AACS Results

Initial AACS Pairings

Chat atyrrell at April 8, 2008, 10:05 am What are the latest stats/pairings? kcalloway at April 8, 2008, 10:33 am What time will the stats start updating? ET at April 8, 2008, 10:48 am So I was just wondering what was going on? They should be done with the first couple quizzes right? mcline at April 8, 2008, 11:01 am when do you post, they are in chapel by now. mcline at April 8, 2008, 11:02 am they must have done 3 rounds by now!!! Jennifer Tyrrell at April 8, 2008, 12:12 pm What's up lately? Brant at April 8, 2008, 12:12 pm Posting results now. atyrrell at April 8, 2008, 12:28 pm Thank you for alleviating our suspense! Jennifer Tyrrell at April 8, 2008, 12:29 pm Great! Brant at April 8, 2008, 12:43 pm Yeah, sorry for the delays this morning. We were short a blogger and had no internet access. We should be more up to date this afternoon. mcline at April 8, 2008, 12:59 pm Thanks, Brant. I guess we take for granted high tech stuff here in CO... Brant at April 8, 2008, 2:30 pm We've got David Poston in the Command Center. Any thoughts, David? david poston at April 8, 2008, 2:32 pm Alright you Colorado people. Quit bragging on this board! Seriously though, quizzing has been intense. When Texas gets eliminated as quickly as they did, you know it's some serious competition. Virginia making some noise. Wisconsin looking solid. Nebraska gave Florida a middle so guess I should mention them as well! atyrrell at April 8, 2008, 2:39 pm Thanks for the updates - the blogs are great too! R Coon at April 8, 2008, 2:53 pm Great Job Nebraska Quizzers! Keep up the great work! DANIEL at April 8, 2008, 3:25 pm when is the rest of the schedual going to be posted mcline at April 8, 2008, 3:35 pm Not boasting, just wish you could be closer to real time instead of 1-2 hours behind. Some of us couldn't travel this time. Oh, remember where the computer score sheet originated? Don't most quizzers and coaches love to come to CI? And don't we love to have you? Brant at April 8, 2008, 4:04 pm Some issues with the results spreadsheet. We are down to 4 teams. KY, FL, WI have no losses. IL has 1 loss. You can take a look at the blogs for more updates. I'll try to get something else up soon. mac at April 8, 2008, 4:05 pm David, Brant, we're now 2 1/2 hrs behind. Brant at April 8, 2008, 4:06 pm This just in. FL takes their first loss. There will probably only be one more quiz today. KY, FL, IL are quizzing. WI has the bye. Brant at April 8, 2008, 4:07 pm Apologies. I have to run off campus to get internet access and go back to get results. If you have any specific questions, you can ask me now before I go back. My last post is up to date. Mac at April 8, 2008, 4:14 pm sorry you have to do all that, they sure aren't set up for you there... mac at April 8, 2008, 4:17 pm can't get anything that resembles a recent post. atyrrell at April 8, 2008, 4:33 pm Here's the latest that I heard: three teams left - KY, WI and FL. FL is the only team left with a low. at April 8, 2008, 4:39 pm when will we have an updated spreadsheet? Brant at April 8, 2008, 5:10 pm atyrrell is correct. Three teams left for Thursda. We are done quizzing for the day. Matt West is meeting maybe me over here with the most up to date version of the spreadsheet. Hopefully, it will be 10 minutes or less. If anyone wants to know anything about the quizzing, let me know. Brant at April 8, 2008, 5:10 pm We'll be having live updates on Thursday like we always have. atyrrell at April 8, 2008, 5:15 pm Thanks for the blogs...they are great for filling us in on the details! Looking forward to Thursday! Brant at April 8, 2008, 5:29 pm Thanks. I guess I get all the dap for being the one posting on here, but we had David Poston, Jesse Startup, and Alex D'Amico blogging all day; Joanna Tyrrell and William Hales each did a couple rounds; and Matt West was doing most of the coordinating. Brant at April 8, 2008, 5:37 pm End of Tuesday spreadsheet is up. Jennifer Tyrrell at April 8, 2008, 5:45 pm What happened to the final updates? I understand it became very intense for some!!! :-) Thanks for all your efforts. Jennifer Tyrrell at April 8, 2008, 5:57 pm Thanks again to all bloggers. Just read last quizzes. See you all Thursday! Someone at April 8, 2008, 6:44 pm Thanks to David, Brant, Alex, William, and anyone else who had a hand in keeping these update blogs. KLC at April 10, 2008, 3:58 pm Are the updates starting at 3:30 eastern or central. atyrrell at April 10, 2008, 4:01 pm The quizzing was supposed to start at 3:30 EST - I sure hope the updates aren't too far behind. KLC at April 10, 2008, 4:09 pm I just received word from someone at the quiz that Florida was put out. KLC at April 10, 2008, 4:54 pm This just in, KY has won the tournament. atyrrell at April 10, 2008, 5:16 pm KLC - thanks for keeping us updated! Congrats to all who made it so far! atyrrell at April 11, 2008, 10:31 am Do you plan on posting the blogs/stats from yesterday's quizzes at all? Matt West at April 14, 2008, 12:09 pm Sorry that Thursdays information never made it up. We were doing it live, as we have the past several years, when Bob Jones blocked the site and did not allow us to put the information up. So, sadly, without recreating it, we will be offline forever. Next year, we will make sure that there is a contingency plan for getting information off campus, should Bob Jones still not allow their networks to look at BibleQuizzer.net. DM at April 14, 2008, 10:05 pm So, are you going to leave us in the dark and not say who won? Brant at April 14, 2008, 10:48 pm test David Poston at April 17, 2008, 9:42 am DM, KLC was right in the post above. Kentucky won. at April 20, 2008, 8:58 am at April 20, 2008, 8:59 am DM at April 22, 2008, 1:19 pm Thanks Poston. This is Marriott btw. Faithful at April 24, 2008, 9:02 am Faithful at April 24, 2008, 9:05 am so...will this site be up again someday for us ex quizzers to look at? :) at May 1, 2008, 4:41 pm at May 1, 2008, 4:42 pm Name: Post:

Georgia, I think, should consider themselves lucky if they don't lose this quiz. Q1: Georgia receives the Startup Special, i.e. foul for an improper jump and an error for not answering. Wisconsin also misses and SC gets the free. In the redo question, Georgia jumps way too soon and misses, and Wisconsin gets the tossup. Q2: Another early jump from Georgia finds them in the error zone after two questions. Wisconsin again gets the tossup. Wisconsin gets the next two, with an error from Georgia, but on Q5 Georgia gets them back on the plus side with their first right answer. Score after five questions: GA 10, WI 80, SC 10. Q6 and 7: Georgia gets one, then both SC and Georgia miss Q7 (with Georgia getting a foul) and Wisconsin picks up the free. Georgia and Wisconsin miss the redo, SC gets the free. SC misses the second redo, and WI gets the tossup. Oh, but Knapp misspoke and said the wrong chapter, so the question is tossed. Knapp said to get himself an error, so I think today I'll tally up his errors. OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 1 Georgia gets Q7 finally, then on Q8 Knapp reads the wrong question. OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 2 Georgia gets one, then Wisconsin knocks out two in a row. Score after 10 questions: GA 30, WI 150, SC 20. SC errors on Q11, and Georgia gets the tossup. Wisconsin nails the next one and Chair 3 for them quizzes out. Woot! Q13: SC errors again, putting them in the error zone. At least they used all their errors. Wisconsin gets the tossup and SC calls a time- out. They need some help, specifically, two correct answers or a Georgia screw-up. If anything, I predict the latter. Q14: Wisconsin jumps too early and gets the Startup Special, i.e. foul on the jump, then an error. SC misses the tossup and Georgia gets the free. SC is in trouble. On the redo, Georgia misses, setting up a SC run. But alas, Wisconsin gets it instead. Q15: SC errors to bring them to zero, and Wisconsin gets the tossup. Score after 15 questions: GA 50, WI 230, SC 0. Wisconsin gets another one. This is like running up the score ala New England Patriots. Georgia misses and runs out of time. Wisconsin gets the tossup and the next one. SC officially has lost. Georgia gets Q19, and Wisconsin gets Q20. Final Score: GA 80, WI 290, SC 0. Final thoughts: Wisconsin looked impressive, but getting 290 against teams who made 12 errors combined shouldn't be too hard. I predict a solid finish in the top 6-7 or seven for them. On the other hand, Georgia really surprised me after a truly terrible start. by Joanna Tyrrell NM - 200 VA - 110 NJ - 60 Question 9: VA: 60; NJ:20; NM :90 Errors made by the first two teams and NM ended up getting the free and the following question. Question 10 is gotten by VA and NM gets question 11. VA closes the gap by getting the following question and putting the score at 100-20- 140. VA gets an error and New Mexico has sealed up the high at question 16 with 200 points. NJ is putting up a fight to the finish with getting question 18 and 19. The quiz ends with VA: 110 NJ: 60 NM: 200 by Brant Callaway TX - 200 CO - 180 WV - 30 In a clean, low-error quiz, Texas and Colorado quickly engaged in a two team battle with neither team seeing larger than a 20 point lead until after question 15. By question 17, Texas was up by 60 points and looked like they would get the high. Colorado got the next 3 to tie but ran out of steam and lost on question 20. None of these teams quiz again until round 3. by Alex IN - 140 MO - 110 NC - 80 Well,this is a very slow quiz.After only five questions we have had 10 errors,6 on MO. Finally MO gets one right.Now they miss another quote to put them at -20. IN-70 NC-50 after six questions. NC got it wrong and IN got the tossup. Q8 saw MO get their 8th error and IN again gets the tossup.MO finnaly got one right to bring them to -10.IN made ane error and NC got it right to make the score MO-10 IN-110 NC-60 after ten questions. MO got out of the negative on Q11, but their closest competition got the next two. MO followed with a right answer, then NC made an error, with IN getting the tossup to make it MO-30 IN-130 NC 90 after Q15. NC jumps too fast on question 16, and after a long conference it is ruled wrong, with MO getting the tossup. NC challanges, but to no avail. IN jumps on Q17 and gets it wrong, with MO again getting the tossup.IN then makes another error on Q18, but then Pastor Scott changed his mind and ruled it correct. MO got Q19 to make it MO-90 In-140 NC-80. Q20 is a quote on which MO got up too fast, but got lucky to make the final MO-110 IN-140 NC-80. by Jesse Startup NE - 220 IL - 150 TN - 20 Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: IL wins big, and TN sweaks in with a middle. I don't think any of these teams will make a major dent in the tournament, but hey, what do I know. Knapp tells everyone that this tournament is better than the NCAA tournament because we are all winners and this is double elimination. Just FYI, he was pulling for Kansas. Meh, I had Memphis beating Tennessee in a rematch from the regular season. But I digress. Q1: NE gets one, then IL gets the second one. Q3: TN gets the Startup Special, and IL gets the tossup. Q4: IL misses and TN gets the rebound. We're all still pretty close. Q5: IL misses again and this time NE gets the tossup. Timout for NE. Um, why? Make sure your momentum is nullified I guess. Score after 5 questions: TN 20, IL 40, NE 40. Q6: NE gets another one. So I guess I was wrong then. Q7: NE misses, and IL beats up TN to get the tossup. Still much closer than I thought. Maybe I just underestimated NE. Q8: NE misses again with IL getting the tossup. NE makes a soft-spoken challenge but is overruled. I really wanted to hear what he said. NE gets the next two. Wow, this team is all over the place. Score after 10 questions: TN 20, IL 80, NE 100. Q11: IL ties the score with NE at 100 with a correct answer. Q12: IL misses and gets in the error zone as NE picks up the tossup. Another challenge, this time from IL, still overruled. Timeout for TN. Wow, this is not looking good for them. Fortunately though for TN, the other teams teams have a lot of errors. TN needs at least 4 of the last 8. Q13: IL gets it and that all but seals away TN. Q14: NE gets 14 and 15. I really dont know what to think about these guys. Score after 15 questions: TN 20, IL 120, NE 160. IL gets 16, NE gets 17 and 18. Who is this Nebraska team??? IL gets 19, misses 20, and NE gets the tossup. Final score: TN 20, IL 150, NE 220. Final thoughts: Nebraska I don't think is consistant enough to complete with the top 4 or 5 here, but a high win here pretty much assures at least a few more rounds of smooth sailing. I have yet to see any of the major contenders yet at least in my opinion. by David Poston AL - 120 NY - 230 KS - 40 The second round in Mr. Douglas Room will pit Alabama-New York-Kansas. This is Kansas' first trip to Nationals (if not first, first in quite a while). Have not seen them this year, but figure that they will be battling Alabama for the middle. New York, fresh off an impressive 2nd place finish at Scqanit yesterday, will likely run away with the high. FIRST 5 RECAP James from New York gets 2 of the first 5 questions. His teammate Christopher pitch in another 40 points and a couple of errors. Alabama got one of New York's misses and added a free 10 pt question 30-80-0 (al-ny-ks) Q. 6-10 RECAP New York enters the error zone on q. 7, but is holding a very comfortable lead. (Believe they have had every initial jump) Jillian, Emily, and James (all from NY) get 3 of these 5, but losing 20 points on errors has helped Alabama keep it close Alabama scores another free 10 pt question, and gets an impressive finish this verse question off a NY miss and another 20 off the other NY error 80-120-0 (al-ny-ks) Q.11-15 RECAP James (NY) gets #11 and Faith (NY) gets her second error on #12, Alabama gets their first error on the toss up. Kansas scores their first points of this AACS tournament with the 10 pt free question. James gets his 5th correct on #12 and quizzes out on #13 James may have been quite solid all day yesterday, but i specifically noticed him really excelling toward the end of the day. He had a lot to do with NY getting 2nd yesterday. On the other hand, I'm sure NY would like to get Faith going. I believe she'll be very important to their chances of winning this tournament. NY gets all 5 questions in this set with Grace coming off the bench to get 2. 80-210-10 Q.16-20 RECAP Kansas makes their first initial jump, but can't come up with an answer in 10 seconds. NY is apparently sitting to let the two teams hammer out the middle, but by Q 17 Bama has the middle sealed. Kansas gets 19 and 20 to close out well 120-230-40 by Brant Callaway KY - 220 MO - 110 NJ - 30 No surprises here. KY continued their winning ways of the week and the decade as they eased to an opening round win led by Aaron Wells and company. MO was able to gobble up enough questions to pick up the middle win. In something of a surprise, New Jersey is eliminated early with two early losses. by Alex D'Amico The three teams in this quiz are VA FL and CO.But before we start we have a new team with SC replacing CO. FL starts out jumping good by waiting 5 words on a direct reference question, but got a tough break as Pastor Scott said the wrong reference. FL gets the real question 1 right, as well as questions 2 and 3. David stood up too soon on a quote and VA got the tossup. Va also got question 5 to make the score 40-60-0. FL and SC both made errors on question 6, but Va misses the tossup.But it doesn't matter because Pastor Scott said James instead of Romans.SC stands up too soon and gives a chapter. Pastor Scott calls it wrong after 10 seconds, but Mr. Wood challanged that it wasn't enough time. SC then got the next two with VA getting an error on the second after 7 its 40-60-40.Kelsey stood up on question 8 and got it right.Casey from SC stood up on Q9 and got it wrong, with David from Fl getting it right.Casey then got the next question, then Kelsey got the next question, followed by David, then Kelsey agian after 13 40-140-60. Devin ruins it by getting it wrong, with Casey getting the tossup. Casey then got the next question to make it 40-160-100 after 15.Kelsey got up on "what reigned" and missed it, with Casey again getting the tossup. David then got a quote.VA then made an error, and David quizzed out on the tossup.Fl stands up again and gets it right on question 19 and 20 to make the final score 30-230-120. by Jesse Startup AL - 190 WV - 110 NM - 50 w/ Dr. Knapp Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: Wow, I'm surprised New Mexico made it this far. West Virginia usually does okay, Alabama is not that good from what I remember. WV gets the high win for sure, and Alabama gets the middle. Another useless prediction: To make second day, I will guess (seeing as I haven't seen any of them all day) that New York, Kentucky, Florida and Pennsylvania get there. Actually, I think they will all have a loss going into Thursday. Dr. Knapp asked how everyone is doing. Surprisingly, WV has the loss, AL with the middle and NM had the high. I think that's amazing. Not so amazingly, Knapp said that everyone picked Memphis over Kansas, except for him. Really though, Memphis could have won in 5 different occasions, and Kansas just hit a lucky shot and then generated a lot of momentum in OT. Q1: Error for NM, error for AL, free question goes to WV. AL gets the redo question. I have a feeling this is going to a long quiz between three teams who I don't really think have a shot at the top 7 or 8. Q2: NM misses again and WV gets the tossup. West Virginia has a brand new team apparently, but I'm thinking they just had a tough quiz to get a loss. Q3: NM misses to assure themselves that no free error will go wasted. WV also misses, as AL gets the free to tie with WV. AL then gets the redo question. Q4: Ugh, another error for WV, an error for AL, and NM gets the free to get on the board. Timeout for Alabama. Just to recap, and I've seen worse, but 7 errors and we're still on Question 4. I know it's Dr. Knapp and his questions are more difficult, but come on, a lot of these errors are due to foolish jumping. And I'm not talking about just this quiz. Anyway, WV errors again and AL gets the tossup. Q5: NM misses to bring them back to zero. Noone gets the tossup, so a new question is read, which AL gets. Score after 5 questions: WV 30, AL 90, NM 0. Q6: NM gets a question! This is the first question this quiz to not involve an error. Q7: NM gets another one. They're beating WV!!! Q8: NM and WV both miss, AL gets the free. WV pulls out a close answer on the redo. Q9: AL gets another one! Wow, no errors! Q10: Dr. Knapp reads the wrong question. OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 3 Q10: WV misses and AL gets the tossup. Score after 10 questions: WV 30, AL 140, NM 30. Q11-13: WV scores, then misses and AL gets it. NM gets 13. Q14: NM and WV errors to give AL the free. NM gets the redo question. WV calls a timeout. They will need to hope that NM continues to error, and that they can pick up two or three of the last 6. AL seems to want to run up the score though. Q15: NM gets it, putting WV down 50. Score after 15 questions: WV 30, AL 170, NM 80 Q16: Error for NM, and AL beats up WV for the tossup. As a guaranteed high-winner, you want the worse team to advance, so AL should have sat. Q17: Another error for NM, and again AL beats WV for the tossup. Should AL have sat, WV would be beating NM. Oh, but it's irrevelant, as NM gets a challenge to go their way. WV is down 40, with 80 points left. NM gets an error, and now nobody jumps on a direct reference question. Hmph. WV pulls out a quote on the redo question for 20. They are down 10. Q18: Another WV answer puts them ahead of NM by 10. Q19: NM errors, as I thought, and WV gets the tossup. Q20: Wow, another correct win for WV gets the middle. Final Score: WV 110, AL 190, NM 50. Final thoughts: The way West Virginia casually saved themselves from elimination was rather cool; they didn't seem pressured, just had fun and pulled out the last 4, while they only needed 2. I think they could upset a middling team, but I don't think they or Alabama will stand much of a chance against one of the big 4 I talked about earlier. by David Poston GA - 150 NC - 130 TX - 110 This Third round matchup in Mr. Douglas Room pits NC vs TX vs GA Tx beat Colorado (middle win) and WV (1st loss) in their first quiz today GA got a Middle win against WI (HIGH) and SC (1st loss) NC suffered their first loss to IN and MO FIRST 5 RECAP Texas gets #1 and #2 (Luis gets #2 and errors on #4) Nathan (NC) gets #3 and #4, plus NC adds 10 points on a free Athens has yet to get on the board and picks up their second error on #5, Luis gets the rebound for Tx 50-60-0 (NC-Tx-GA) Q.6-10 RECAP Caleb puts GA on the board on #6 and gets his second on #7, make that his 3rd correct in a row on #8. Rachel keeps GA rolling with their 4th in a row on Q. #9. Luis nail #10 for Texas Great quiz so far. Not too many errors 50-80-80 (NC-Tx-Ga) Q.11-15 RECAP Caleb has really taken over the quiz and gets his 4th correct on #11 for GA. Rachel (GA) gets #12. Athens has taken 6 of the last 7 questions thanks to Caleb (4) and Rachel (2). Nathan (NC) beats everyone up and keeps NC in the quiz. Caleb finally misses on #14 and Tx grabs the rebound GA picks up #15 70-100-140 (NC-TX-GA) Q.16-20 RECAP Really good quiz so far. NC is very much still alive in this quiz. It will be interesting to see how Athens handles this situation. They should sit as they are guaranteed at least a middle. Andrew up first for NC. Big question here. He gets it on the 29th second. Nathan up for NC on #17, but misses and GA claims the rebound. It looks as though GA will get the high (though Tx could tie if they answer the last 3 correctly) Texas misses (assuring GA the high if they sit), but GA jumps quickly on the rebound and loses 10 points for their error. NC gets the free question On #18, Anna (NC) jumps on the initial and gives Temple North Carolina a 20 point lead over Texas for the middle. After 18, 110-90-150 (NC-TX-GA) On 19, Andrew makes great jump and seals at least a middle win for NC. FInal 130-110-150 by Brant Callaway IL - 260 IN - 100 KS - 30 So I saw that Startup was making predictions on his quizzes so I'll contribute mine here: IL wins fairly easily, followed by IN, and KS takes the low. Q2: IN looks impressive already getting the first two questions. Q5: KS is lagging behind, but neither of the other two tems look as good as CO or TX who I saw earlier. Q13: The tide has turned completely. This is no longer a 2-team race, IL-160, IN-80, KS-20. Does KS have a comeback like last night? I think they are a first year team, but they are not just sitting there. I don't expect them to come back, but it's not outside the realm of possiblity. Q20: The last half of this quiz was completely dominated by IL though I'm not sure if I would call them a contender. IN was only OK, but their supporters around the room seemed a little disappointed by their performance, so maybe this is just an aberration. by Alex D'Amico the three teams in this quiz are TN,WI and CO. WI jumps and gets it wrong, with CO getting the tossup.CO made an error on question 2, with Wi getting the tossup. CO made an error on Q3, and WI then made an error. TN got the free question. CO then stood up on question 4 and got it right. CO again stands up and this time makes an error with WI getting the tossup.WI then made an error with TN answering the tossup.after 6 it is 30-40-60, with WI and CO in the error zone.CO then made an error with WI getting the tossup.WI then made an error,with CO getting the tossup. CO then made an error and Wi got the tossup. timeout Co.I think that CO and WI both need to slow down.Co has 5 errors, and WI has 4 going into question 10. 30-70-60. TN stood up and made an error, but the question was thrown out. WI got an error,and CO got the tossup. Then Jason from CO stood up and got it right.CO then got a quote incorrect, and WI got the tossup.CO stood up but the question was thrown out.CO again stood up, but this time got it right. It was challenged and the question was thrown out.30-80-90 after 12.Wi then stands up and gets it wrong, with TN getting it right. Jason then got a finish.TN got it wrong, and CO got it wrong AGAIN.WI got the free.WI then got q15 to make it 50-100-100.Jason then stands up on question 16 and gets a "finish these 2 verses" question wrong.WI got the tossup.WI then got another question and the score was 50-140-90.CO then got q18 right, and 19 as well.50-140-130 going into question 20. Co got up first and did not get an answer off.TN got the tossup, and the final score was 70-140-120. by David Poston NY - 170 NM - 120 GA - 90 New Mexico has one loss. GA and NY have none. FIRST 5 RECAP James (NY) kicks it off with 20 points. Caleb (GA) fails to answer #2, and James (NY) gets his second on the tossup. Daniel puts GA on the board with his initial jump on #3 New Mexico grabs #4 and 5. It looked at first that NM would be left behind, but they're proving they want to stick around 40-40-20 (NM-NY-GA) Q. 6-10 RECAP NY gets #6 and NM gets #7. Ga trailing both by 40 now. NM misses #8, and Rachel (GA) grabs the rebound. James gets #9 for NY Faith (NY) misses #10, and NM gets the rebound 80-80-40 (NM-NY-GA) Q. 11-15 RECAP Faith (NY) gets on the board and gives NY a 20 pt lead for the high. James back up for NY on #12, but misses. Caleb (GA) gets the rebound Caleb (GA) only gets the chapter (romans 10) on a Quote This Verse question, guesses 13, but is incorrect. Faith gets the rebound for NY. NM misses #14, and Rachel gets a must needed 20 points for GA Timeout NY Score now 80-120-80 after 14. Very tight quiz. No team has lost points for errors yet. Any team could still finish in any place. On Q. 15, Rachel Jumps on reference (rom 16:20) for GA, and misses James jumps quickly on the rebound and misses as well for NY NM gets the free 10 points. (90-120-80, NM-NY-GA) still on Q 15 Georgia takes a timeout. Caleb up quickly on a Finish This Verse question for GA, but runs out of time.(GA loses 10 points for error) NY misses the rebound, and NM gets ANOTHER free 10 points. Still on question 15. James finally gets 15 100-130-70 (NM-NY-GA) Q. 16-20 RECAP James nails a quote on #16 and quizzes out. Timeout NY Georgia trails by 30 for the middle and New Mexico trails by 50 for the high. All errors now minus 10 pts. Caleb (GA) up first on another Finish the Verse question and misses, Chris gets the rebound for NY GA down 40 for the middle now with 3 questions left Caleb up first again for GA and misses, NM gets it and the quiz is over. NY will get the high. NM gets the Middle. Athens with their first loss. by Jesse Startup NE - 220 SC - 120 AL - 50 Quiz 14 w/David Douglas SC vs NE vs AL This Douglas report is a Startup Special #2! Poston wanted to switch places with me so he could see his team. Unfortunately for me, I missed out on seeing NY for the first time. But hey, lucky me, I get to see three teams that I've already seen before. Hurray. Prediction: NE wins, AL gets second, and SC goes home. Q1: SC gets up too quick and misses, as does AL. This proves it; for some reason teams at AACS get a lot more errors. And I don't necessarily blame the questions. And I don't blame Knapp's style of quizmastering. I am almost tempted to blame the coaches for psyching their team out about how hard Nationals is. Quizzers can adjust just fine, give them a couple questions and they'll get it. NE gets the free and the redo question BTW. Q2-4: SC proves they're here for a reason by getting the next three. Q5: NE gets 20 to bring themselves withing 10 on SC. Score after 5 questions: SC 60, NE 50, AL 0. SC gets one, NE gets two and pulls ahead of SC. Q9: NE misses one and AL finally gets 20 to put them on the board. Q10: Error by AL. NE gets the tossup. Score after 10 questions: SC 80, NE 110, AL 20 Last quiz AL got the high win, and they weren't playing great teams then. Now, it's not like these teams are that much better, but AL has just shut down. SC, on the other hand, who got zero points their first quiz, have really stepped it up. Q11: Error on SC, their second, NE with the tossup. Q12: NE gets a quote that I actually know! Q13-14: 20 for NE, 20 for AL and now AL is training SC by 40. Q15: NE gets 20 more as we go to timeout and the error zone. Score after 15 questions: SC 80, NE 190, AL 40. South Carolina has not scored since question 6. Q16: SC attempts a quote and gets in right to give them 100 and a 60 point lead over AL. Alabama will need 3 of the next 4 to tie with SC. Q17: Error for NE, and a correct answer by SC secures their middle. AL, by the way, has only been up first 3 of the 17 questions. Q18: NE's chair 4 gets it and quizzes out. Q19-20: AL gets one and misses one, leaving NE to get the tossup. Final score: SC 120, NE 220, AL 50. Alabama losing did not surprise me at all, and I think SC earned their middle by building a lead then leading NE, a far superior team, take the rest of the questions away from AL. If Nebraska had been a worser team, I think SC could've lost. by Brant Callaway VA - 170 IN - 90 TX - 80 There are no seats available so I'm Blogging from the window this quiz. Prediction: TX - H, VA - M, IN - L in the "Good but Less- Traditional Powers Quiz." Q10: VA out to the early lead and looking good: VA - 100, TX - 60, IN - 40. I'm not sure of his name at this point but quizzer #4 for VA seems to consistently be up long before anyone else. Q15: VA - 170, TX - 100, IN - 40. VA opening it up and still looking good. TX looks like they could give them a run. If IN has jumped in the last 5 questions I don't remember it. Q16: TX error and VA correct locks up the quiz for VA. Q17: Nevermind on that last comment. VA jumps and errors...OK, they are fine again - TX errors as well. Q18: A string of TX errors has made this a quiz again. It finally looks like VA has decided to stop trying to match them error for error. Q19: It looks like it will come down to the last question. A string of TX errors and IN rebounds has left the score VA - 170, TX - 80, IN - 70. Q20: Something interesting going on inside...wish I could hear. Points have been given to IN and a challenge has taken them off the board. They're asking another question. IN gets the next question too. They survive and advance. TX whom I saw in the first quiz of the day and looked good has been eliminated. IN may be soon to follow. VA already has a low as well, but if they continue to quiz similarly, could be around for a while. by Alex D'Amico the three teams in the quiz are FL MO and WV.David starts it off good for Fl by getting a quote.Kelsey got question 2, David got question 3, but missed a finish on question 4, with MO getting the tossup.MO also got question 5 to make it 40-60-0. MO got question 6, but David got questions 7 and 8. Kelsey then made an error on 9 and WV got the tossup. David again on questions 10 and 11 making him now unqualified to quiz. The next question was a quote and without David MO and FL missesd it . WV got the free, and then got the next question to make it 60-140-50. Fl then jumped again and got it wrong on question q13, and MO got the tossup. MO up on question 14, but got it wrong, with Kelsey getting it right. MO again and again was wrong.WV missed the tossup, so now FL will get their only free question of the tournament. Kelsey made an error on 15, but MO missed it too.WV missed the free to make it 70-150-50 after 14. MO got the next question. Wv missed the next one and MO got the tossup. Kelsey then got 17,18,and 19. on question 20 Wv missed it and MO got it to make the final score 130-210-30 by Jesse Startup KY - 170 IL - 130 AL - 50 Quiz 17 w/Dr. Knapp: AL vs KY vs IL I'm finally back in Dr. Knapp's room which is cool. Also cool: Kentucky is here. This'll be the first time I've seen them all year. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: If Kentucky does not get over 200 points in this quiz, then they should consider it a loss. I think Alabama will be eliminated in this quiz. Dr. Knapp says that Alabama needs to beat up on one of these teams. I'll tell you which one not to beat up on! Q1: IL misses and AL gets the tossup. Oh Nos KY is losing! Q2: Quote these 2 verses: Quoted by Kentucky, 20 points to Kentucky. Q3: Finish this verse: Quoted by Kentucky, 20 points to Kentucky. Q4: Kentucky gets an error. All of these, by the way, have been from Aaron, so I'm not sure how well they'll do in a two-team quiz against, say, Florida or New York. IL gets the tossup and the next one. Score after 5 questions: AL 20, KY 40, IL 40. Q6: Another error for KY. Hmm. IL misses as well, giving AL the free. Kentucky jumps and errors again on the redo, putting them in the error zone. IL gets the tossup. Q7: Autumn(!) from Kentucky gets 20. IL challenges but to no avail. Q8: Kentucky gets another quote. Q9: Error on IL, error on AL, free for KY, and a timeout is called. Kentucky had a shaky start but has rebounded nicely. I do think that Kentucky is the favorite to win the whole thing, but if they go into Thursday with a loss (which I think they will), then I believe a New York or a Florida could beat them once in a two-team quiz. Kentucky gets a pair of fouls to cost them 10. They also error, as does IL, but AL misses the free. Kentucky errors again (wow) and AL gets the rebound. IL gets Q10. Score after 10 questions: AL 50, KY 60, IL 70. It should not be this close. Q11-12: Two correct for IL. Easy questions to get, but no one else was jumping. Q13: Error again for Kentucky ties them with AL for the low. Noone gets the tossup, so KY gets the redo and the next question to pull again 40. Q15: KY gets a quote to pull away from AL. Score after 15 questions: AL 50, KY 110, IL 110. Q16: AL errors and KY gets the tossup. KY gets 17 as well, as Aaron quizzes out. They have 150. IL now is in danger of the loss. Q18: Never mind, IL gets 20. Q19: Error by IL, KY gets the tossup. Q20: IL gets a quote to end the round. Final score: AL 50, KY 170, IL 130. Alabama is eliminated. Final thoughts: Like I said, if KY got less than 200, they should consider it a loss. Well, a late flurry helped them out, but they looked considerally less dominant than they have in the past, and the team is basically the same as before. If that quiz was against Florida and, say, Nebraska, I don't think Kentucky would've won. As far as IL, they will middle their way through every quiz until only good teams are left. Right now, they're okay, but in 3 or 4 rounds it will be difficult for them to stay in. blog. by Brant Callaway WI - 170 IN - 140 NM - 40 The Window Blogger is back. I got here late. Prediction: WI - H, NM - M, IN - L. Apologies for continuing to pick against you IN :-). Q12: Score: WI - 180, IN - 40, NM - 20. Q15: Apparantly I'm bad luck for WI. I haven't seen them quiz today and they've been going the wrong way since I've been here. Score: WI - 150, IN - 60, NM - 70. Q16: NM Error. IN Correct. I think WI has been burned and is no longer jumping. Q17: NM Error. IN Correct. WI - 150, IN - 100, NM - 50. Q18: NM Error. IN Correct. Looks like we're seeing a trend here. WI - 150 , IN - 120, NM - 40. Quiz is over. Final Score: WI - 170, IN - 140, NM - 40. by Alex D'Amico The three teams in this quiz are NC FL and CO.Jason got things started with a finish for CO. CO stood up again on 2 and got NC it wrong, but NC got it wrong too, meaning that FL did get another free question.NC stood too soon and got it wrong,and Josh from FL and got it right. It was challenged by both sides, and the question was thrown out.Co stood up again and got it right.On q3, CO stood up again and got it right again. ON q4 CO stood up again but got it wrong, with Kelsey getting the tossup, after being challanged. Kelsey missed question 5, and NC missed it too, giving Co the free. After 4 it is 0-30-70. Jason stood up on a finish but misspoke.David got the tossup. Kelsey stood up too soon and got it wrong, with CO getting the tossup.NC got q7. 20-50-90.CO is quizzing very fast and getting lucky. They got q8, but missed q9.Deven from FL got the tossup.Jason missed another finish, and Kelsey got the tossup. Time out NC. 20-90-90 after 10 questions.NC got q11. Kelsey missed q12 and so did NC, with CO getting the free. Jason stood up on another finish, but this time got it right. David stood up using his third error and got it wrong. NC got the tossup wrong too, and CO got another free.Jason got questions 13 and 14, and they got 15 too.CO and NC both missed q16 and FL got the free. 20-90-180 after 15.Kelsey got q16 and 17, David stood up on q18 and got it wrong, but no one got the tossup. David got the new q18.Nc got lucky on q19 and Kelsey got q20 for the final score of 20-160-180. By Jesse Startup NE - 180 FL - 160 IN - 40 Quiz 21 w/Dr. Knapp: IN vs FL vs NE It is at this point in the competition where the tournament starts to get exciting. I'm super excited, as I haven't seen Florida or Indiana all day. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: Florida gets a high, Nebraska gets the middle. I'm not sure if any of them have a loss yet. Q1: NE error, FL gets the tossup. Q2: NE error, FL gets the tossup Q3: FL gets it correct. Great start for Florida, usually after lunch teams are sluggish but FL doesn't seem to be affected. Q4: Startup Special (i.e. Foul and Error) for FL, NE gets the tossup. Q5: Another FL score. Score after 5 questions: IN 0, FL 80, NE 20. Indiana has yet to wake up; I don't blame them though; its tough to quiz in the afternoon, right after lunch and chapel, and, you know, having to get here at 8 in the morning. Nebraska also seems to be struggling. Q6: Another Florida error, NE gets the tossup. Time out is called by I believe Indiana. Q7: Yet another error for FL, this time on a quote. This quiz time is very difficult. Noone else gets the tossup, but NE gets the redo question. Q8: Florida score takes them to 100. Indiana hasn't looked like they've even been jumping. Q9: Florida gets a quote. Q10: FL error deducts 10 from their score, NE gets the tossup. Score after 10 questions: IN 0, FL 100, NE 80. Q11: FL jumps way too early and gets the Startup Special, Indiana jumps(!) and misses, with NE getting the free. IN jumps again and misses, with FL missing again and again NE gets the free. FL finally gets the next question. Q12: NE gets it and brings them to 120 Q13: FL gets one and pretty much secures at least a middle. Q14: IN gets one! Q15: IN gets the tossup after yet another FL error. Q16: NE brings their score to 140. Q17-20: FL gets one, then misses, allowing NE to get the score, then FL scores again twice. Not quite final score: IN 40, FL 160, NE 160. Tiebreaker: Knapp explains the rules of two-team quizzing, and NE gets the question. Final score: . Final thoughts: This went real fast at the end, too fast actually for me, thus my commentary was lacking. Indiana, BTW, hadn't lost yet, so they aren't out yet. This is the second middle win for FL, a team that had a great start but could not shake NE. Lots of errors everywhere, and I think we can chalk this quiz up to the sluggishness of the "After Lunch" quiz. Also, NE really looked good in here and I do change my mind about them. Nebraska should be able to upset at least one team in this tournament, at least giving one team, like Florida, a loss going into Thursday. IN 40, FL 160, NE 160 by David Poston KY - 200 SC - 100 MO - 70 Quiz 22 in Mr. Douglas room pits Missouri vs Kentucky vs South Carolina. 11 teams are remaining. 9 teams have no losses. SC only team in here with a loss. FIRST 5 RECAP SC up first and misses. Autumn (KY) gets the rebound Autumn up first on #2 and misses. Missouri misses the tossup. Missouri challenges,but is overruled. SC misses the free question. Wow, not good. Aaron (KY) up first on a good jump and gets the finish this verse question Randy (KY) misses #3, and SC gets the rebound. Will (KY) misses #4 (Kentucky now in the error zone), Sc gets the rebound Aaron (KY) jumps well on a quote question and gets it 0-60-40 (MO-KY-SC) Q.6-10 RECAP Missouri up first on #6, trying to get on the board, and misses (2nd error). Autumn up on rebound, and gets it. Missouri timeout. Will (KY) misses #7 and Missouri finally gets on the board. Missouri gets their third team error on #8 and SC misses the rebound. (Has been 9 combined errors already). KY gets 10 free points Aaron (KY) up on a great jump and quotes the verse correctly! Aaron back up on #9 and gets it (his 4th correct). Missouri girl's light accidentally comes on and she doens't know the answer. Error. Aaron gets the rebound for his 5th 10-140-40 (mo-ky-sc) Kentucky starting to pull away with the high Q.11-20 RECAP Aaron up first again, trying to quiz out, and HE DOES! SC trying to hold on to the middle and not be eliminated. Casey (SC) up and she gives them a 50 point lead for the middle! Missouri girl up first on #13...and gets it! (MO down 30 now for the middle) MO up first on quote question and gets Rom 10:13! (MO down 10) Casey (SC) is up first and gets 20 points back (SC leads for the middle by 30) MO up first and gets it. (cut the lead to 10) SC up first and gets it (leading by 30 again) Missouri up first on #18 and misses (down by 40 now), SC will win if they get the rebound. Autumn up for KY and gets it 60-180-100 after 18 questions. Missouri will need 19 and 20 to tie for the middle. Missouri quizzer #5 up first on 19 and runs out of time. SC will get the middle win. This will be the first loss for MO 70-200-100 final score By Alex D'Amico IL - 160 CO - 120 NY - 90 Quiz 23 IL, NY, CO The three teams in this quiz are IL,NY and CO.IL starts things off with a correct answer. Jillian from NY answers with a correct answer of her own.Q3 sees Phil from Co get an error, with James getting the tossup for NY.James then took Q4 by quoting 3 verses flawlessly. CO got Q5 to make it 20-50-20.Jason from Co then got an error, and James did too, leaving IL with the free question, which they answered.CO again made another error,this time because they jumped too soon, and IL got the tossup. CO got "what is the gift in Romans 6?" then also got Q8. Ny then jumped too soon and made an error,but Co made another error on the tossup to give IL the free question . Then James got the next question,followed by a correct quote by Jason. Then IL and Co traded questions, followed by another question by Jason. the score after 13 is 80-70-110. IL then got one right, Followed by James for NY. IL then stood on a direct reference and got it right. James then made an error, with CO getting the tossup.James is up again and IL got the tossup. then Co made an error, and James got the correct answer. q20 saw IL get the right answer to make the final score 160-90-120 IL 160, NY 90, CO 120 by Jesse Startup KY - 220 VA - 100 CO - 50 Quiz 21 w/Dr. Knapp: Another pretty awesome quiz as you have three contenders, with VA having one loss. Initially this quiz was going to be NY vs KY vs VA, but there was a scheduling error. You know what that means: OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 4 Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: KY should get the high win here, and if I had to choose, I guess I would have VA going over CO here. No real basis for that though as I have yet to see Virginia or Colorado all day. Also, this quiz, like the one before it, is tougher because it's the afternoon, people are getting tired, they had a long break, and it's hard to focus. I expect more frequent errors because of this. KY has all high wins, because they are UBER. We are in the final 11. The only real surprise is South Carolina making it, so props to them. Q1: CO with an easy reference question. Q2: KY gets a foul but gets the answer right. Noone was giving Aaron props, so Dr. Knapp encouraged an applause. Q3: VA misses with KY getting the rebound. Q4: KY gets a quote. This reminds me right now of the dominant Kentucky we all know. Q5: Another KY answer. Yawn. Score after 5 questions: VA 0, KY 80, CO 20. This is really a fight for the middle, and was since better the quiz started. Q6: CO error, so VA got the tossup to tie. Q7: Another CO error, along with a KY error, to give VA a free and a 10 point lead on CO. Timeout is called by CO. It seems to me that KY seems content with just securing the high and then letting the other two teams battle it out. As I think they are both on the same caliber (which is, good enough to be still in the tournament, but soon will be gone), KY could not and should not care. Time-in, and CO misses the redo question, and then KY errors, so another VA free for 10. KY has sort of slowed down, which is when they struggle. KY finally gets the second redo after a foul. CO, of course, is in the error zone. Q8: Finally, finally, CO gets a question since Q1. Q9: CO nails a very long quote. Q10: KY gets a quote. Score after 10 questions: VA 40, KY 120, CO 50. Still a two-horse race for second place. Q11: CO errors to bring themselves down to VA. VA errors as well, but Dr. Knapp said he didn't even have a legitimate question, so it's thrown out. So no error for VA, but also: OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 5 Q11: Aaron from KY quizzes out and secures the middle. That is, unless they error. Q12: CO errors to bring themselves down to VA. Legitimately. VA gets the tossup and leads CO by 40 as they call timeout. You know, with so many free questions, I'm not quite sure KY can sit just yet. Q13: VA errors, and CO gets the tossup to tie VA 60-60. Q14: CO corrected said that Jesus died. Q15: Error for CO, and KY gets it right to definitely secure the middle. Score after 15 questions: VA 60, KY 160, CO 70. Q16: Again CO jumps and misses, while KY gets the tossup. 60-60 CO VA. Q17: VA pulls out a huge correct answer to get the lead of CO. Q18: CO again errors, and VA jumps and gets the quote to secure their middle. KY has the high. This is over. Q19: Two KY correct answers to end the quiz. Final score: VA 100, KY 220, CO 50. Final thoughts: Virginia is only slightly better than Colorado, and that's because they didn't panic and just jumped when they knew the answer, as opposed to jumping because you need to get some points. Mentally, the more pressured you are to get a question right, the more likely you'll get it wrong. Oh and by the way, Kentucky looks way better this time around. by David Poston FL - 200 SC - 70 IL - 40 Quiz 25 in Mr. Douglas room pits SC (who avoided elimination in this same room last round) vs FL vs IL SC will be in the same position again. The only team in the room with a loss. FIRST 5 RECAP Illinois up quickly and gets the first error of the quiz, Casey (SC) up too quickly on the rebound and misses as well. Florida gets 10 #1 again- David (FL) with a nice jump on quote question and nails it! Kelsey up first for Florida on #2 and misses. Casey (SC) up on the rebound quickly and gets it! Illinois up quickly and misses. Kelsey gets the rebound for Florida. Illinois up for their second challenge of the day. Challenge accepted and question is thrown out. Error against Illinois is taken away and Kelsey's point for Florida are erased. David (FL) up nicely on a quote question and gets his second quote of the quiz! Illinois up first and gets #4 David (Fl) on a very hard question...and misses. Casey (SC) up on the rebound and gets it. 40-50-20 (SC-FL-IL) Q. 6-10 RECAP Mr. Austin up first for Florida and misses, Illinois gets the rebound. Casey (SC) up first on #7 and gets her third correct (only quizzer to score for SC so far) (She is by far the leader of SC) Illinois up ultra early on #8 and somehow GETS IT!! Illinois up again on #9 and misses this one. David up on the rebound (yet another quote for David) and he gets his third correct for FL. Casey up first on #10 and runs out of time.

Illinois up first an dgets a 20 point lead. Kelsey (FL) up first on #15 and gets it. 60-170-80 (SC-FL-IL) Q.16-20 RECAP David (FL) gets up on #16 and quizzes out! Mr. Austin back up for Fl and gets it. Illinois misses #18 and Devin gets it for Florida 60-230-70 Illinois up 10 on Sc for the middle entering #19 Illinois up quickly on #19 and misses. SC up on the rebound and misses as well. Both teams lose 10 and the lead for IL remains 10 over SC After Fl misses an easy free question, #19 is asked again Florida up quickly on #19 and misses. Casey (SC) gets the rebound and SC is up 10 going into #20 What a big question this will be. If IL gets it, they will win. Illinois up first on a quote verse. May not have heard the entire passage and she misses it. After FL misses rebound, SC misses and all important free question, giving IL new life. Another #20, Illinois back up again. Same girl misses again and Florida gets the rebound 70-230-40 (SC-FL-IL) Illinois first loss by Alex D'Amico NY - 160 WI - 100 MO - 60 the three teams in this quiz are MO, WI and NY.James started things off with a quote. MO then made an error, and WI made an error as well to give NY the free question.Dopher then got it right for Ny, followed by a correct answer by Wi. Wi stood again , but this time made an error; MO also made an error, and it gave NY another free question.Jillian then stood up and made an error with MO getting the tossup wrong. After the free question by Wi, James then got a finish, and dopher got it too to make the score 0-30-100 after 5 questions. Faith then got q6,and after a Wi error, NY got the tossup wrong too to give MO theot the free. free.Wi then made another error, and MO got the tossup.James then missed a finish, and after MO missed it as well, Wi got the free. Then Ny and Mo missed a question but MO challenged and got it right. Wi then got a quote right, and after James missed the following question, Wi got the tossup. The score after q 10 is 40-70-100. After a timeout, Wi got a very difficult question. However, they followed it with an error, which MO got.Another error by Wi, but Topher got the tossup for NY. Then James made an error, followed by a Wi error. Mo answered the free incorrectly.James then missed another quote which was answered by MO. after 14questions the score is 80-60-100. Then MO stood and made an error, with the tossup being answered incorrectly by Wi. NY got the free.after a timeout, Wi got one actually right on the first try. Then Mo got q16, James got q17, and Wi misspoke to give them an error to give them a chance. But Mo missed it too to give NY the free. Wi then got q18 to make the score 80-80-140. But then MO made an error followed by a wi correct answer. MO got another error and NY got the tossup. So in a quiz with 24 errors, the final score was 60-100-160. by Jesse Startup CO - 170 SC - 110 NE - 70 Quiz 27 w/Dr. Knapp: SC vs NE vs CO Wow, South Carolina came pretty far since losing their first quiz. Top 10 or whatever we are at now is pretty good for them. Nebraska is the only team without a loss. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: Sure, I could pick against South Carolina and be fashionable, but I'm willing to say that Colorado could definitely lose this quiz. Q1-2: Two easy answers for NE Q3: CO beats NE up and gets the 20. Q4: SC counters with 20 of their own. Q5: First error of the quiz comes from NE at a quote of all places. CO gets the tossup. Score after 5 questions: SC 20, NE 40, CO 40. Q6: NE gets up too early and misses. They cannot afford to do that against the likes of New York and Kentucky and Florida. CO also misses, and SC gets the free. On the redo, SC misses, and this time CO gets the 20. Q7: Direct reference question missed by SC, NE gets the tossup. SC proposes a challenge, as I notice I am becoming very stuffed up. I think I'm allergic to Bob Jones. Either that or Bible Quizzing. The challenge is overruled. Q8: NE gets one more to go up to 80. Q9: SC errors again, putting them in the error zone, NE and CO compete over the tossup, with both teams taking errors and CO finally getting it right. Time-out for SC. They are going to need either CO or NE to implode because I don't think they can outscore them. Q10: NE misses, as SC gets a key question. They are within 20. Score after 10 questions: SC 50, NE 80, CO 70. Q11: Another premature jump by NE. That will be the end of them in this tournament if they don't get it in check. CO gets the rebound. Q12: CO misses a quote, as does SC. The difference is that CO is not in the error zone, so now they're up by 50. NE misses the free. CO gets the redo. Timeout by NE, and all of a sudden CO has pulled away and NE has their errors catching up to them. SC is only 30 behind NE. Q13: Yet another NE error, a CO error, and SC misses the free. Wow. We are in the latter half of the tournament, and yet still, all these errors. SC misses the redo, and CO gets the tossup. SC is still 30 behind NE. Q14: SC gets a huge question, now down 10. NE has shut down. Q15: CO gets 20 to secure the middle. Score after 15 questions: SC 50, NE 60, CO 150. Q16: NE pulls out a huge question to distance themselves from SC. Q17: CO gets the question, SC needs two out of the next three. Q18: SC gets a big question, is challenged by NE, but overruled. Q19: SC gets an easy question and now leads NE by 10. Q20: NE jumps on a huge quote and misses, SC jumps (despite the coaches telling her to sit) and get it. Final score: SC 110, NE 70, CO 170. Final thoughts: Quite the nailbiter that one was, and the quiz really exposed Nebraska's weaknesses. South Carolina is proving to be the team that will not go down without a fight, and Colorado, who looked terrible last quiz, rebounded very well. Frankly though, I do not think that teams are generally as good as they were. Lots and lots of errors, and lots and lots of foolish mistakes, things the coaches should address. That's why they're there. by William Hales KY - 240 NY - 110 IN - 10 Quiz 28 w/David Douglas Kentucky vs New York vs Indiana Kentucky with no middle or lows and New York and Indiana both having one loss.

MO then made an error, and WI made an error as well to give NY the free question.Dopher then got it right for Ny, followed by a correct answer by Wi. Wi stood again , but this time made an error; MO also made an error, and it gave NY another free question.Jillian then stood up and made an error with MO getting the tossup wrong. After the free question by Wi, James then got a finish, and dopher got it too to make the score 0-30-100 after 5 questions. Faith then got q6,and after a Wi error, NY got the tossup wrong too to give MO theot the free. free.Wi then made another error, and MO got the tossup.James then missed a finish, and after MO missed it as well, Wi got the free.

After a timeout, Wi got a very difficult question. However, they followed it with an error, which MO got.Another error by Wi, but Topher got the tossup for NY. Then James made an error, followed by a Wi error. Mo answered the free incorrectly.James then missed another quote which was answered by MO. after 14questions the score is 80-60-100. Then MO stood and made an error, with the tossup being answered incorrectly by Wi. NY got the free.after a timeout, Wi got one actually right on the first try. Then Mo got q16, James got q17, and Wi misspoke to give them an error to give them a chance. But Mo missed it too to give NY the free. Wi then got q18 to make the score 80-80-140. But then MO made an error followed by a wi correct answer. MO got another error and NY got the tossup. So in a quiz with 24 errors, the final score was 60-100-160. by Jesse Startup KY - 140 NY - 130 NE - 110 Quiz 30 w/Dr. Knapp: We are down to the elite 8 in the 2008 AACS tournament. Only Florida, Kentucky, and Wisconsin have no losses. Oh, and when this is over, I guarantee there will be no "One Shining Moment" song. We just don't role like that. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: Look, no offence here to Nebraska, but they are out of their league here. They quizzed terrible last quiz and it will take a major screw up from New York for them to survive. The good news here is that Kentucky should care about this game as New York is way more of a threat Nebraska, and so if there is a chance for Kentucky to help Nebraska, they should do that. (At least, it would benefit them. I'm not saying they can't out-quiz New York, but I think they would have an easier time with Nebraska). Anyway, New York and Kentucky will probably fight for the high and Nebraska will be left out. Remember, if you're New York or Kentucky, you aren't only fighting for survival, you're fighting to be considered for the bye as well. Obviously if it's close, you do everything you can to stay alive, but if some other team is taking the loss anyway, you really want to get the bye. Q1: NE gets 20. I'm actually impressed. Q2: NY gets 20 and KY is losing! Just FYI, this is the first time all day I've seen New York. Q3: Error for NE and KY pulls out the tossup, using almost all of the time. Hey, 20 points is the same whether you earn it in 2 seconds or 29 seconds. Q4: NE gets another correct. KY challenges (Shocker!) but it's overruled. Q5: NY gets another. KY is still losing! Score after 5 questions: NE 40, KY 20, NY 40. Wow, I did not expect this. But there are 15 questions left, so maybe it'll even out. Q6-7: Correct answer by NY, then an error by NY and KY gets the tossup. Q8: KY errors for the first time, and NE gets the tossup. NY calls timeout. (Why?) I think that Dr. Knapp is being generous a little with Kentucky's jumps. They are clearly not one continuous motion and sometimes he calls fouls but often times he doesn't. Just an observation. I think all the (good) teams do that to some extent, but I guess KY is more obvious. Q9: Error by NY, tossup by NE Q10: NY ran out of time with the quote, KY gets the tossup to tie with NY. Score after 10 questions: NE 80, KY 60, NY 60. This is the most even quiz I've seen today. Q11: KY gets the Startup Special (foul and error), NE also errors, and before the free question to New York, KY challenges the quizmaster's reading of the question. Knapp says the question is thrown out, which is so lucky for KY. But also: OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 6 Q11-13: Three KY questions in a row and it seems like KY has woken up. Q14: New York jumps way early on a finish, with Knapp only getting out the word "even" Amazingly, they get it right. Q15: New York misses and loses 10, KY misses the tossup, NY challenges saying Knapp misspoke. Both errors are thrown out, and we go on, but not without this: OFFICIAL DR. KNAPP ERROR SCOREBOARD: 7 Q15: New York gets 20 and we got to timeout and the error zone. Score after 15 questions: NE 80, KY 120, NY 100. 2 questions separate NE and KY. With the error zone though, it may be safe, at least for Kentucky, to sit and let the other teams error and burn themselves. But hey, what do I know. Q16: NE jumps way early on a quote and doesn't get the number of the chapter, but they guess it right anyway. Woah. Q17: KY secures the middle. This is between NE and NY now. Q18: NE jumps way early and this time, they error, with NY picking up the tossup. NE needs NY to error and/or get the next two right. Q19: Now NY jumps too early and Dr. Knapp reviews it before ruling it incorrect. NY challenges Dr. Knapp's theology ("Jesus is not dead, he is alive!" says NY quizzer) and this is a tough call, but Dr. Knapp overrules it after a bit of thinking. NE gets the rebound. NE 110 NY 110. Q20: Very easy question, it becomes a race, and NY squeaks out ahead of NE and gets the answer, living another day and eliminating Nebraska. That was a great quiz. Final Score: NE 110, KY 140, NY 130 Final thoughts: I thought Nebraska would go out with a whimper, but they fought tooth-and-nail to stay in. I don't think Kentucky had a bad quiz; I think they did their best. Also, if NY were to be eliminated before Thursday, I think it would've come in this quiz. Next time they will be ready. by William Hales FL - 160 WI - 150 SC - 80 Quiz 31 with David Douglas South Carolina has had a loss since the first round while Florida and Wisconsin both have only highs and middles After a brief discussion of SC staying alive verses them surviving we begin the quiz. Q1 is won by Florida for 20 points Q2 the jump is won by Wisconsin but is an error Florida wins the tossup for 20 more Q3 is incorrect by Fl Sc wins the tossup jump and is correct for the 20 points but there's an appeal. After a brief discussion of the quality of the question it stands Q4 is won by WI for 20 points Q5 is won by Sc but time is called Florida wins the tossup and is correct Scorecheck Sc 20, Fl 60 WI 20 Q6 the jump is won by WI but is incorrect Florida wins the tossup for 20 points Q7 is a finsih this verse and Florida gets it correct Q8 is correct for Sc Q9 is won by Sc again Q10 is correct for SC again Scorecheck SC 80, Fl 100, WI 20 Q11 is a Finish this verse for Florida and is correct there's an appeal but it is denied Q12 WI wins the jump for the 20 points Q13 WI gets it again Q14 Fl wins the jump but is incorrect Tossup is won by SC but runs out of time There's an appeal on the initial miss by Fl but it is denied Free question for WI is a Finish which they get correct for 10 points Q14 repeated the jump is won by Wi but is incorrect SC wins the tossup jump but runs out of time again A free question for Fl is correct Q14 repeated again Wi is incorrect Florida is incorrect on the tossup Free question to SC is correct Q14 repeated again again is a reference question SC wins the jump but runs out of time Tossup is won by WI but Mr. Douglas reconsiders and decides to throw out the question and the errors Q14 repeated again again again Florida gets it correct Q15 finally Quote this verse is correct for Fl and David Tyrrel Quizzes out Scorecheck SC 90, Fl 170, Wi 60 Q16 is correct for Wi for 80 Q17 is won by Fl but is incorrect WI wins the tossup to get to 100 and pass SC Q18 is a finish this verse WI wins the jump but cannot finish Tossup to SC but is incorrect Free question to FL but they miss Q18 repeated is correct for WI for 110 while Sc has 80 Q19 is won by WI for 20 points and a quizout Q20 is a quote and WI gets it correct Florida and Wisconsin continue the string of highs and middles while South Carolina takes there 2nd loss. Final Score Fl 160, WI 150 and SC 80 by Jesse Startup IL - 140 FL - 130 NY - 120 Quiz 32 w/Dr. Knapp: 6 teams left, Wisconsin, Florida, and Kentucky still don't have a loss. There is likely to be two more quizzing rounds after this one. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: NY I think will get the high, rebounding after last round's near elimination. IL will probably lose; I am not too impressed with them this year and quite frankly, I'm surprised they're still here. FL is the wild card in this quiz; they could high win or lose here, and I wouldn't be too shocked either way. In this quiz they have huge targets on their backs. Q1: Error for NY right off the bat, IL gets the tossup. Hmm. Q2: Another 20 for IL. Huh, shows how much I know. Q3: FL is on the board. Q4: NY is on the board. Q5: Yet another 20 for IL. Wow, really? I thought New York would come out guns blazing. Score after 5 questions: NY 20, FL 20, IL 60. Q6: Error this time with FL, IL gets the tossup quote. Amazing that nobody is challenging them. Q7: Error for NY again, IL misses the tossup and FL gets the 10 point freebee. NY jumps too early again and misses. IL gets the tossup. Q8: Foul on FL, NY gets a quote to overtake FL. Timeout for NY. After they got one right. IL right now is dominating, and I have severly underestimated them. The quiz isn't half over though, but IL is looking good. Q9: Direct reference question missed by NY, IL jumps super fast and guesses correctly. Another timeout, this time with FL I believe. NY and FL are tied due to NY's errors. Q10: FL gets one off the timout. Score after 10 questions: NY 30, FL 50, IL 120. Q11: NY counters with an answer of their own to tie with Florida. Q12: Error for NY, IL denies FL the tossup. Good strategy, that. Q13: FL gets one to increase their lead to 30. Q14: FL gets a quote. Q15: Another FL another. Score after 15 questions: NY 40, FL 110, IL 140. FL has really stepped up when they needed too. Q16: Yet another FL answer leads NY to call timeout. NY has to get 4 of the next 4 and hope that FL errors. Of course, I guess IL could error, but their coach is playing it smart. If I'm FL, I'm sitting. If I'm IL, I'm stting. And if I'm NY, I hope both teams sit, except for one error, so I can get 4 easy questions. Interesting. Q17: Finish this verse. Jump by NY and correct by NY. 1 for 1. Q18: Easy trivia question got by NY. 2 for 2. Q19: Direct reference question, jump by NY, correct by NY. 3 for 3. Q20: Random question got by NY 4 for 4. Meh, but no error. Final Score: NY 120, FL 130, IL 140. Shocker for sure because I thought New York was a lock for Thursday. Especially because I think the competition is weaker this year. IL looked like a world beater in this quiz. And Florida got the questions they needed to survive. by Alex D'Amico KY-140 WI-120 CO-110 The three teams in this quiz are CO,KY,and WI. WI starts out by making an error;CO got the tossup. Aaron got up probably a little too soon and got an error for KY; CO again got the tossup. Q3 sees CO getting a quote correct. Aaron got question 4 correct, but made an error on question 5, which WI got. After 5 questions the score is 60-20-20. WI made an error, and Autumn got it right for KY. Jason got Q7 for CO. Luke answered question 8 for WI; they also got question 9. CO got a quote on Q10 for a score of 100-40-60. After 10 questions, KY is in danger of losing their first quiz in three years. Aaron got question 11, but Randy got an error on Q12 for KY; WI got the toss-up. Autumn missed a quote, and Luke got the toss-up. 100-50-100 after 13. Will got an error for KY, and Micah got the toss-up for CO. Aaron got question 15;. 120-60-100. After 15 questions, this is a very tight quiz. Kentucky is behind, but they are close enough that any of these teams could lose. Autumn got a quote for question 16. Luke got question 17 for WI. This is the cleanest quiz that I have seen today, and KY is not getting the good end. Co made an error, but Autumn bailed them out by erroring too. Luke got the free question. Q18 repeated saw Aaron jump Extremely fast, and after thinking about it, it was ruled correct. He got another one. After 19 it is 110-110-130. Aaron jumps on "how are our bodies" and got it right. KY survives a thriller and CO is eliminated. The tiebreaker will determine high and middle but with only 5 teams left, it doesn't matter a whole lot. On the tiebreaker, Luke answered wrong, but Ky missed it too, so there was a new toss-up, and Luke missed it, but this time Ky got it to secure the win. By Jesse Startup WI - 150 IL - 130 FL - 100 Quiz 34 w/Dr. Knapp: Final Four for AACS: IL, FL, WI, KY. KY has the bye, which was long overdue after multiple high wins. No true upsets here, both IL and WI have proved themselves to be contender. Dr. Knapp says that due to time-constrants, there must be one team with a loss going into Thursday. With IL being the only team with the loss, should they lose, another quiz will take place today between the final 3. If not, the high winner sits out and KY comes in for the final quiz today. Confused? Yeah, me too. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: Florida loses here, IL gets the middle. Yeah, it's random but I don't think I've come close to predicting an outcome yet, so lets just be random and see if it works. Q1: Error for WI, tossup for FL. Q2: IL for 20. Q3: FL for 20. Q4: FL for 20. Okay, I give up. If I pick against a team, they always win. Q5: IL for 20. Score after 5 questions: IL 40, FL 60, WI 0. Q6. FL errors after I change my mind about them, and WI gets the rebound. Q7: Light flickerage gives FL an error, WI misses the tossup, and IL gets the free. Early jump on a quote question by FL, and an incorrect guess puts them in the error zone. WI gets the tossup. Q8: WI error now and they're in the error zone, FL misses the tossup, and IL gets the free again. Timeout for FL and that's a good call. FL had a great start but ruined it via 4 errors within the past 3 questions. The advantage here is with IL, who has the lead and no errors. Another FL error on the redo, another WI error, and now a challenge from FL. Decent challenge and accepted, getting both WI and FL most recent errors erased. Q8 Still: WI gets the correct answer, tying with IL and leading FL by 10. Q9: FL misses another quote, with WI getting tossup. Hey hey, my prediction is coming true! Q10: FL with another error, and WI gets the tossup again. Score after 10 questions: IL 60, FL 30, WI 100. Q11: WI for 20. Timeout for Florida. Okay, this is the quiz in which Florida should lose. Whether or not they lose is based on their skill level, their coaching, some speed, and some luck. Or just the other teams making mistakes. Q12: IL error (it's their first), FL gets the tossup after hearing the whole question. Q13: IL gets 20 to pull ahead by 30 again. Q14: Error for WI and it's a three horse race again. IL also errors and this is just the break that FL needs. But alas, they miss the free. They rebound though by getting the redo question. Q15: Another FL 20. Score after 15 questions: IL 80, FL 90, WI 110. Q16: Yet another FL 20 with David quizzing out. Now FL fights for the bye as well as survival. Q17: WI gets a huge (not important, but just long) quote. Q18: Reference question as IL jumps and misses. WI gets the tossup. Now IL needs 2 out of 2. Q19: Easy question for IL. 1 for 1. Q20: IL jumps and gets it right. 2 for 2. Not quite the final score: IL 110, FL 110, WI 150. Tiebreaker: Correct answer ends the quiz, nothing else. David is out for Florida, and it's a finish this verse. FL jumped too early, and missed, and IL gets the tossup for the win. Final Score: IL 130, FL 100, WI 150. Final thoughts: Well, I predicted it correctly. I also said that this was the quiz Florida was supposed to lose, and they did. IL got the two questions they needed at the end, and FL did okay, but it wasn't enough. WI looked great and could be the biggest threat to KY. We won't see them til Thursday. by Jesse Startup KY - 150 FL - 140 IL - 100 Quiz 35 w/Dr. Knapp: Final Four for AACS: IL, FL, WI, KY. With FL losing and WI getting the high win, we play again, this time with KY playing FL and IL. WI gets the bye to Thursday, and the two (or three) survivors meet them in two days. Jesse's limited knowledge prediction: I'm going with a bold prediction this time: KY loses. FL wins, IL gets the middle. Well, either that or IL loses. I do not think that FL will lose this. Q1: Early jump on a reference question by IL yields an error. KY gets the tossup. Q2: KY gets a quote. Q3: Another early jump on a reference question, this time by FL. In SCQANIT you can do that more with direct references. Not here. KY gets the tossup. Q4: KY gets another, oh wait, they missed it. FL gets on the board with the tossup. Q5: KY gets the Startup Special (foul and error), FL again gets the tossup Score after 5 questions: IL 0, KY 60, FL 40. Q6: More fun with reference questions, but this time IL gets it and now is on the board. Q7: A quote is missed by FL, missed by KY, free goes to IL. KY is in the error zone now. FL gets the redo and has caught KY. Q8: Now FL gets the Startup Special, and KY gets the Startup Special as well! Amazing! Two Startup Specials in a row! That's super special awesome! IL gets the free and KY calls a timeout. FL is ahead, leading IL by 20 and KY by 10. KY being in the error zone and all, I'm feeling pretty good about my "Bold" prediction. FL comes back from the timeout with a correct quote. Q9: IL errors, KY also errors, and will now challenge the question, but to no avail. FL gets the free question. IL and KY are tied at 40. The redo is gotten by KY though. Q10: IL bites back with a correct answer. Score after 10 questions: IL 60, KY 60, FL 90 Q11: FL gets one to extend their lead to 50. However, the scorekeeper got confused and assigned herself an error: OFFICIAL SCOREKEEPER ERROR SCOREBOARD: 1 (that we know of) Q12: FL error, and KY gets the tossup Q13: Another KY answer and now KY and FL are tied at 100. Q14: Quick FL jump, but she gets it for 20. Q15: Error for IL, and FL gets the tossup. Timeout for IL. Score after 15 questions: IL 60, KY 100, FL 140. FL has the middle at least, but I think they could give KY a loss should the situation arise. Nice use of errors for IL. Q16: Easy question for KY. Q17: Another easy question for KY. This is over for IL. Q18: IL gets one to enhance their individual record. Oh wait, there is no individual record. Q19: Another IL question. Q20: KY gets the last one. Final score: IL 100, KY 150, FL 140. Final thoughts: Well, I thought Florida wouldn't lose and they didn't come close. KY had a lot of errors but IL wasn't able to capitalize. A very good run though for IL. Final predictions: I see WI losing one, then KY, and then who knows. Gemme FL at 3rd, WI at 2nd, and KY at 1st, but I don't think it would be an upset if KY got eliminated. Thanks for reading!
