Thanks to NAQT ICT Writers

With question selection for the Division I set of packets for the 
upcoming NAQT ICT now complete, and set editing nearing completion, I 
wanted to thank the writers who are contributing to this year's ICT 
set.  I'm not sure that the quizbowl community always realizes how 
many different people are contributing to NAQT sets these days, 
virtually all of them veterans of circuit quizbowl play.

This year's Division I ICT set is the combined product of 38
different 
writers, 22 of whom, by my count, have themselves played in one or 
more of the five NAQT ICTs to date.  (Plug:  more writers--capable 
ones, anyway--are always needed, we add several new writers every 
year, and we've been successful enough that we now pay rather more
per 
question accepted than we used to...)

So, on behalf of NAQT's senior editors, thanks for contributing to 
this year's ICT question set:  Craig Barker, Eric Bell, Matt Bruce, 
Mike Burger, Fred Carpenter, Vernon Davenport, Anthony de Jesus,
David 
Dixon, Jill Fraley, Peter Freeman, Robert Hentzel, Eric Hillemann, 
Samer Ismail, Willy Jay, Ken Jennings, Guy Jordan, Dwight Kidder,
Chad 
Kubicek, Steve Lange, David Levinson, Robert Linham, Pat Matthews, 
Chris Mayfield, Chris Nolte, Emily Pike, Suresh Ramasubramanian, Eric 
Reehl, John Sheahan, Julie Stahlhut, Gaius Stern, Mitchell 
Szczepanczyk, Eric Tentarelli, Robert Trent, Bill Tressler, Brian 
Ulrich, Tom Waters, Joe Wright, and Andrew Yaphe.

Question selection is not entirely complete yet for the Division II 
set, but the final list of contributors to that set will doubtless 
include all or nearly all of the above, plus several of our writers 
who remain active players and will be playing in Division I at the 
tournament.  Heavy contributors like Ed Cohn, Raj Dhuwalia, and
Subash 
Maddipoti, are sure to have *many* questions in the Division II set, 
and five or six others are likely to have some.  Thanks to all!

Eric Hillemann
NAQT Chief Editor
