Kyle Hill played for Liberty from 1999-2003 and Truman State from 2003-2006. He was a member of Liberty's MSHSAA state champion team in 2003, earning All-State in 2002 and 2003. He was also a member of Truman's 4th place team at the 2005 CBI NCT.

Question Writing

Kyle edited Liberty's 2003 tournament and was an editor for CCOMBB, a short lived coalition of question writers in Missouri. While an early proponent of pyramidal questions in Missouri, for some reason he never wrote exclusively pyramidal questions as several of his questions were one-liners. Other unusual exploits include introducing a 1/0.4 per MSHSAA-format game Media subcategory of Literature (his major was something like Broadcast Journalism), and insisting that there is nothing wrong with writing foreign language questions entirely in Spanish [1].

-He is notable for being almost as annoying as [[Jason Mueller]], constantly making references that nobody understands and making up things that nobody cares about.  His most Mueller-esque exploit was writing a [[Quizbowl_songs#Sc0lr_Boi.2C_by_Kyle_Hill_.282003.29|parody]] of an Avril Lavigne song which actually got printed in Liberty High School's newspaper (which he wrote for), accompanied by a disturbing [http://moquizbowl.com/single/?p=46936&amp;t=516624 photoshopped picture]
-Kyle seems to have stopped making terrible posts to the [[Missouri Academic Competition Message Board]], so his brother is about the only person in the quizbowl community who still has to put up with him.
 ==Question Writing==
-While an early proponent of pyramidal questions in Missouri, for some reason he never wrote exclusively pyramidal questions, as several of his contributions to a short lived coalition of question writers in Missouri (CCOMBB) were one-liners.  Other notorious exploits as a primary editor of CCOMBB include introducing a 1/0.4 per [[MSHSAA]]-format game Media subcategory of Literature (his major was something like Broadcast Journalism), and insisting that there is nothing wrong with writing foreign language questions entirely in the language being asked [http://moquizbowl.com/topic/517458/1/?x=50#post63973] (not to mention that writing foreign language questions is bad in general).  In retrospect, it's shocking how [[Jeffrey Hill|his brother]], who was also a CCOMBB editor and the creator of the question database it used, didn't eliminate these ideas, especially since he was pretty much the only one contributing during CCOMBB's second and final year.

-ANSWER: La '''Lechuga''' (lay-CHEW-gah)
