  I recommend the BBC Global News Podcast and any of the Economist podcasts, with the speed cranked to at least 2x to keep/enhance your listening skill at national pace -- especially if you aren't exposed to that level of speaking speed at your local tournaments during the regular season.
  Topic: Indiana 2019-2020
  Are any of the schools on the IASP Confirmed list near Fort Wayne or generally in that corner of Indiana? I'm running an event on 185A at Hicksville, Ohio -- just over the border -- and am holding the final spot for an Indiana school if they want to claim it and are new to pyramidal. I contacted IAS...

  Topic: Outreach Advice Wanted
  Re: Outreach Advice Wanted
  It's simply the Hicksville Invitational. This was the fourth year running, we drew 24 teams which was the max I wanted. We had two schools from Michigan come down.
  A little further (one county) into the state is Pettisville -- I'll be running Petti Warz 2 on March 2 using IS-181.

  My experience with Indiana is limited, but I'm going to assume that there are many schools that would qualify as small like there are in Ohio. The most success I've had in Ohio is to reference the teams that have been able to get to SSNCT and, even in their first appearances there, had success. Then...
  Case Western Reserve ticks many of those boxes, and is easier to get to both in terms of flights and ground transportation from the airport. I don't speak for the CWRU team, of course, but I would happy to initiate a conversation if there's interest. I also don't speak for anyone other than myself r...
  Announcing a change such as this after the season has started should mean that such change would not be effective until the start of the following competition year. It sounds like a solution to a problem no one has. I look forward to seeing more information on why this is deemed necessary as well as...

  Ohio will be represented by 24 teams (possibly 27 if the standbys clear) in the public class and 7 in the open. Once again, the line is led by Ottawa Hills, but this time they will have company. Cloverleaf, which lost enough enrollment to get under the bar this year, went 5-5 at last year's HSNCT an...

  Topic: Travel to HSNCT
  Fly. As someone who has done that drive (and also drove to Dallas for that HSNCT), it's best avoided if possible. You also get the bonus experience of the escalator from the MARTA station at the mall connected to the tournament hotel, lovingly referred to by more than one NAQT staffer as "that ...

  Greg, I notcied that Van Wert hasn't applied for SSNCT yet even though they were quite competitive when we played them at the Hicksville Tournament. Do you know why they haven't registered yet? Do they not plan on attending? I haven't heard from Van Wert much at all since Hicksville. Also, since my...

  Ottawa Hills A leads the line for Ohio. On IS-158 in league play, they averaged 18 ppb and broke 500 (over 24 tossups) 3 times in 7 matches. I always want to see them play more, but it never seems to hurt them when this tournament comes around. Newbury returns most of the team that finished t-25 las...

  As someone who was very much in favor of SSNCT's creation, and who runs a number of events to allow both charter and non-charter schools to qualify for it, I would like to contribute. I believe the restriction on private schools at SSNCT is valid and should continue. Regarding charters, my experienc...
