Good (or bad) wrong answers

Someone from Hallsville said "Dancing Queen" as well. Later on in the match, where you had to spell rottweiler, I missed it. I looked at the girl from Hallsville next to me and said, "I guess spelling German words is my Waterloo." And yes, she got the reference. That's only funny...

How to do this

You're right, that it's 6!/4. There are 6 letters, so its 6! for those. However, you have two Ms and two Os. A total of four letters that appear twice, therefore you divide by four.

What qualifies as "academic competition?"

I don't think there should be a limit on the number of games, either. Having only 14 dates limits the experience one can get. With a higher amount, teams could play so many more games and get experience. Back to the original subject of this thread: My coach recently said that we could not play a gam...

Doesn't that imply you?
Yes, but not only me. Lucas, Edward, and AJ also answered a lot of questions.

My main premise in that post was to show that our team is back, with all the same people that played at state.

Paper in matches

We're pretty picky about getting ourselves used to that rule, so even at all of our conference matches, we will not allow anyone to write on paper until the game begins.

We don't even hand out the paper until right before the moderator begins the first question.
