2009 MSHSAA Districts Discussion
And when you apply a strategy that keeps them from getting math, they hate you. We did that all day; we just buzz and guess so they only have 5 seconds to do the work. The moderator took five minutes out of the game to discuss that strategies legality with everyone in the room except our team or co...

2009 MSHSAA Districts Results
Class 3 District 9
St. James and Salem played for the district championship. I don't know who one, we left.
Did anyone get a five-part bonus question as well as the exact same question in two different rounds worded the exact same way?
Because we did.
Questions Galore is... awesome.

Epic Fail thread
My team has played both NKC and PCH twice this year. In my experience, NKC may have been a little loud (maybe) but weren't obnoxious by any means.
PCH yelled out "damn" after they incorrectly answered questions.

Missouri S&T Spring Tournament - 3/7/09
He was new last year, and no one else would take the quiz bowl job. He has already said he won't do it next year, simply because he doesn't have enough time. I'm kind of worried that the program will fall apart when Will and I leave next year.
I would just coach the team myself if I could. :p

Yeah, we do have a Speech and Debate conflict that day. It is our MSHSAA District. Both myself and Will are on the team and our coach is also the coach of the Speech and Debate Team.
However, we are excited about the NAQT qualifier.

It just seems unfair to everyone but TJ "It's so unfair that all these teams are better than us. If they would stop being so good every year, than maybe we would have a reason to try." I don't have to be in your district to see how hard it is. We lose to Richland every year in our confere...

The other schools thought they had no chance, so they didn't come. I used to think like you did, Charles, TJ can be beaten in districts, but it hasn't happened in over 6 years, which makes you think, why are they always winning? I don't dislike TJ, it's just they don't let other teams have a chance...

You said we are pebbles next to a boulder. How many state and district championships do the pebbles have in comparison to the boulders?

The tournament was run extremely well, but the questions were not of the best quality. Mostly buzzer races and a lot of misleading questions.

I said Ava because they were alright about two years ago. Three years ago we had a pretty average team, and they beat us in the district final. Then the year after that, we beat them, but it was close. I really don't know how they are now, but since you say they aren't good, I feel even better about...
