- [08:08] <HenryGorman> At the Half: Max Schindler, 165, Harmony, 55
- [08:09] <HenryGorman> Max fifteens science!
- [08:10] <HenryGorman> Sadly, Henry of Harmony no longer has his street urchin cap
- [08:10] * Wasabi (Mibbit@F2C6ACF0.A4D9BCC1.64E4BCA0.IP) has joined #TexasInvitational
- [08:10] <Wasabi> who's playing right now?
- [08:11] <HenryGorman> Max is stiller this morning, mostly, only moving dramatically to throw his face into his hands, and then clutch behind his head in sorrow when he negs
- [08:11] <HenryGorman> Max of Ladue, Harmony
- [08:11] <HenryGorman> Everyone seems a little groggy now
- [08:11] <HenryGorman> not surprising, since it's the AM
- [08:11] <HenryGorman> Harmony tens their bonus
- [08:12] <HenryGorman> Max scores a remarkable lit fifteen
- [08:14] <HenryGorman> His thumb strokes the button on his buzzer, and he slips into pressing it, negging
- [08:15] <HenryGorman> Harmony picks up the tossup, is unable to capetalize on this bonus, which they bagel
- [08:16] <HenryGorman> Current events goes dead completely
- [08:17] <HenryGorman> Max picks up chemistry!
- [08:18] <HenryGorman> and thirties an American lit bonus
- [08:18] <HenryGorman> Negs on trash-- it's rather egregious too
- [08:18] <HenryGorman> Merrick of Harmony picks it up
- [08:19] <HenryGorman> End: Max: 420, Harmony, 95
- [08:19] <HenryGorman> or maybe Max: 315, Harmony 95
- [08:19] <HenryGorman> wait, yes, that's right
- [08:19] <HenryGorman> it's early
- [08:20] <enagler> go get some caffeine in your system
- [08:20] <HenryGorman> Or rather, caffinate our scorekeeper
- [08:20] <enagler> either way
- [08:20] <HenryGorman> indeed[08:21] <HenryGorman> I'm frankly rather shocked that any of us are remotely functional at this hour
- [08:21] <HenryGorman> it's a good two and a half hours before I usually wake up...
- [08:21] <enagler> is kwartler reading? he's usually somewhat incoherent until later in the day
- [08:22] * ryu (~7531-188@cloak-DE740162.nts.wustl.edu) has joined #TexasInvitational
- [08:22] <HenryGorman> he is!
- [08:22] <HenryGorman> reading, that is
- [08:23] <HenryGorman> but I would guess at least sort of incoherent as well
- [08:23] <enagler> hopefully he's comprehensible this morning
- [08:24] <HenryGorman> In my memories of his morning tournament-reading, he's usually comprehensible-- he just looks miserable
- [08:24] <enagler> yeah, that's true, he usually does fine at tournaments

- [08:25] <HenryGorman> now, Max versus Dorman
- [08:26] <HenryGorman> Madhav's bow tie is purple today
- [08:26] <HenryGorman> Tabitha starts the round with a slammingly fast power
- [08:27] <HenryGorman> like, about three words
- [08:27] <HenryGorman> and looks well-deservedly pleased with herself
- [08:27] <HenryGorman> Brian gets the second TU for them, trash
- [08:27] <HenryGorman> the chairs in this room rock
- [08:27] <HenryGorman> and turn back and forth
- [08:28] <Wasabi> and squeak
- [08:28] <HenryGorman> Madhav is rotating left and right, Max is rocking
- [08:28] <HenryGorman> Madhav fifteens science, Max is just barely beat out, he lets out a groan
- [08:29] <HenryGorman> and Max is in with a ten on geography
- [08:30] * mib_5jk44t (Mibbit@cloak-4D02B5DA.mycingular.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [08:30] <HenryGorman> he's not super-happy to hear that the bonus will also be geography, though, groaning about it
- [08:30] <HenryGorman> but is surprised when he twenties it
- [08:30] <HenryGorman> Here, he listens for a while, and sticks his tongue out a bit, before pulling a quick fifteen on art
- [08:31] <HenryGorman> Meghan or Dorman twirls her pen
- [08:31] <HenryGorman> I didn't realize when I liveblogged last year that Megan is a Clusserath-- carrying on a family legacy

- [08:35] <HenryGorman> he continually tosses it back and forth
- [08:35] <stats> does he seem stressed or relaxed?
- [08:35] <HenryGorman> and then tens politics
- [08:35] <HenryGorman> he seems a little agitated
- [08:35] <HenryGorman> but he's not freaking out
- [08:35] <HenryGorman> even though Dorman has been bringing the pressure
- [08:35] <HenryGorman> pulls out a solid 20 on the bonus
- [08:36] <HenryGorman> Tabitha tens bible
- [08:37] <HenryGorman> and they twenty an academic common links

- [08:37] <HenryGorman> Now, Max holds his pencil like a dagger

- [08:40] <HenryGorman> Madhav's right leg twitches beneat the table
- [08:40] <HenryGorman> Max negs on science
- [08:41] <HenryGorman> and chews his pen
- [08:41] <stats> he cant afford to neg...
- [08:41] <HenryGorman> unlike yesterday, he doesn't have snacks to eat when he negs
- [08:41] <HenryGorman> Dorman picks up the TU
- [08:42] <HenryGorman> Max tens current events

- [13:21] <evilmonkey> sadly, I will not be nearly as entertaining Henry
- [13:21] <evilmonkey> as Henry, rather.
- [13:21] <asdf> haha who are you?
- [13:22] <evilmonkey> Bryce Durgin of Texas A&M
- [13:23] <evilmonkey> I'm currently watching my freshmen play Texas-Austin; after 2, this game is tied at 20
- [13:23] <asdf> oh ok
- [13:24] <evilmonkey> Will Linz, formerly of Temple confusedly buzzes in at the end, as does Ellis. Neither can pick up the lit.
- [13:25] <evilmonkey> Near the end, Daniel Chapman pick up an American history tossup. On the bonus, Daniel Chupin doesn't even look up, as they 20 a physics bonus.
- [13:27] <evilmonkey> Ellis tries to pull music near the end; the moderator, conditioned by SCT rules, almost negs him before remembering he has five seconds; but the added time is still insufficient to pull the tossup.
- [13:29] <evilmonkey> Will of A&M buzzes and fails to pick it up. On the biology tossup that follows, Ellis once again negs, and Patrick (a freshman from Germany) picks it up at the end.
- [13:30] <evilmonkey> Upon hearing the bonus, Will shakes his head in dismay. Zero on the bonus for A&M.
- [13:30] <Itamar> category?
- [13:30] <evilmonkey> Ellis leans back in his chair, perhaps relaxing after negging twice in a row.
- [13:31] <evilmonkey> History on that last one. A common name art tossup is passing over their heads with the Longhorns two Daniel's perk up, racing each other, and Chapman gets the tossup.
- [13:32] <evilmonkey> A jazz bonus causes a player to mutter the first of what is sure to be many expletives under his breath, as they 0 this one.
- [13:33] <evilmonkey> Chupin awakes from his hunched state and buzzes excitedly on lit, but alas, is wrong. A&M fails to pick it up at thend.
- [13:37] <evilmonkey> Computer Science, and Chris Price, a grad student who last was seen as an Ohio high schooler, negs. Texas picks it up, and upon hearing the biology bonus Chapman sits up, tapping his pencil to his lips. They miss the first part, and manage only to 10 the bonus.
- [13:37] <evilmonkey> At the half, Texas leads A&M 85-25.
- [13:38] <evilmonkey> Neither of these teams seem likely to challenge Bellarmine or Rice in this bracket.
- [13:38] <Itamar> any reports from other rooms?
- [13:38] <evilmonkey> Unfortunately, no.
- [13:38] <WorstQEvr> do the people who have to read games between two actual colleges at texas acf regionals feel cheated
- [13:39] <evilmonkey> At least 5 staffers from SCT are now playing regionals.
- [13:39] <asdf> Is Bellarmine with Sameer?
- [13:39] <evilmonkey> Bellarmine does have Sameer.
- [13:40] <asdf> Ah ok, was he there at SCT?
- [13:40] <HeyTanay> no
- [13:40] <asdf> I heard he wasn't at least for some part
- [13:40] <asdf> ok, thanks
- [13:41] <evilmonkey> Tossup 11 is gotten by Texas, who 10s the bonus. Chupin raises a hand to his face as he listened to myth, and buzzes at the end, incorrectly. A&M freshman Colin picks up his first tossup, and Chris uses some first-hand knowledge to pick up 20 on the bonus.
- [13:42] <Itamar> until what time are rounds being played tonight

- [13:42] <evilmonkey> All laugh at some bonus part, lightening the mood in the round.
- [13:43] <evilmonkey> Will picks up a lit tossup; rounds will be played until 11, I believe
- [13:44] <asdf> How's the timing been at the tournament so far? Is everything going on time?
- [13:44] <evilmonkey> The philosophy bonus gives 10 for will; the score now stands at 105-85
- [13:44] <evilmonkey> 20 rather on the bonus
- [13:44] <evilmonkey> the tournament is running 30 minutes early
- [13:45] <evilmonkey> Danny Chupin buzzes in on science correctly; Will looks down, smiles, looks over at his team, and looks back down.
- [13:45] * mib_6fidhv (Mibbit@1B3761CD.5A6148D3.46EEDA8.IP) has joined #TexasInvitational
- [13:45] <evilmonkey> Texas listens intently to the art bonus, finally picking up 10 at the end.
- [13:46] <evilmonkey> Ellis breaks out in laughter at a clue early in the history tossup, then settles back into contemplation.
- [13:46] * asdf (Mibbit@E4B6F16.73AC4DB2.20FA0806.IP) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [13:47] <evilmonkey> That tossup wends its way to the end. Chupin negs, and Colin picks it up at the end. Victorious, he sits up in his chair as he listens to the astronomy bonus.
- [13:48] <evilmonkey> Next Round - Hunter v. St. John's, or Dorman v. Bellarmine?
- [13:48] <HeyTanay> Dorman Bellarmine
- [13:48] <Itamar> Dorman
- [13:48] <HeyTanay> grudge match from HSNCT
- [13:49] <evilmonkey> That astronomy bonus is 0d. (This is subject to Romero allowing me to continue this role)
- [13:51] <evilmonkey> Texas picks up the tossup, and hears a music bonus; Ellis seems excitable as he rocks back and forth in his chair, but they 0 the bonus
- [13:51] <evilmonkey> after 17, the score is 130-95
- [13:53] <evilmonkey> A geography tossup turns to myth, which Chupin gets; tapping his pencil on the wooden table, the last name in the bonus part is singularized, resulting in yet another zero.
- [13:53] * bhn (Mibbit@FAB0C40B.93E64A00.190DB17B.IP) has joined #TexasInvitational
- [13:53] <evilmonkey> Will raises his buzzer, but averts his gaze from the moderator, indicating he knows not the tossup. The Daniels do, however, and Chapman wins the race on the music tossup.
- [13:55] <evilmonkey> On the history bonus, Chupin looks down, mumbling "Goodness" to himself, and can't pull the first two parts; but the third part is easy, and after 18, Texas leads 160 to 95
- [13:56] <evilmonkey> Ellis triumphantly reclines as he buzzes on the religion. Texas seems confused about the mythology in question for the first part of the bonus, but recovers in time to 10 the bonus.

- [14:00] <evilmonkey> On the chemistry, Will tries the strategy of guessing things he's heard of; Patrick responds to an inquiry with "Bro, I'm a history guy", and A&M 20s the bonus. 180-125, Texas.
- [14:02] <evilmonkey> Dorman and Bellarmine has already started; I sneak in after Bellarmine answers the first question, and they 20 the history bonus.
- [14:02] <evilmonkey> expressively stating the 3rd part in unison.
- [14:03] <evilmonkey> Sameer buzzes in expressively on physics, but is wrong; he leans his hand against his head, and lets out a sigh as he realizes what it must be. Madhav picks it up at the end.
- [14:04] <evilmonkey> Max Schindler is reading his own packet in this room, the "bye reader" room.
- [14:04] <evilmonkey> Dorman gets 20 on the biology bonus.
- [14:05] <evilmonkey> Sameer jerks up in recognition on art, but settles down; Tabitha and Meghan stare intently at Max, and Meghan rings in incorrectly. Sameer gets it at the end.

- [14:06] <evilmonkey> Bellarmine only gets 10 on the law bonus.
- [14:07] <evilmonkey> Dorman picks up the tossup, and gets 10 on lit for the bonus.
- [14:08] <evilmonkey> Madhav, sporting a purple bowtie, looks away from Schindler, with a concerned look on his face. Sameer picks up the tossup, and on the political science bonus, the entire Bellarmine team chimes in on the way to 20 points.
- [14:10] <evilmonkey> Tabitha quickly depresses the buzzer, thinks for a second, and is wrong; and Sameer, the most animated member of this Bellarmine crew, cleans it up.
- [14:10] <evilmonkey> and gets 10 on that bonus. This Bellarmine crew is notably sedate compared to previous incarnations.

- [14:13] <evilmonkey> Madhav and Sameer race early on myth, and Sameer jumps back as if shocked. But it is Madhav who has buzzed first, and Dorman gains control of a bonus. They 20 that current events/trash bonus.
- [14:14] <evilmonkey> Sameer gets the fine arts tossup; hearing the lines in the bonus intro, he holds out his hand, agonizing over where he has heard it; he recalls, and easily 30s the bonus.
- [14:15] <evilmonkey> Tossup 10 is chemistry; the smallish Bellarmine dude on the end nearest me lacks a nametag, but gets the tossup; the religion bonus is then 30'd after some disagreement.
- [14:16] <HeyTanay> that would be either Abhishek or Shreyan
- [14:16] <evilmonkey> At the half, Bellarmine leads 175-100. Hiep is substituted for Abhishek.

- [14:19] <evilmonkey> Dorman 0s. Tossup on religion, gotten by Tabitha. Bonus on Euro history, which Tabitha is able to 20.
- [14:21] <evilmonkey> everyone is staring intently at Max. Sameer, sits up suddenly, then drops his weight to buzz on the lit. He is correct, and they are able to 20 the literature bonus.

- [14:23] <Itamar> yup
- [14:24] <evilmonkey> Tabitha sits up, and flicks the buzzer, but realizes she's in the wrong place; she almost recovers, but cannot pull the answer. The 5th member of Bellarmine (the one who hasn't yet been named) picks it up at the end. On the art bonus, Bellarmine 20s. 235-130 Bellarmine, with 5 to go.

- [14:25] <HeyTanay> (is probably the fifth member)
- [14:25] <evilmonkey> Meghan and Sameer race on the lit, and Meghan wins the race, but is incorrect. Sameer lifts his buzzer and points to it, indicating he will buzz in at the end. Sameer gets it, put his hand on the back of his neck as Bellarmine 20s.

- [14:28] <evilmonkey> On the literature tossup that follows, 8 player shift onto their buzzers, and Tabitha gets there first; Dorman can only 10 their bonus.
- [14:30] <evilmonkey> Brian, Shreyan, and Ved all anxiously tap their feet; Sameer negs the music, and Meghan calmly answers at the end. The bonus is also music, and they can only 10.
- [14:30] <evilmonkey> 260-185
- [14:30] <evilmonkey> entering tossup 20
- [14:32] <evilmonkey> Ved sets up, smiles, and gives the correct answer to the psychology tossup; Bellarmine smile and groan as the miss the easy first part. No further luck on the other parts. Bellarmine 270, Dorman 185.

- [14:43] <stats> wait i thought carlo had a hoodie
- [14:43] <evilmonkey> Max faces away from me in his hoodie and sweats, leg propped up on the chair of his non-existent teammate
- [14:44] <evilmonkey> Carlo has apparently ditched the hoodie. Matt Nance is our moderator; some snippet of unknown conversation Max Schindler: "Carlo is my steed"
- [14:44] <evilmonkey> Claire, who has lost her nametag, has now become Brandon of DCC
- [14:45] <evilmonkey> all of St. John's prepares to take down notes as Matt begins tossup 1.
- [14:45] <evilmonkey> Max decides the tossup has lasted long enough, and ends it; he then proceeds to 20 the lit bonus.
- [14:46] <evilmonkey> He leans forward listening to the science; St. John's seems not to know what is going on, and Max again buzzes in correctly.
- [14:47] <evilmonkey> Max impulsively gives the wrong answer, and tries unsuccessfully to plead that he was conferring to his teammate. He ends up 0ing the bonus.
- [14:48] <evilmonkey> George clenches his buzzer, seeming like he will ring in on the history; but it is his seemingly disinterested teammate Claire who actually picks it up.
- [14:50] <evilmonkey> 10 points on the bonus. Max is leaning completely over, fatigued, but jumps up suddenly at a familiar name. Carlo and Claire are each taking notes furiously, and Carlo negs; Max finally gets it at the end. He swivels in his chair and sips his water as he 10s the literature bonus.
- [14:52] <evilmonkey> Another tossup goes to Max, this time on music. He leans back, and has turned his chair so he is now almost facing me, as he only managed 10 on a difficult history bonus.

- [14:56] <evilmonkey> History - neither Carlo nor Claire show any sign of recognition by the time Max buzzes in with the answer. Carlo fiddles with his pencil, and Claire plays with her hair as Max 20s the bonus.
- [14:57] <evilmonkey> Max lays his head over the back of his chair. Claire leans forward, and gives an answer, almost asking a question of the moderator. She is correct, and the lit garners St. John's 20.

Max has now sat all the way forward, listening to a literature tossup, but Carlo gets it, despite the moderator stumbling over the many missing words. Max sinks back into his chair, but St. John's cannot capitalize, gaining only 10.

- [15:05] <evilmonkey> Max has taken to writing notes and swiveling in his chair to keep himself engaged; it helps, and he picks up 10 on the history.

- [15:09] <evilmonkey> A religion tossup in disguise has Carlo pondering and running his finger over the buzzer, but Claire is the one who is able to get the tossup. On a history bonus, St. John's is able to get 20.
- [15:10] <evilmonkey> History, this time a tossup, and Claire (who has been listening intently) answers quite early. Math, one of the strengths of this St. John's team, sees snickering between Carlo and Deven as they 30

- [15:32] <evilmonkey> The tossup goes fairly long before Willie can ring in and end it mercifully; Hunter 20s their bonus on lit.
- [15:34] <evilmonkey> Music makes to the words for ten points before Willie buzzes in; "oh!" escapes Max's mouth as he realizes why Willie has buzzed, though Willie is unsure of himself, letting the answer out tentatively. He is right, but Hunter can manage only a 10 on the bonus.

- [15:54] <evilmonkey> The philosophy tossup sparks Zihan to buzz very early, but he is wrong. He shakes the buzzer limply, trying to figure where he went wrong, and Marianna chuckles as she figures it out. From about halfway through, Max has the buzzer up, but waits til the end to get the tossup. He 20s the bonus on music.
- [15:54] <evilmonkey> 255-165 going in to tossup 18

- [16:17] <evilmonkey> As a reminder, I am currently taking round 5 to catch up on stats. I've been informed that we will break for a barbecue dinner after the prelims are done, which will be after round 8.
- [16:17] <Itamar> alright
- [16:19] <evilmonkey> Dorman's victory over Rice saw them jump out to a 130-85 halftime lead; extend it to 90 points on the next question after Henry's lone neg of the match. At tossup 18, Dorman led 290-140. Rice managed to make it look respectable, 280-200 was the final.
- [16:21] <evilmonkey> Bellarmine's wins have come over Dorman (as blogged); Texas 275-110; and Seven Lakes, 320-130

- [16:23] <evilmonkey> LASA B is 3-0 against DCC (295-220); Harmony (350-110); and LASA C (220-175)
- [16:23] <evilmonkey> they've yet to face the murderers row of Schindler, Hunter, and St. John's
- [16:24] <evilmonkey> We'll hopefully have stats online within the next 15 minutes
- [16:25] <mib_mkscra> who is lasa b at the moment?
- [16:25] <evilmonkey> Here are the live-blogging options for next round: Northmont-Bellarmine; Texas-Dorman; LASA B-Schindler; DCC St. John's
- [16:26] <evilmonkey> LASA B: Arnav Sastry, Ben Jones, Ethan Russo, and Corin Wagen
- [16:26] <mib_mkscra> ok so their normal b team
- [16:26] <mib_mkscra> cool
- [16:26] <mib_mkscra> I vote lasa b - schindler
- [16:26] <HeyTanay> yup
- [16:26] <Itamar> seconded
- [16:27] <evilmonkey> Awesome. mib_mkscra, who are you?
- [16:27] <mib_mkscra> Thomas

- [16:30] <evilmonkey> stats
- [16:32] <mib_mkscra> thanks
- [16:34] <evilmonkey> consistent with the rest of the country, stats indicate that these questions are fairly difficult
- [16:35] <sinan> is it just the bonuses or are the tossups harder too?
- [16:36] <evilmonkey> I mean, as someone who is "bad" at quizbowl, the tossups seem to be going far longer for the good teams than they did last year.
- [16:38] <mib_mkscra> for comparison to last year
- [16:38] <mib_mkscra> http://www.texasquizbowl.org/d/12TI/FinalACF/
- [16:39] <evilmonkey> Although, at this point, Rice is putting up slight higher PPG; OTOH, they have played lesser teams.

- [16:42] <evilmonkey> rounds have let out, people are moving
- [16:43] <evilmonkey> I asked Max how it feels to still be undefeated; he remarked "exciting."
- [16:43] <evilmonkey> he also noted that he really feels like this is his set.
- [16:44] <evilmonkey> This may be my last round live-blogging, as the moderators are beginning to feel the effects of fatigue
- [16:45] <Itamar> will you be switching in with one of them?
- [16:45] <evilmonkey> Yes; however, the mods I have talked with thus far have expressed a disinterest in live blogging.

- [16:46] <evilmonkey> Granted, this is now their 22nd round read in 22 hours.
- [16:49] <evilmonkey> LASA B has now entered the room; they now have 5 people, with Alex Denko taking the place of Corin in this round.
- [16:50] <evilmonkey> LASA B and Max Schindler have confirmed that they each enter the round sitting at 4-0
- [16:52] <evilmonkey> not quite Sinan's skittles from last year, Arnav claims the reason for his success is his Advil.
- [16:53] <evilmonkey> It has been noted that among the redeeming features of the set are the excellently written science.
- [16:54] <evilmonkey> and we begin!

- [16:54] <evilmonkey> History, and Ben buzzes in, with disdain in his voice for the ease of the question
- [16:55] <evilmonkey> Religion; the first two parts fall easily, and the third part has max smiling and bobbing his head as LASA completes the 30

- [16:58] <evilmonkey> 10 points on the science bonus for Max, who wants LASA's religion bonus. Kwartler, who is moderating remarks that he can "lame" that bonus.
- [16:58] <evilmonkey> following on an earlier discussion of TRASH

- [16:59] <evilmonkey> Max gets the tossup, and is rewarded with music; he seems pained at missing the first part, and ends up with 10 on the bonus
- [17:01] <evilmonkey> Music is the next tossup, and Max gets it. He brings his buzzer to his face, and looks skyward as the first two parts of an econ bonus fall dead, but manages to scrape 10 off the third part.
- [17:02] <evilmonkey> History goes to LASA B. Ben taps his face and flicks his ear as they 20 a lit bonus.
- [17:03] <evilmonkey> Alex, who yet to answer, is wearing shorts, indicative of the warm Texas weather. He then buzzes and gets the lit, and are rewarded with a relatively easy philosophy bonus.
- [17:03] <evilmonkey> but stumble on the final part, earning only 20

- [17:06] <evilmonkey> A philosophy tossup that seems a bit easy for Regionals; Max still manages to neg it, and a couple of seconds after the end Ethan decides to buzz in and say the answer.
- [17:06] <evilmonkey> The bonus comes and goes, with more answer lines WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS
- [17:06] <Itamar> what are you doing max
- [17:07] <evilmonkey> Trash goes to the end of the question before Arnav picks it up. It has nothing to do with the topic of the back chalkboard, Battle Toads.
- [17:09] <evilmonkey> LASA B is able only to get 10 on the bonus. On tossup 10, a history tossup goes to LASA B, who then comments about how their packet had every other question written in a different font.
- [17:09] <evilmonkey> at the half Max has 55, LASA B 170
- [17:09] <Itamar> ouch
- [17:11] <evilmonkey> Tossup 11 is pretty difficult history; after Alex's guess is wrong, Max can do nothing but offer "Smith"
- [17:12] <evilmonkey> Tossup 12 has gone on way to long for Max, who buzzes in "alright", takes a full 5 seconds, and then gets the religious figure; he then 20s the bonus.
- [17:12] <evilmonkey> stats are updated; as mentioned, they can be found here:
- [17:12] <evilmonkey> http://people.tamu.edu/~seamus/tournament_standings.html
- [17:13] <evilmonkey> Max gets the mythology bonus; the content of the bonus amuses Max, who rests his hands in his hair, but he is only able to get 10
- [17:14] <evilmonkey> 105-170 after 13
- [17:15] <evilmonkey> after being given "doubly-eponymous", Max buzzes with in with a single physicist; when prompted, he seems like he'll fail, but at the last second pulls the answer
- [17:15] <evilmonkey> he then 10s a bonus on american history
- [17:17] <evilmonkey> Literature goes all the way to the end, when Max outbuzzes Alex for the tossup; Alex goes to slam his buzzer, but thinks better of it, and sets it down gently

- [17:19] <evilmonkey> Ben twists the buzzer cord around his hand, seemingly uninterested, in sharp contrast to Schindler, who has both fingers hovering over the bonus. Hard film goes dead without even an offering from Max though. He comes back by first-lining myth, 10ing the bonus to take the lead with 4 to go.

- [17:20] <evilmonkey> I appreciate all the math at this tournament; so does Max, apparently, as he gets the tossup; he 20s physics, but he seems unstoppable at this point
- [17:20] <evilmonkey> 205-170
- [17:22] <evilmonkey> Art goes all the way, and after the giveaway, everyone drops buzzers.
- [17:22] <evilmonkey> Max calls timeout - 35 pt difference with 1 question to go
- [17:22] <evilmonkey> he paces around the room for 15 seconds, sits down, tells LASA B "you guys got this".
- [17:23] <evilmonkey> Max buzzes - correct! and the he gets 10 on the bonus, failing at "do you remember this from SCT" bowl
- [17:23] <evilmonkey> 225-170, Schindler remains undefeated.

- [18:07] <HeyTanay> yeah, it seems agreed that this is a harder Regionals set than most
- [18:07] <ndesai> ankit told me this year's acfreg is harder than ever
- [18:08] <evilmonkey> A&M was leading Bellarmine after 4 tossups, causing their coach to leave the room
- [18:08] <evilmonkey> Bellarmine negged those first 4
- [18:08] <HeyTanay> haha
- [18:09] <evilmonkey> however, the rest of the round went true to form, and Bellarmine won 270-60

- [18:23] <evilmonkey> I'm going to find Rice A - Bellarmine
- [18:24] <Itamar> okay
- [18:24] <evilmonkey> Its apparently bonus 3, and Bellarmine controls a film bonus
- [18:25] <evilmonkey> They get 10, and lead 110-0
- [18:25] <evilmonkey> Philosophy; Bellarmine sits motionless as Victor bobs in his chair
- [18:26] <evilmonkey> all vie for the tossup, and victor wins the race, but negs; Sameer cleans it up at the end.
- [18:26] <evilmonkey> biology, with Abhishek and Sameer collaborating
- [18:27] <evilmonkey> they get 10. Henry and Victor are scribbling notes less than furiously, and Victor reclines. Ved and Sameer's buzzers at the ready, Sameer gets the tossup.
- [18:28] <evilmonkey> upon here the bonus, Sameer forms an "o" with his mouth and utters the, and holds his buzzer out as he pulls the answer. Bellarmine 20s the bonus
- [18:28] <Itamar> what tossup was that?
- [18:28] <evilmonkey> tossup 5
- [18:29] <evilmonkey> and hear, not here, of course
- [18:29] <evilmonkey> Sameer gets tossup 6 on astronomy
- [18:29] <evilmonkey> something geosciency, and Bellarmine gets 20
- [18:30] <evilmonkey> ah, my bad, Rice led 110-0 after 3
- [18:30] <evilmonkey> and Bellarmine controlled bonus 4
- [18:30] <evilmonkey> so it is now 110-95, Rice A

- [18:30] <evilmonkey> sorry for the confusion
- [18:30] <Itamar> oh okay, I was about to say
- [18:31] <evilmonkey> Rice gets the trash, from Victor; listening to a history bonus, a red sweater clad henry's eyes reflect a man who knows things. He twenty's that bonus.
- [18:44] <evilmonkey> Tossup 16, 5 to go. Sameer and Henry, buzzers at ready. Henry cocks his hand, but Sameer buzzes first. Correct on the history, and they are awarded a social science bonus.
- [18:45] * mib_152oh1 (Mibbit@cloak-34A5D9C2.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [18:45] <evilmonkey> Philosophy, rather, they 10
- [18:46] <evilmonkey> Tossup 17; Rice leads 240-160
- [18:47] <evilmonkey> Biology. It goes to the end, and Henry seems unconcerned. Another tossup for Victor, and another bonus controlled Rice. Biology again. Easy 10, and two fairly difficult parts that Rice cannot answer.
- [18:47] <evilmonkey> 260-160 with 3 to go.
- [18:47] <evilmonkey> Score-check
- [18:48] <evilmonkey> the score posted previously is correct; Victor negs on a wild guess
- [18:49] <evilmonkey> Sameer picks up a tossup that is quite easy at the end.
- [18:49] <evilmonkey> and they 20 religion
- [18:50] <evilmonkey> Hiep has apparently not silenced his phone, and it rings again
- [18:50] <evilmonkey> 260-190
- [18:50] <Itamar> they need some great bonuses
- [18:51] <evilmonkey> and the game slips away from Rice, who gets the lit tossup, and Henry's eyes light up at the bonus topic
- [18:51] <evilmonkey> they manage to 20, with a pretty hard 3rd part preventing the 30
- [18:52] <evilmonkey> Last tossup is negged by Henry, and Sameer picks it up
- [18:53] <evilmonkey> and the bonuses wouldn't have been great, as said bonuses didn't exist in this packet
- [18:53] <evilmonkey> as in, they packet had 18 bonuses
- [18:54] <Itamar> say what

- [19:51] <evilmonkey> I'll keep it to categories, Susan
- [19:51] <susan> okay, thank you.
- [19:52] <evilmonkey> Steve is explaining what is happening; later tonight, the winner will be playing the top 4 teams from the other pool, the loser, the bottom 4 teams
- [19:52] <evilmonkey> Tossup 1, myth. All the DCC players are hunched over their desks
- [19:53] <evilmonkey> Zihan looks down in thought; upon hearing some more familiar clues, every looks up from the floor. Collin wins the race, and DCC gets the bonus.
- [19:54] <evilmonkey> DCC maintains their pose as they listen to lit, and 30 the bonus.
- [19:54] <evilmonkey> They do not relax as we begin tossup 2
- [19:55] <evilmonkey> for hunter, Marianna and Wilton strike more relaxed poses, and Wilton gets the history tossup.
- [19:55] <evilmonkey> even in a bonus they do not control, DCC has not relaxed, and Collin is using the opportunity to take in more caffiene.
- [19:56] <evilmonkey> Hunter 20s the bonus, also history.
- [19:56] * RminusQ (~chatzilla@cloak-A627B7F2.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #TexasInvitational
- [19:57] <evilmonkey> 3rd tossup is literature. Zihan puts a hand over his face, and Collin and brandon also cover their mouths. Nameless DCC dude buzzes incorrectly at the end, and Marianna gets it for hunter.
- [19:57] <evilmonkey> Mythology Bonus, and hunter 20s
- [19:58] <evilmonkey> The DCC players are on the edge of their seats as they listen to the art tossup.
- [19:59] <evilmonkey> and, after the "For Ten Points", DCC gets the tossup. Social Science is their bonus - 10 on the bonus.
- [20:01] <evilmonkey> Willie ceases twirling his pen. Where DCC is inching ever closer to the moderator, Hunter seems to relax with each tossup. Marianna negs, despite being on the right track, and DCC picks it up.
- [20:02] <evilmonkey> The music bonus is 20d. Tossup 5 is buzzer raced in the room, and Willie fist bumps Marianna after he picks up the bio.
- [20:03] <evilmonkey> Hunter manages only to 10 the bonus.
- [20:04] <evilmonkey> DCC realizes the subject of the history tossup, and his answer makes sense to all others. They 10 the bonus.
- [20:06] <evilmonkey> History tossup is buzzed early by Collin and Zihan. Collin seems aghast at the answer, but he is negged. He lodges a protest
- [20:07] <evilmonkey> Marianna looks over at Willie sheet; and DCC protests not only the question, but that their opponent was conferring. Fontenot has gone to call Kwartler, who is more familiar with ACF rules.
- [20:09] <evilmonkey> they are going to continue until the half, read the bonus for hunter, and have further consultations at the half.
- [20:09] <susan> Substantive conferring refers to verbal, written or analogous communication among team members that can convey information pertinent to what the possible answer to the question is. Any instance of illegal conferring will be treated as a wrong answer; it will disqualify the conferring team from that tossup, and it will earn a neg-five if the other team has not already buzzed incorrectly and...
- [20:09] <susan> ...the question was not complete.
- [20:09] <susan> fyi

- [20:09] <evilmonkey> The science bonus is unknown to all members of hunter, and their pencils work across the paper as a result.
- [20:10] <evilmonkey> Thank you susan; I will convey that information at the half.
- [20:10] <evilmonkey> The music tossup is negged by Willie, who seems disappointed in himself.
- [20:11] <evilmonkey> DCC picks it up; Collin knows generally what he should answer for the history bonus, but DCC is unable to pull the name. They 10 that bonus.
- [20:13] <evilmonkey> A physics tossup agitates Wilton, but it is Brandon who gets it. As the fine arts bonus is read, Wilton purses his lips, clearly not enthused.
- [20:13] <evilmonkey> We have reached the half. If everything stands, DCC 145, Hunter 90.

- [20:18] <MattBo> is conferring a thing that can be protested
- [20:18] <MattBo> because I'm pretty sure that's moderator discretion and therefore unprotestable
- [20:19] <evilmonkey> and we lost power!
- [20:19] <evilmonkey> oh, just lost lights because of lack of motion
- [20:20] <evilmonkey> 20 points on the bonus for DCC, whose fine arts knowledge earned them points on the last tossup
- [20:20] <RminusQ> i believe so, matt, though i'm not a rules expert. that seems very discretiony to me.
- [20:20] <MattBo> ok, yeah
- [20:21] <MattBo> it's not at all protestable
- [20:21] <evilmonkey> it wasn't a protest, per se; Fontenot had also noted the action in question, but wanted to double-check whether the action should have been called as conferring.
- [20:21] <MattBo> "5. Nothing else is protestable, including but not limited to: judgment calls of any kind such as calling time, whether a tossup had begun before an accidental buzz as described in E.11, whether verbal conferring occurred, or the failure of the question to require a prompt on an opposing team’s answer."
- [20:21] <MattBo> what?
- [20:21] <MattBo> that's absurd, but whatever.
- [20:21] <evilmonkey> it was independent of DCC pointing it out.
- [20:21] <susan> oddly, the rules point out only that verbal conferring is not protestable
- [20:21] <MattBo> right (though it says "not limited to")
- [20:22] <evilmonkey> Hunter got the tossup, and Wilton can only pull one part of the science bonus.
- [20:22] <MattBo> fontenot should have just marked Hunter wrong but whatever
- [20:22] <evilmonkey> Physics tossup - Wilton's buzz causes Brandon to jump, and he gets it.
- [20:23] <evilmonkey> Its unclear, Matt; they've asked me not to speculate about what the resolution is. But there is good reason for it to be in question.
- [20:23] <evilmonkey> DCC gets the next tossup
- [20:24] <MattBo> arrrgh
- [20:24] <MattBo> there's no way to resolve that fairly
- [20:25] <evilmonkey> Thankfully, I'm the only person in the room who has any connection to either team in the room, and that only in the form of being pounded repeatedly in high school by DCC.
- [20:25] <evilmonkey> DCC 20s the bonus, and Mark of DCC stops leaning over his desk to answer a lit tossup.
- [20:26] <evilmonkey> 10 on the bonus for DCC; Collin is a bit miffed at himself for missing the part
- [20:27] <evilmonkey> the back legs of brandon's chair are the ground as he rocks forward, but it is Paul who gets the art.
- [20:28] <evilmonkey> 20 for DCC on the bonus; 255-140, DCC, with 3 questions to go
- [20:28] <evilmonkey> it seems unlikely that the ruling will matter at all
- [20:29] <evilmonkey> DCC gets the next tossup, and it appears that Hunter will be relegated to the bottom bracket
- [20:30] <evilmonkey> They 30 the bonus. Paul has finally relaxed, and Mark follows, but Collin and Brandon, smelling blood, are ready to pounce
- [20:31] <evilmonkey> and Brandon gets the tossup, on history; literature is the bonus category. Collin states the obvious, trying to be helpful, and DCC can't get the third part. However, they 20
- [20:33] <evilmonkey> Math tossup is answered by Wilton, but it is too little, too late; DCC will win, 325 to 150.
- [20:35] <evilmonkey> Thanks everyone for listening. I believe that the next rounds no longer feature byes, so I will be moderating
