Quiz Bowl Roundup
This probably is, sadly, to be the last of the quiz bowl roundups (10th, 11th).
Quiz Busters:
3-1
We made it to the fourth round and lost.
Fall League:
Season: 7-0
Tournament: 3-0
1st Place
I got a personal trophy for highest individual score.
Winter League:
Season: 6-2
Tournament: 3-1
1st Place
I earned First Team All-Conference
High School Challenge:
2-1
We nearly forfeited that last game because I was sick in the bathroom. We lost by one question.
State Tournament:
First Day: 4-0
Second Day: 0-2
Total: 4-2
Class B 3rd Place
I got First Team All-State
National Tournament: May 23rd, 24th, & 25th.
This is the first time we’d gone to nationals.
First Day: 5-5 (We needed a record of 6-4 or better to advance to the second day. I single-handedly lost us the 5th game). On the bright side, half of them didn’t know what euchre was, and 80% of those surveyed didn’t know what Vernor’s was.
Second Day: Explore Chicago (made only slightly worse by the fact that Yarb Bung came with us.)
At the end of the first day, we were 92nd out of 176. East Lansing was 5th.
I personally was the 43rd highest individual scorer out of 990.
Will I do college Quiz Bowl? I don’t know.
