In addition to the above stats, Helias A won the 2nd place game 305-220 over Richland A; however, the scoresheet for that game disappeared.

For 2 years in a row now MFAT has seen a big jump in scoring. Kudos to all these teams putting in the work to get better and to MOQBA for continuing to improve the state of Missouri quizbowl.

Yeah, between Ahsen and Hughes, the latter attending his first tournament ever, we ran afoul of the recognition rule upwards of ten times. It's incredibly frustrating when the outcome of a game is affected by anything other than, you know, answering questions.

Re: 2011 MSHSAA Districts Discussion
the improvement in question quality effectively highlighted the fact that the format/distribution/everything else is broken... questions of any caliber suck under these constraints. atrocious tournaments such as these have no place deciding any sort of state champion.

Claiming that MOQBA events are just the same elite teams playing each other over and over is laughable. At my own tournament alone, fully one third of the field consisted of teams that attended hardly any other MOQBA events all year, if any (Warrenton, Southern Boone County x2, Monroe City). Virtual...
