Academic Competition Newsletter 
Vol. VI issue
3
editors: Eric Owens and Gaius Stern 
Nov. 1999


Welcome to the third issue of the sixth year of the
Academic Competition Newsletter. The primary mission of
the newsletter is to spread information about QB to
new players and schools. To get a free subscription
(or drop it), just
write the editors and ask to be
(un)subscribed. When posting questions or gripes, however, please
write only to the editors and not to the entire
subscription list.
 The newsletter will endeavor to report
fully on all QB events for teams West of the
Mississippi or of interest to those teams, continuing the
earlier policy to extend coverage towards the Midwest. As
always, subscribers are encouraged
to write the
newsletter editors with columns, tournament invitations,
opinions, corrections, and especially tournament results.
