Any of you wondering what became of the Sandia National Labs Quizbowl Experiment (Message #13067) can peruse the following link. www.kirtland.af.mil/Organizations/Public_Affairs/nucleus/30Jan04/page s%2010-11.pdf It's pretty generic in terms of qb information, but it gives an idea of what kind of thing we hold each week. This just was published today, so I'll expect those interested USAF members to flood my inbox with stuff early next week. And, uh, don't mind that part in the article about one team getting clues revealed by the other team if they're wrong on a tossup. In related news, at the upcoming High School Science Bowl (28 FEB 04), I'm going to pitch the idea of a high school qb tournament. There are usually about 50 teams at the HSSB, and I'd like somewhere around half of that to come to an inaugural event. This event would also put into practice the solitary quizbowl concept (Message #11698) and the modest ladder proposal (wow...back in the list-serv days) -- the former in the case of a circle-of-death tiebreak after pool play, the latter to rank the teams in an orderly fashion with minimized repeated matches. IF indeed the tournament does happen, and IF indeed the above two "innovations" are employed, I will give a rundown of how well they worked (or didn't). The aforementioned SNL/KAFB quizbowl group is in need of some questions, having practically exhausted the free rounds from the major companies. I'll peruse the archive, but since I've already collected some bank, it's only fair that I ask: does anybody have recent HS or JB level questions for sale? Anything from the latter half of 2002 onward will be considered. We've played and enjoyed the '03 Haskins questions, so please respond to me (zundevil at Y! dot com) if you've got some of that level. I'm specifically paging Bryce Avery here in particular. And speaking of UTC...did anybody post the Trashmasters '03 statistics and standings yet? Lastly...can anyone send me the e-mail addy of Michael from Vanderbilt? Maybe even Michael himself? ZD
