Quiz 17 w/Dr. Knapp:



KS vs NY vs TN


Moment of truth for Kansas, who picked up a loss last round. 

I would say this is the end of the road for them here, but both New York and Tennessee are error and upset prone. 

Tennessee, in route to the final quiz yesterday, lost in their very first quiz. 

New York finished, disappointingly, tied for 14th yesterday.
So it's not like anyone is safe here.

Timeout Kansas. Tennessee had a great run there to pull away. 

If I'm Kansas, I'm hoping that Tennessee continues to jump, because there's no way they can beat New York in a one-on-one contest.


Q11: 20 for NY off a KS miss. 

Q12: 20 for NY off a TN miss.

Q13: Errors by both KS and TN give NY a free question. 
NY is now 70 up on KS. 
NY gets the follow up to move up 90 on KS, and cut TN's lead to 20.

Q14: Kansas misses a free. TN gets the follow up.

Q15: 20 for NY. Kansas is eliminated.


Score after 15: KS 20 NY 130 TN 140


Q16: 20 for NY. The fight is now for the high, which, as we all know, at AACS, is very important.

Q18: 20 for TN off a NY miss. TN is up by 40.

Q19: 20 for NY. 

Q20: 20 for NY to force a tiebreaker. 


Q21: Tiebreaker by Kelton on TN to get the win, and position themselves well for the next few quizzes.


Final Score: KS 20 NY 200 TN 180


Props to Kansas, who finished 0-2-2, which is better than almost every other first time team.

Hopefully, they'll be encouraged by that and come back next year.
