Re: 2011 St. Joe Christian Lion's Legacy

Good tournament. I think the rounds were excessively long though.... 50 questions plus 20 two part bonuses is unnecessarily long, in my opinion.

Yes, but there would be no reason to----- our problem was that we could literally not be there that day. Since you wouldn't have fluctuating amounts of players available from round to round in a single day, switching players for the same reason we did would be illogical, agreed?

I'm Sam Parrilla from Park Hill South High School , class of '11.

I enjoy answering all sorts of questions, but if I had to choose one topic it'd be music.

Outside of Academic Competitions, I enjoy playing in the band (french horn), playing in the jazz band (piano), reading, and doing crosswords!

Well, I believe Liberty is building a second HS. Either next year or the one after that, Liberty will be split in half. Perhaps that'll move them down to a lower division (based on size of school). That'd be interesting.

I think there should be a way to split NKC and Liberty up. Or, as Spencer Fish suggested, a new way for how teams qualify for state. What do you think is a fair solution to the problem? Or, do you think the situation is acceptable as it is?
