Hey Guys, I know you guys are really bickering over the amount of difference the bouncebacks make, but since both teams equally use the amount of bouncebacks they want to use then there really is nothing wrong with that. After all, if you really think about it a lot of quizbowl is luck. (I know you have to have a great memory and reflexes but hear me out.) In reality you have absolutely no idea what question is going to come up, what category, what they're asking for etc, unless you happen to be one of those psychic people who predict the weather, relationships, and all the other junk. You might as well get full use out of the question. I think the writers feel appreciated when someone knows the answer to some obscure question they concocted. Which takes me back to that whole uproar over the Canadian vs. American questions and how it was unfair for blah blah blah. In reality most of the questions involve European culture. Why complain about a certain group of questions because it could be possibly prejudiced towards some North American country's kids? Questions are asked more about Winston churchill and shakespeare than about polk and chretian. Okay, enough of my tirade, since technically i'm not in the QB circuit and I probably have no idea what I'm talkin' about.
