<<I don't recall off the top of my
head....Michigan is region 9? Or am I mistaken? Anyhow. Does
anyone know whether Alma College has even bothered to
send a team to the RCT's in the last howevermany
years?>>
7... I think they might've last year or two years
ago... I wouldn't know now,
obviously.
<<I'm sure there's a quorum of at least four students
at just about every institution of higher learning
in the United States who would be
equally
interested in being involved (or much more involved) in
playing quiz bowl on an intercollegiate
basis.
It's a shame that so many don't get the opportunity,
that so many aren't aware of the opportunity, and that
so many are not aware that they really don't have to
do all THAT much to become full participants in this
opportunity.>>
I say it really depends: on what there is to do,
what other Extras they are, how much quizzing you can
do without commitment, etc.
I mean, here in
Oxford, almost every pub runs a paper-and-pencil quiz for
money/beer once a week, and there're quiz machines as well.
US-style QB is REALLY small, and you kind of have to go
out of your way to be involved. When school is a
vortex for two months and there're so many other
activities, it's hard...
