The tournament is a Wednesday-through-Tuesday, so it would not surprise me if it was set up in some sort of four-part 3-episode 3-episode 2-episode 2-episode fashion. Or that they will do something like spread two games worth of content over three games, filling the dead time with puff segments and...

The third major event is the Hot 100/IQA event. You know, I haven’t posted here in months, and yet I bothered to drop by to offer that little bit of info. It is reasonable to assume that I might know something more about these behind-the-scenes issues than you. It is also reasonable to assume someo...

If you are going to ever go, go this year. I sense the event is on shaky financial footing. I should say, its operator has even admitted that the financial situation is bad. There is a nonzero chance it folds before next year, or is sold to a larger corporate entity. In the latter case I suspect it ...

Austin 2 has faced 20 opponents. Among those 20 there's been 3 correct FJ answers.

Austin is an utter clown.

Hey! Play nice.

One reason they sell them is that it's their work and it's a lot of hard work to make a question set. Just a thought.

How about that Jakob Myers, who got 142 and just graduated high school? I always thought that Steve Perry (IMO the best quizzer this side of the pond) is the best bet to break the stranglehold of the Europeans. But looks like America now has a new star. After last years' event, I was telling Sven t...

I find posting once every six months to be pretty efficient

I've seen posts here about board members behind on watching and catching up. A trip, sickness, work schedule...I get how those things happen. 10 weeks worth of shows? There is no better preparation for doing well on the show than watching faithfully. It should be a habit and not a chore. This is an...

Is she in the TOC? I am too lazy to look. If so, I feel regardless of the category, the answer should be her name. In fact I would just tell first podium you're picking Cindys for $200 and be done with it. I don't think you can just do the empty podium - though given some of the champs this year it ...

I wouldn't expect a third party contestant to walk out, actually. Even if someone saw this and knew it was wrong one or two folks walking out wouldn't make a difference. OTOH, I think Jennings knew what was going down and he was uniquely positioned to say No and did not. If he walked then their plan...

- Mason wanted to come back - Mason was told he wasn't coming back two days before taping - Ken absolutely knew that Mason was disinvited the day before taping - Ken taped We can certainly speculate that Ken demanded guaranteed TV time; being the first up would have been the only way to gave guarant...

I bet Richard Mason enjoyed that.

But he would have enjoyed a chance to compete more.

This is High School Tourney level.

He's flabby and out of practice. Happens when you don't have to compete to get onto these affairs.

And to tie it all together, the first contestant is Jennings, who is replacing Richard Mason (which was news to Richard Mason).
