Stats from Tippecanoe XV and the various ACF Falls have been added. What’s the most important thing that we can take away from these results?

State College is really, really good at quiz bowl. This is, of course, not a revelation. Going into this weekend, the top PPBs on “regular season” questions (read: IS sets, HSAPQ sets, DAFT) were:

Thomas Jefferson A, 25.17 ppb, HSAPQ 16
Hunter A, 25.13 ppb, DAFT
Bellarmine A, 25.04, IS96
Detroit Catholic Central A, 24.41, HSAPQ 16
Seven Lakes A, 24.37, HSAPQ 15

The point? State College put up 26.94 ppb on ACF Fall, nearly 2 ppb than any performance on easier questions.

I’m sure SC’s real A team (as seen at ACF Fall) will lose at some point this year; the level of play across the board has increased enough to make an undefeated run through the season overly difficulty.

In other news, teams tended to get pretty good boosts from ACF Fall performances. This can be seen in the debuts of Lisle and Pensacola and in the moves by Dorman B, Richard Montgomery A, St. Joseph’s  and, to a lesser extent, Dorman A (their ACF Fall ppb would crack that list of 5 up above, by the way) and Seven Lakes A.

New teams: Lisle, Pensacola, Walnut Hills B, Northmont B

Bumped out: MAST, Chaska, Caesar Rodney, DAR
