Missouri is currently 0-5. Here is the coveritlive blog, which I think has streaming audio. Here are the SQBS statistics. Here is a quick results pdf file - http://www.hsapq.com/nasat11/NASAT.pdf

The protest was most frivolous.

We ended up 9th, but we did beat 2 teams that placed ahead of us, 4th place California and Kentucky, and we played a incredibly close matches with a lot of other teams. I was really impressed with how well we played, we put up much better numbers than last year, and the field this time was much more competitive. I was even getting a lot of comments from staff who remembered just how terrible Missouri quizbowl was in the very recent past who were talking about how amazing it was our state had suddenly improved enough to produce a team this good, so all in all a good trip. Especially, I want to congratulate Ikshu Neithalath for getting a prize for being the 2nd highest scorer in this field, which is really cool. Now let's win the whole thing next year, guys!
