Texas Open

Postby Djones » Thu Apr 02, 2015 9:52 am

This weekend, Northmont competed in the Texas Open, a two-day event at Trinity University in San Antonio. With the exception of a couple of teams, every team there was a top-100 team, or a hybrid team of the best players from several schools.

Northmont finished 6th on the MUT set on Saturday, losing a couple of close games, but knocking off #6 Chattahoochee twice. (Saturday stats: http://www.texasquizbowl.org/d/@150328TI6MUT/)

On Sunday, Northmont finished 2nd on the NAQT D2 ICT set, losing in the championship game to #1 LASA A in a tiebreaker after we led by 70 with 2 to play. We dropped two games early, but in the double elimination playoff, we were able to knock off #2 DCC, #4 Auburn, and a ridiculous hybrid team of the best player from #14 IMSA and the two best players from #24 U Chicago Lab twice. (Sunday stats: http://www.texasquizbowl.org/d/@150329TI6NAQT/)

This is the second time our team has played this event and the third time Sam has played (he flew down and played solo last year). It is always a lot of fun to play 28 games in 36 hours and is excellent nationals prep. Didn't know we would be playing the hybrid teams (there were 4 total) until we got down there, so that was a bit of a surprise.

Congrats to Northmont; way to represent the Buckeye State in Texas!

On a side note, the 'hell is up with hybrid teams being a thing? Is there no such thing as school pride anymore?
