TU13. Vardhan receives a directed prompt and figures it out. Power on that science! 20 on the bonus, and St. Mark's is starting to pull away here. @hohschools 180–@SMQuizBowl 340. @PACENSC #NSC2024
PACE NSC retweeted
I now have Heights (Houston, TX) vs. Hoover A (AL) playing for 14th place!
Isaac opens the scoring for Hoover on social science, and they get 10 on a science bonus, 20-0.

In a moment, I'll be covering our "final": the dramatic third-place game between @hohschools (#SSNCT champions) and @SMQuizBowl (#HSNCT runners-up). Best of luck to both teams! @PACENSC #NSC2024

Final score Winston Churchill A 440 - Hoover A 180

Both teams still have a game for final placement

I'm in Lake Anne B, and along with @PACENSC_KR will be following a 4-way tie for 12th place! I have Winston Churchill A (Potomac, MD) and Hoover A (AL) in this room, he has Innovation Academy A (GA) vs. Heights (TX)

I’ll be continuing to follow Innovation A for their two placement matches. First is a match against Heights (TX). Winner plays another match for 12th and looser plays for 14th.

TU 20: Churchill negs this lit tossup. Pulled by Innovation towards the end. 20 on the geography bonus
Final score: 410-210 Churchill

TU19. Charles buzzes in, nearly times out, but finally spits out an answer. It's incorrect. Sohum has the answer.... but St. Mark's misses the first lit part. Which means: @StationQuizbowl WINS #NSC2024! Barrington 370–St. Mark's 310. @PACENSC
PACE NSC retweeted
Just 20 on the literature bonus, 370-310. Barring any protests, Barrington are national champions.

19: Barrington misses the geography tossup and Sohum gets it! But they need all 30 now.

Alongside @PACENSC_CL, I'm covering St. Mark's vs. Barrington, a rematch of this year's HSNCT finals! Barrington wins the title outright with a win here, but St. Mark's has the ability to force a final.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: If @StationQuizbowl beats @SMQuizBowl in Round 16, the final game of superplayoffs, THEY WILL WIN #NSC2024, with no need for a first-place final. This game is also a rematch of the #HSNCT final. @PACENSC
