(I'm sure this already was brought up) Yes it was Haaaaa. No irony there. Current bonus calculation is: points scored/points possible; results in a bonus calculation of [0,1] Desired bonus calculation is: points scored/3 part bonuses heard; results in a bonus calculation of [0,30] To achieve this, ...

1) I highly doubt you're the only one who needs to know this, but that being said

2) People should just ask this stuff

merv1618

I find the fact that most HSNCT/PACE-relevant MO tournaments still list bonus conversion as a decimal out of one ridiculous. It shouldn't be a matter of software or anything of the sort as almost nobody else uses the 1.00 system anymore. Even NSC finally switched to 30.00.

merv1618

I mean so far this has more posted results than Hothem's preseason poll.

I say do it if the interest is there. MO college QB needs a serious boost, outside of WUSTL, MU, Truman, and SEMO.

I'm assuming Hickman A won?

staaaaaaaaaaaats I think this is actually the quickest I've had complete stats up for the Qualifier since the tournament moved to Columbia. I do like to get stats up as soon as they're done, but I don't have Internet access on my laptop at the tournament and I don't have a chance to finalize them u...

staaaaaaaaaaaats

EDIT--nvm, are here http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1218/

merv1618

But there are separate bounceback stat lines for that reason, which make sense to be a percentage. However there are plenty of tournaments which have both bounceback percentages as well as XX.XX/30.00 ppb statlines.

merv1618

I'm curious as to why most MOQBA tournament stat reports are given as a decimal percentage instead of out of 30. I mean it's easy to convert it, but it still strikes me as pretty odd.

Were bouncebacks used? I'm curious as to how SLUH B had points when Ladue A grailed round 3.

Who has the playoff stats?

merv1618

I would argue that a team is hypothetical until it actually exists, and you shouldn't rank hypothetical teams over teams that have results in real events. Also though, Hickman A had all 4 A team players in the playoffs at MFAT, so you can in fact rank them by that criteria. They still played it as ...

merv1618

I'd have to slightly disagree. I'd put the top teams as follows: 1) Ladue A 2) Hickman A 3, 4) Clayton A, Ladue B (too close to call) 5 to 8 ) Hickman B, Rock Bridge A, NKC, Hallsville "A" (too close to call) 9 and on) Parkway West, SLUH, Oakville, Hallsville "B" My reason for ex...

Hickman A's total score against Hickman C needs to be adjusted

Also as much as I believe in RBHS C, I don't think they got 32.5 ppb in one of their matches.

I feel like this is becoming the birth control argument of quiz bowl. (The sad part is that this isn't a joke.)

Note to self: find Sean Phillips a joke book.

Ladue B yeahhhh So the season's started. Hickman did very well this weekend too; I didn't see them play, but they seemed to have comparable stats to Clayton & Ladue B. My money's on those three in a three-way slugfest for 2nd-4th, at least until one of them really puts their nose to the grindst...
