 difference! Did they give your tossups to a teammate in one round or something? I'll need to go back later this evening and post a correction to th...

Congrats to all sectional winners. Hope to see you all at state (I will hopefully be spectating Class 3 & 4 state as well!)

Winning your school's first ever conference championship. Also your JV placing second.

bolshevik

As an ambitious current player it infuriates me that a lazy, regressive organisation currently controls all quizbowl endeavours in the state I live in and they'd go to such lengths to hold down teams with hopes of becoming nationally competitive. It's also rather disappointing that they haven't reso...

bolshevik

Yeah, as Joe said, the extra time it takes moderators to recognize can actually be used to your advantage. Which is dumb. Because our conference duals are typically run with inexperienced/incompetent moderators, matches take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. According to my calculations, on avera...

bolshevik

I don't have a major issue with it other than that it adds additional time to matches (but it's a practically negligible amount of time). But really, the main issue is that I don't really see a clear point in its usage. If there is a reason MSHSAA enforces it, I would love to know. I think it's pret...

I should also add, we would've liked to attend JV state, but that happens to be the date of our conference tournament.

Michael, your wins were definitely impressive. We weren't too familiar with you before the tournament, probably because you don't come to mid-Missouri too often, but after you've definitely made our radar. We have very noticeable weaknesses in music and science and you did not have any noticeable w...

I appreciate the kind words, Matt. Which round(s) did you moderate for us? I think I moderated for you twice, but I don't remember which rounds they were off the top of my head. I'll have to see if I saved my schedule to check it. I was reading in the shop classroom, if that helps you place me. Oh,...

To be totally honest though, judging by the stats, I'd say our second place victory was a bit of a fluke, but I'm still really glad things worked out the way they did. The only stat that matters is a W. That's true. I was just surprised to find that we placed ahead of several teams with higher PPG ...

Ben Zhang also did it at Tiger Bowl VI. Thanks to Mr. Dennis and the rest of the Washington people for making our first tournament of the year a great one. I had a lot of fun getting torn apart by Alex singlehandedly, and now I can't wait to get a chance to play Washington. To be totally honest thou...

bolshevik

Do we have stats for this?

bolshevik

Well, it's becoming clear that Washington is indeed, as suspected, the best team in the state as of right now. Nice job, guys. After that, from what we've seen so far, Ladue is close behind. I'm excited to see this rivalry play out later in the year. Great job to both teams at the tournaments they'v...

Does anyone know anything about Marquette's players? I know one or two of them graduated but I'm not sure who - I believe they were Ethan and Sam?

Well, no rules against bumping practically dead threads. (Right?) Hey all, I'm Michael and I play for Louisiana. My hobbies include playing chess once every several months, playing video games (including C:SS/Gmod bhop), hanging out with my pals Brett and Caleb, and studying for quizbowl. I didn't h...

Some info about our team this year: - We lose graduated seniors Kelly and Carolina, as well as senior Marcelino. - Everyone else returns. Three freshmen are expected to join the team.

At present I just have one rumination to include: There are a couple (I believe) juniors from Kirksville that could make an impact, Nick Maag and Tyler Findling. Claire Benevento showed some early signs of prominence leading their C team at OMAR last year. The three of them, plus anyone who is wait...
