About The 99 Critical Shots In Quiz Bowl

A first textbook or coaches' playbook for quiz bowl, (academic competition, scholastic bowl, etc.) from middle school to first year of college competition. This book collects hundreds of best practices and strategies in quiz bowl, combining it with the analysis of thousands of quiz bowl questions."A shot is a connected set of facts relating to a subject which covers 90% of the possible answers and clues that can be given in a bonus question where the bonus’ theme is that subject." Using this idea of clustering information that would commonly appear in bonus questions, The 99 Critical Shots of Quiz Bowl shows how the patterns created as writers and editors work to complete quiz bowl questions and tournaments can be exploited by observant players.Alongside advice for new players to improve their game, the book acts as a guide for new coaches, and shows experienced players how to act as coaches for their less experienced teammates. The book shows tactics and strategies for improving team performance on bonus questions and predicting how choices made by writers and editors in one bonus can influence choices in other questions throughout the event.The 99 items highlighted for study in the second section were chosen to deliver a return on the investment of a player's studies over their entire playing career. Interspersed among the 99 "shots" are lessons about quiz bowl tendencies in writing, models of entire types of questions players will face in game situations, and techniques and exercises in writing and research designed to improve their play, and that of their teammates. --Dwight Kidder is a founding member of National Academic Quiz Tournaments, LLC, and has been an advisor to quiz teams for over two decades.
