As far as fact checks go, I remember a couple off the top of my head: There was a bonus which said ergs and watts are units of power, but ergs are used for energy (cgs) Also, an Islam bonus (I think) that said a surah has anywhere from 2 to 286 verses. The minimum is actually 3. (I could be wrong on...

Just wondering: were there actually 327 members online the other day (seems very unlikely) or are we just really popular with the bots?

Moderator note: split from Ladue Fall Novice/Middle School Tournament thread [Note: my putting this statement here is in no way promoting Ladue's tournament over the middle school tournament at Tuscumbia or anyone else who is running one.

Not to nitpick, but tandoori is an adjective. Tandoor is the word for the clay oven.

Everyone including me already knew this but Delta seriously sucks... we're already 30 mins late, have had a gate change to a different concourse, and this is the most ridiculously slow boarding process ever!

I didn't really feel like starting a new thread, so I figured I'd just bring this one back up again.
As Charlie said up top [last year], this is a good place to put what college you've decided to attend next year, if you'd like to.

dividebyzero

Only because some of you were discussing [obviously not the right word, but the most neutral] Comic Sans before.

dividebyzero

I was definitely looking at NSC rules, but I guess I either read something from last year's rules or I just misinterpreted it.

dividebyzero

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a limit to the number of players per team, right?
Regardless, what Charles says still stands.

dividebyzero

To be fair, some of the statistics were put up within a few weeks. I can't speak for the rest of them, though. I returned the scoresheets when I was done with the stuff I already posted, so don't expect me to be posting the rest.

dividebyzero

Superplayoff statistics are supposed to include the relevant games from the playoff brackets (in this case, Carbondale v. Northmont and Ladue v. Rock Bridge A). That would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it? I don't have my computer on me right now, but I'll go back and put those in as soon as I can....

dividebyzero

Superplayoffs Stats Just to rehash what's probably already been said: The top two teams from each rebracketed group (see previous post) were Carbondale [1-0] & Northmont [0-1] from one group and Rock Bridge A [0-1] & Ladue [1-0] from the other. Everyone played the teams they had not yet pla...

Ok, we've got some stats now. Sorry about the wait, physics test and whatnot got in the way. For now, here's the results to the Rebracketed Rounds Someone please correct me if I'm not allowed/supposed to say this, but I have a small piece of advice for moderator and/or scorekeepers. There's a time a...

Just out of curiosity, do you follow/watch/play cricket, Kyle?

Just out of curiosity, what exactly happens if you break the rule? Are you just banned from state or is there more to it?

Just to get a different perspective on the tournament, from a player's standpoint how did the tournament go? [enjoyability, smoothness of operation, questions, and whatever else] I have a bit of a view of what was good and bad from the organizing/staffing side, but I was just curious as to how you g...

It's ok, most people tried not to think about those Cowboys for the past few months anyways.

Somewhat of a technicality, but "because you haven't seen them play" is different (and quite possibly had different intent) than "because they haven't played."

How horrendous. While I also take offense to the negativity towards Pokemon, I'll join in on the dislike of this sad, sad attempt of a parody (for lack of a better term).

I would tend to think there are a lot of people who would disagree with you on that point, but you're entitled to your own opinion too.

I don't know, it could actually be kinda cool. And there is some merit to the whole idea of promotion of soccer in the Middle East. Just a thought, I'll most likely just watch it on TV wherever it is anyways.

I think I can join in during break (my last final is on December 22, no free time guaranteed before that). Generally speaking, any weekday besides Friday is good for me.
