Three-factor theory of quizbowl moderating
Cody has proposed a three-factor theory of quizbowl moderating; the factors being flow, hustle, and grit, which is also the order they should be mastered by new moderators. Flow mostly involves how natural a moderator's reading is, i.e. lacking stiltedness, pauses, and other hallmarks of poor moderators. Hustle is the overall speed of a moderator, including not just reading speed but also the speed of transition within and between tossup-bonus cycles. Grit is the ability to read a supernumerary number of games in a day or weekend while maintaining clarity.
