I just wanted to point out that the tournament that Tom alluded to in Chicago, the NAQT Intercollegiate Tournament, is happening Saturday, and a team from Oxford is going. Apparently, British teams regularly attended this from 1996 to 2003, and a team led by Ian Bayley in the early 2000's had at least one top ten finish. The field that Oxford is up against is here: http://www.naqt.com/registration/field.jsp?tournament_id=3492<br />Divisions I and II are playing separate tournaments at the same location. Division II teams are made either entirely of undergraduates at four-year institutions who have not attended Division II ICT before, or are teams from two-year colleges. Having a graduate student or a previous DII ICT qualifier makes a team automatically DI, but some teams may play in DI by choice.dxdtdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534247033439073645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-5845912264925649662011-04-05T09:03:06.615-07:002011-04-05T09:03:06.615-07:00Hi dxdtdemon,

He did very well, and I would say that he was outstanding in the final. <br /><br />Thanks for the links - I know that a lot of our readers will appreciate that. And thanks for taking the time and trouble to leave a comment.<br /><br />DaveLondiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-28677376298191860182011-04-04T15:15:01.860-07:002011-04-04T15:15:01.860-07:00Hi.

Anyway, if any of the readers of this blog are going to participate in this tournament, here is a link to last year's version (which was made by primarily the same writers within the University of Minnesota quizbowl team) of the tournament for practice material: http://collegiate.quizbowlpackets.com/archive/2010MUT/2010%20MUT%20Final/<br />This tournament is approximately the same level of difficutly as the ACF Fall tournament that occurred at Oxford last fall. I cannot find a link to the British version of the questions of 2010 ACF Fall, but as the American/Canadian version was 90-95% the same, here is the link to that version: http://collegiate.quizbowlpackets.com/archive/2010ACFFall/dxdtdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534247033439073645noreply@blogger.com
