The funny: I was doing a practice Tuesday night, and this was the question that I read: "What 1989 novel tells the tales of June, Rose, Waverly, Lena, and their mothers?" True answer: Joy Luck Club Answer Given by someone else: Babysitter's Club Ouch! The serious: I have begun holding informational meetings for quiz bowl at my school (NC State), and the turnout for the amount of advertising I have done is phenomenal. I have gotten over 30 people over the last two days and there are at least 5-10 more that aren't counted in that because they aren't in my database or couldn't make it to either of the two informational meetings. The problem is that I have never dealt with a group this large. What can I do to make quiz bowl to a group this large (although probably not all at once) more fun and more personal (when you get to the 30+ person level, it starts to get to the point where you are reading 1 question per person the whole practice!)? I think I am going to have to do multiple meetings per week, but even then the numbers per practice will (at least to start with) will be around 15-20. Thanks everyone!
