MODAQ (MODerator Assistant for Quizbowl, also sometimes known as Quiz Bowl Reader) is a web-based system for reading and scoring quizbowl packets developed by Alejandro Lopez-Lago. It tracks buzzpoint data and outputs files of stats which can be automatically processed by YellowFruit. The integrated reading and scoring interface allows a single staffer to run a game room with essentially no additional time or effort compared to a two-staffer room, and the stats compilation options reduce the need for a team of statkeepers at a large tournament to a single person, who can usually work from off-site if needed. PACE NSC, NASAT, and many invitational tournaments now use this system.
