I found [https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~quizbowl/tournaments/Old/94-95/ a directory with stats here], but I'm having trouble making sense of them. The prelim stats rank everyone after round 13, the playoff stats have additional stats after ''11'' rounds...could that possibly be right? ''24'' rounds of quizbowl? It looks like it's possible, because all of the playoff brackets list what appear to be wins/losses/byes, and the non-winner playoff brackets list 3, 4, or even 5 playoff byes. I'd love another pair of eyes on this to sanity-check. -- [[User:Alex Damisch|Alex Damisch]] ([[User talk:Alex Damisch|talk]]) 14:37, 18 December 2020 (CST)

Based on the packets listed in the stats there adding up to 24, it definitely looks like there were 24 rounds used. You are seeing correctly! It might be worth checking the Yahoo usergroup archive around this time to verify, though the only version that I can find online is too full of spam to be useful. [[user:Chris Chiego|Chris Chiego]]

I found a directory with stats here, but I'm having trouble making sense of them. The prelim stats rank everyone after round 13, the playoff stats have additional stats after 11 rounds...could that possibly be right? 24 rounds of quizbowl? It looks like it's possible, because all of the playoff brackets list what appear to be wins/losses/byes, and the non-winner playoff brackets list 3, 4, or even 5 playoff byes. I'd love another pair of eyes on this to sanity-check. -- Alex Damisch (talk) 14:37, 18 December 2020 (CST)
