As of Monday only about half of the questions were done. So we worte the others this past week(hence why i was not to be found haha) I like to put facts that happend this past week in there, like last year we had a martha stewart questions in which that friday before the tournament is when she was convicted, so that was the give away.

I've run it the past 3 years, my freshman year our president sucked and we did not have one. the year before that they had one (scores average around 50-45 a game, i kid you not) Other than that I do not know.

This was the first year we went with MSHSAA format we usually go with College format. I think next year we are hosting two tournaments , one in November (college style) and one in March (mshsaa)
