I'll reiterate Jon's point. In addition, there
are lots of competitions to enter if you're willing
to travel. Most comps don't restrict play to a state
except for people who run state tournaments
(duh).
To plug the ones I have some interest in
publicizing: go to Cleveland OH for our three high school
comps (<a href=http://www.cwru.edu/orgs/trivia/ target=new>http://www.cwru.edu/orgs/trivia/</a> ). We have had
a couple of teams travel from Kentucky in our field
before; one team even travelled from Memphis.
The
other comp is the Duke Academic Festival. No web site,
but if you are interested, email me and I'll send off
an e-invite.
