one time in college i was on a quizbowl team and the question was read as “the enlarged radial sesa-“ and i buzzed in and yelled “giant panda!” and got the question correct because i had just read the panda’s thumb like a week earlier and knew about its enlarged radial sesamoid bone as a false thumb

When I became captain of the Quizbowl team in college, I kicked a few guys off for it. Very satisfying.

Damn I love a good LAMBDA expression

In this case, the expected number of teams with n wins after playing g games, assuming a typical @naqt.com card system is being used

My old college quizbowl teammate at the University of Arkansas Dargan Ware made quite the first impression on Jeopardy! today! Woo Pig Sooie!

I will not be at No Kings on Saturday. I will be at a quizbowl tournament.

I protested on November 5th.

I don't know how to get people who matter to look at my beautiful cartoon show pitch or pilot script.

Maybe I should just loose it on the internet. Let them have it just so someone will see all the shit I drew for it.

was never on SA, but the quizbowl message boards were a formative experience for me, and yeah

Took the local high school's quizbowl team to their first invitational tournament. Observations:

-The proper ratio for the lunch order is two medium pizzas for every three players, assuming there are sides available.

-If the next "team" you're facing consists of one sole boy, you will lose.

this is well on its way to becoming a quizbowl flashcard

Now we wait for the rest of Round 9, the last in the prelims. With the next round, we start Coach Mora's favorite phase of a #quizbowl tournament.

BASIS Silicon Valley's late surge comes up just short. After erasing a 65 point deficit to bring a lead into the last cycle, Hopkins snags the last TU to secure the victory.

Good morning from Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where I'm manning statistics for the 2024 Southeast Sectional Championship Tournament - the best of collegiate quizbowl in the South!

Before my son came home, I used to help moderate the quizbowl tournament my high school team hosted. I think I aged 10 years in the five-second timeout as no one from two decent teams could answer what I scanned as a fairly easy Boris Yeltsin question.

Also, quizbowl historians, does the B1G retroactively claim rivalries with the University of Maryland?

Weirdly enough a quizbowl forum post was the best HS dissection of why you shouldn’t rely on wikipedia

Round 12, final. Boise takes the title, once again led by Grady, 425-255 over Merrol Hyde. Kudos to Carson, MH's solo player, for finishing 2nd without the benefit of teammates.

I’ve written an article for UK Quizbowl about getting into, and improving at, history in quiz! This should hopefully be useful for anyone wanting to learn a new category of the distribution, and maybe pick up new interests along the way.

Looking at actual school #quizbowl logos and they're all terrible.

Smart people, bad design.
