-'''Qblitz''' is an online quizbowl company, founded circa late 2018 by Dr. [[Noah Prince]]. It offers a platform for asynchronous online tournaments that fills a similar niche to [[NAQT]]'s [[Buzzword]]. Qblitz hosts both academic tournaments (its "Challenge Sets") and [[pop culture]] tournaments written by the larger community.
+{{Infobox
 ==Features==
-Tournaments in Qblitz replace the [[moderator]] with a recording of the questions, which is played for each participant locally. This allows players to compete asynchronously: each can hear the question, buzz, and type in an answer entirely separately from their teammates and opponents. The system keeps track of the exact moment when each player buzzed and uses this information to determine who won a tossup. The procedure for doing so is identical to that of in-person tournaments (i.e. "the first to buzz wins the tossup unless they neg"), with a special case for both players answering correctly at [[the end]].
 Because [[buzzpoint]] stats are tracked for every player and every team in the absence of an opponent, there is nothing stopping preventing a team's performance from being compared to more than one team. In any given game, the difference between playing one team head-to-head or every other team in a simulated round robin is simply a choice in format.

 ==Tournaments and Events==
 Qblitz played its first online tournament in Spring 2019. [[Benjamin Fry]] became the Season Finale Champion, while [[Anson Berns]] and [[Mark Bailey]] placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. [[Yuti Das]] and [[Ameya Singh]] were the top Middle School finishers in the competition.
 ===Side events===
 Qblitz is a natural choice for remote cooperation [[audio tournaments]], a category conceived of by [[John Lawrence]] during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. As with other audio tournaments, sound clips are arranged pyramidally and serve as clues in place of spoken text, but now team members can take advantage of the platform to play independently of one another. As the majority of its academic competitions are at the high school or middle school level, these side events are the major use case of Qblitz in the collegiate and [[open]] community. Most tournaments thus far have been doubles format.
 ==Results==
-Qblitz does not currently publicize stats from tournaments, so these tables are necessarily incomplete.
+Qblitz releases summaries of event results on its blog.
