True, the other poll was a little exclusive. I just wanted to vent about topics that I hate. Where have you seen St. Louis questions? If on a state level, that is a pretty lame question set. It is like asking about the history of Kansas City at a KC tournament, when you know there will be teams from Springfield or the Lou.

Because I hate the STL that is the only reason it got my vote. But at the UMR tournament since we write our questions I throw in a few MO history questions among other MO related crap

actually i put the STL cat. up there in hopes people would vote for it.
I forgot where, but our team went to some horrendous local tournament that had teams about places in St. Louis. One of the answers was litererally a street name

That tournament was Priory JV invitaitonal last year.
They had a category entitled "St. Louis History"
and like there were at least 1-2 questions in it each game.
Another of my favorite categories was "Members of the Beatles" or something to that extent.

Music questions are great - there is nothing wrong with questions about the Beatles. What's the difference between Beatles questions and Bach questions? not a damn thing.

members of the beatles and beatles trivia should be a MANDATORY category. minimum of one per game. art on the other hand....uggh. (of course, i probably say that cuz that was consitently our WORST area in high school. they would say "art" and i would just set the buzzers down on the desk.)

I voted St. Louis History because, obviously, I want KC History!

I can't think of a worst category because all knowledge is worth having.
