Bryce Avery
Revision as of 16:30, 4 November 2015 by Young Fenimore Lee (talk | contribs) (replaced fun with funn, as it should be)
Bryce Avery is the President of Avery Enterprises, which bills itself as "America's biggest supplier of custom-formatted questions for academic competitions". Avery has many clients in the peripheral quizbowl world. Avery himself played College Bowl at California State Polytechnic, Pomona.
Avery Praised
- Bryce Avery sees Avery Enterprises as favorable in comparison to his smaller competitors, who do not write in as many formats as he does, as well as favorable in comparison to his larger competitors, who tend to write only in their format.
- Bryce Avery has described Avery Enterprises as "provid[ing] the best in funn and challenging quiz tournaments! "
Avery Criticized
Repeatedly on the HSQuizbowl forums, which include here, here, and probably here.
List of quizbowl events run on Avery questions
- Gallaudet
- Association of American Schools in South America
- Leagues, conferences, TV series, and radio series all across America.
- invitational Science Bowl events
Fact Mountain
Avery, along with Foothills Education, LLC, also produces a mobile quizbowl study guide app called Fact Mountain. The three fact mountain apps currently available are American Literature, Russian Literature, and US presidents and can be purchased from the Apple App Store. Apps are purchased separately for around 3-4 USD and are probably a massive rip off.
Non-Quizbowl Activity
- Apart from being a major question writer, Bryce Avery is also a registered patent agent and skilled at "Highly Technical Writing".
- The quizbowl world would be markedly better off if Bryce Avery were replaced with a clone of Bryce Avary, a fairly inoffensive musician who records indie rock as The Rocket Summer.
