http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~paik/acf/04nats.html Apparently "every team at the most recent installment of ACF's highest difficulty, national championship tournament had a final PPG of over 50, with only four teams averaging below 100 PPG (three of which were D2 novice teams)" translates to "90% of college bowl teams would average less than 50 PPG on a typical ACF packet." When you start talking about ACF Fall and ACF Regionals stats, which can be found through links at http://www.stanford.edu/~csewell/sqbs/ , the numbers become more apparent. So, are you going to retract your clearly incorrect and misleading statement in light of the facts? Now, to say this in the most civil manner possible: 1. The extent of your involvement in quiz bowl seems to be having played in a few self-contained IM tournaments, none of which occurred within the past 4-5 years. 2. You post frequently in this board, yet none of them ever seem to be serious posts about QB tournaments, theory, or debate. I don't think I've seen you make a post that wasn't a) some off topic game show tangent, b) some obscure and unnecessary in-joke that didn't needed to be posted publicly in the first place, or c) some nonsensical one-line potshot that tries (and fails) to pass itself off as humor, but just annoys people and clutters the board. Perhaps if you had even the slightest involvement in the circuit hosting, directing, editing, writing for, or playing in current/recent QB tournaments (remember, this IS the QB group, right?), it might be easier to cut you some slack. But since you don't do any of the above , nor discuss any of the above in your posts, it is extremely hard to see how you could be any better than a spammer. Do tell us what topical value your posts bring to the group, because I sure can't find any sane person who could figure that out.
