No, just responding to Choyon's question.

Check Facebook's TCONA page. There's a list of quiz bowl participants that you can find by following a link, I think.

the good
-J! simulator (not an official event but by far the best part of the experience)
-5x5 (but I heard that it won't be coming back this year)
-Learned League live
-quiz bowl
-knodgeball (but was retired in 2014 and isn't coming back, afaik)
-watching the LL championship

the not so good
-first quiz of TCONA (quality of the questions is not up to par with LL or WQC)
-pub quiz (again, question quality, though I think that both that were run were generally well received. I am just picky. Plus it takes place late at night, and we east coast people have a hard time with the time difference)
-the scavenger hunt (this was just a disaster. definitely not a good replacement for knodgeball)

I want to stress though that even with any issues that arise TCONA is still tons of fun, especially because of the company that you will be in. If you have the time and money then GO!
I have never been, but i am definitely excited to try this year, but im curious about the J! simulator and how its like the real game? Can anyone play? I would love to do that.

I don't know if J! Simulator will be available this year. If it is, yes, anyone can play.

If anyone is going to TCONA7, and hasn't already registered, I have won a free entry, but I'm already signed up. We can work something out where I get some value for this prize and you save a bit over the current registration price. Private message me if interested.

Also, for the JBoard denizens who are still on the fence about going this year--consider using my discount code, LQS17, for 10% off a weekend registration pass.

(And yes, Last Quizzer Standing is also back!)

Jumping in a bit late here - I'm going to be attending for the first time, and I'm also looking to join a Quiz Bowl team. If you have an open slot, please PM me. :D
