Is a similar page planned to track the continued existence of bad quizbowl by location? There are several locations that have successful good quizbowl circuits but still a significant bad quizbowl presence (Illinois and Missouri, at least). Jonah (talk) 20:39, 9 March 2014 (PDT)
I overwrote some aesthetic changes to the page to get my info drop finished; if you want to retrieve your formatting work to get it back in without redoing it, it's in the revision history. Matt Weiner (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2014 (PDT)
I think having the overall status on one page makes the most sense (having it on separate pages would make Missouri look good on the "good" page and bad on the "bad" page, for instance). Ben Zhang suggested in the IRC:
would it be better to organize it as a table with columns for "good quizbowl presence", "bad quizbowl presence", and "quizbowl organizations"
I think a table similar to this makes sense. How about something like this, with Missouri/Kansas as examples:
State/Province/Territory | Overall status | Good quizbowl presence | Bad quizbowl presence |
---|---|---|---|
Kansas | overwhelmingly bad; restrictive governing body | KSHSAA does not bar hosting a good quizbowl event in Kansas. So far, a few NAQT sets have been run. Possible that support for a better system will arise at some point. | KSHSAA is one of the most backwards governing bodies in any state; terrible state championship, season restricted to late October to mid-February, and restrictions on out-of-state participation (including at national championships) are probably not going away anytime soon. |
Missouri | many good tournaments, but still a large bad quizbowl presence; restrictive governing body |

I'm undecided on whether or not it looks better with bullet points; doesn't really matter to me. - Jeffrey Hill (talk) 17:18, 10 March 2014 (PDT)
