We have expanded to 24 teams, and we are actively lining up additional staff. Should we have the staff to do so, we will expand once more.

Just as Mid-Lakes hit a stride and went back up to 8, Skyline announces they’re moving to the Southwest conference . Several former MLC members are here, and the size matchup makes more sense, according to Skyline’s AD. I won’t elaborate, but I expect Mid-Lakes will want to replace Skyline as they ...

With thanks to additional staff commitments, we are going forward with a final field expansion to 36 teams. Additional teams will be placed on the waitlist and moved into the field should spots become available.

We have secured IQBT Regular Set #4 . As of the date of this post, the Patriot Academic Tournament at Parkway South is also using this set. We have also lined up enough staff to expand the field to 36 teams. My immense gratitude to Dr Morlan, as well as Coach Malecki at Lakeland and Coach Schenewerk...

As I type this, I am finding myself in a rush of reflection for the significant presence Scholar Bowl (and every associated name for our activity) has made across Missouri since its arrival in the late 1960s. So much of a rush that, upon learning of this, I rushed out of a session at a convention I'...

I can now announce a field expansion to 32 teams. With a handful more scorekeepers, we can achieve a final field expansion to 36 teams.

Should we end up with 32 teams, we will again utilize a power-matching card system in the morning, followed by playoff & consolation pools in the afternoon.

Several of you may have seen late this morning on the Quizbowl Discord a statement made by the head writer of KICKOFF II, the set we were planning to use at MAIN, announcing that this set would not be available this season.

It looks like Central and Parkview will join Kickapoo and Glendale in the COC . Parkview will join Central as a football independent. SPS might find ways to keep their rivalries intact.

The next 18 hours are going to be interesting along I-44, as Camdenton, Rolla and Waynesville have until 2p to accept their invites to the COC.
