Anthony wrote: "Now, if it's a matter of the Regional Coordinator turning away qualified moderators, that's something you should probably contact College Bowl directly about." It's very easy to get confused about what College Bowl Company, Inc. is responsible for, and what the Association of College Unions-International is responsible for. Comments about question quality and basic format should go to CBCI. Comments about tournament format, officials recruiting, eligibility rules, and the institutional rep. rule should be directed towards ACU-I. The ACU-I College Bowl Team (formerly called the ACU-I College Bowl Committee) will be meeting in a month. A great many issues are already on the preliminary agenda. If players have concerns about anything, they should communicate these to their Regional Coordinator, or Frank Gencur (College Bowl Team leader), soon. The complete list of ACU-I Regional Coordinators and College Bowl Team members can be found in several places on the College Bowl web site, www.collegebowl.com . Anthony also said: "They feel very proud about what they do, and the worst way to approach them about possible changes is to sound like an egotistical jackass talking down to children, while acting like a zealot for the one true quizbowl. From what I gather, people have done this on occasion, causing bad relations." Indeed. While adult conversation, challenging discussion, and the healthy rhetoric of debate are appreciated, flames and rants are generally ignored or discounted.
