CBI anyone?
I've heard that at least one team (Truman State) is skipping it this year, and hopefully forever, and I know Rolla didn't go last year, so I'm curious who is actually going, if anyone?

Did Truman get rid of it all together. It was run by the school not the Quiz Bowl team.

I can't answer your question fully other then that on the other board Kent wrote "For the first time in god knows how long, we are not wasting our time with this."

We aren't going, either.

Sujit got behind on putting together the intramural tournament so nobody from Truman will be going even though I know some of the younger players and Ali wanted to go. Oh well. I just hope that the money that would have been spent on this tournament gets used for something that benefits us but I doubt that will happen with all the SUB remodeling projects. If we could just take the $1500 they spend on those stupid questions every year, we would be made and could actually go to ACF Nats and stuff like that.

I graduated in December so I'm not playing. According to the rosters on the website, Mizzou's team includes Josh Chittum, John Behrer (he's the captain but I don't know who he is), Laura Herring (I don't know her), and Corey Schneider (I think he was an all-stater for Ray-Pec a few years ago). Wash U's roster looks awesome, though. They have Gordon Arsenoff as captain (I think he starred for Rochester), J. Brantley (back in the country), Neel Kotra (didn't he go to Thomas Jefferson Virginia?), and Laura Soderberg (I don't know her).

WashU should win nationals and if they don't, they will at least be top 4.
Andrew and Gordon playing together is pretty insane.

Should be an interesting combo of players, to say the least...mujason wrote: Wash U's roster looks awesome, though. They have Gordon Arsenoff as captain (I think he starred for Rochester), J.

And yes, Neel went to TJ
Kent, your observation may prove to be right on the money.

This has been my fervent hope, not because I think it'd be awesome, but because I think we could use it to bludgeon SU for money for years.KentB wrote: WashU should win nationals and if they don't, they will at least be top 4.

This year's field is essentially last year's field minus Truman State. As has been noted, team rosters have shuffled around somewhat, but other than that it's eight teams instead of nine.
I'm looking forward to it, assuming the Ozarks skies don't dump 8 feet of ice and snow on our roads and prevent us from going. Should be a pretty fun tournament.

Region 11 results:
1. WUSTL
2. Kansas State
3. Kansas
4. Mizzou
WUSTL beat K State in the final 515-110. They ran the table in the prelims for a 9-0 record.

Looks like it went down about how I thought it would. We opted not to go because the roads around our area and the routes we'd drawn out were still sucky as of 6 that morning.
I'll be interested in looking at the full report to see how the other teams fared and who went. I was really hoping we wouldn't be the only team to bail due to weather, since our teams have kind of a notorious reputation (2 years ago, our team left the CBI regional after day 1--all last year, I kept having people ask me if we planned to stick around this time x_X) and I know that teams failing to show up can really screw up a tourney. Still, it wasn't a decision made lightly.

We all understand and agree it's a legitimate reason. Believe me, there were a couple times I was looking at weather reports in KC and wondering if we were doing the right thing.Kenshiro wrote: Looks like it went down about how I thought it would.

As far as I know the other teams that went were Fort Hays, Missouri Central, and Pitt State.

Awesome. I'm glad all the teams that went made it safely. I'll be looking forward to Nationals coverage--it sounds like WashU has a solid team going in.
