Since no one else has posted yet, I figured I'd run this year's preseason poll for quizbowl in the state of Missouri.
To participate: Either email (itamar_naveh_benjamin@yahoo.com) or PM me your list of what you think are the top ten high school teams in the state of Missouri, ranked in order (1 being best, 10th being 10th best). You may include B teams on your list.
I will post the results on Sunday, September 22nd, so the deadline for ballots will be, say, midnight on Saturday, September 21st.

2013-2014 Pre-Season Poll
Re: 2013-2014 Pre-Season Poll
We have had an exciting TWO ballots submitted thus far! Submit yours today so that Ben Zhang doesn't effectively monopolize the preseason poll!
Re: 2013-2014 Pre-Season Poll
The results are in! The #1 pick gets 10 points, and the #10 pick gets one point.
1. Ladue A (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) = 60
2. Hickman A (3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2) = 52
3. Hallsville (2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3) = 50
4. Rock Bridge A (4, 4, 6, 4, 8, 4) = 36
T-5. Parkway West (6, 5, 4, 8, 5, 5) = 33
T-5. Oakville (5, 6, 5, 7, 4, 6) = 33
T-7. SLUH (7, 8, 7, 9) = 13
T-7. Ladue B (9, 5, 6) = 13
9. Clayton (8, 6, 10) = 9
10. Hickman B (10, 9, 7) = 7
Also receiving votes: Rock Bridge B (5), Thomas Jefferson (4), Priory (3), NKC (2), Tuscumbia (2), Helias (2), Parkway North (1), Kirksville (1)
The drop-off in voting consistency after T-5 suggests that spots 7-10 are unclear to voters, and are ripe for the taking!

Re: 2013-2014 Pre-Season Poll
I mean so far this has more posted results than Hothem's preseason poll.
