I, Pericles Abbasi, in conjunction with Seth Teitler, am going to answer Subash Maddipoti to all questions. And while we're on the subject, Andrew would prefer it if you did NOT call him the Great Chicago Fire-crotch. -Larry Horse danpassner <DanPassner_at_...> wrote: I have thought long and hard on this issue, as I feel it is one that needs to be looked into every so often.

My e- mail is danpass_at_... . 1) Do you think the way quizbowl is currently designed is inherently misogynistic? If yes, why? 2) Do you think there should be a diversity quotient in packets? 3) Who are, in your opinion are some of the most attractive, or hottest, males and females in quizbowl today, you can feel free to provide specific reasoning. 4) Is there anything in particular that is pushing women away from quizbowl? If yes, can it be fixed and how would you go about it? 5) Do you feel that female/minority material is, in fact overrepresented in some formats/tournaments? Do you feel that the underrepresented requirement in some packet distributions is ultimately detrimental to quizbowl, or to gender balance in quizbowl in the long run? 6) Do you have any stories of being discriminated against on the basis of sex in quiz bowl? 7) Has quiz bowl led you to your significant other, or to other males or females attempting to make you their significant other?
