Now in the southwest, Andrea would be happy to moderate for some tournaments.  Email her.

Experience:
President, U Delaware Academic Competition Club, 1994-1997
TD, 1st Blue Hen Buzzer Bash, 1996
Extensive experience moderating for Princeton, Penn, and
Swarthmore (1995-1998), both hs and collegiate tourneys

Moderated U of Illinois Salute to Mediocrity and NAQT midwest sectionals (1998)
Moderated ACF Nationals, U of Chicago, 1999

Location: Boston, MA

Travel radius: limited (I have no car!)

Availability: Varies given my work schedule.  The more notice the better. Experience: I've played in various capacities since junior high. I've read at a number of tournaments over the years, including the Terrier Tussle, Penn Bowl, NAQT Conference, Sectionals, and ICT, CBI Regionals, TRASH regionals and TRASHionals, QOTC, and so on.  I've been told by some players that I sound like Casey Kasem (still not sure how to take that). 

Pronunciation: Pretty good with most languages (I can at least wing it with conviction), Chinese dialects offer the biggest problem for me.

Location:  Kalamazoo, Michigan

Travel radius: Negotiable (the closer, the better, but can occasionally do a long road trip given plenty of notice)

Availability: Sporadic but increasing.  (Crash space appreciated!)

Formats: NAQT, ACF, invitationals, trash; also college based HS formats.  Prefer TDs with a sense of humor.  :-) 

Experience:  I've been reading multiple formats since 1993, and have done a number of playoff games.  I'm also a NAQT member/writer/editor.

Toughest moment:  Kept a straight (but not narrow!) face while reading John Sheahan's sexual-combinatorics bonus at the '95 ACF Regionals in Chicago.

Specialties:  Bashing out passable pronunciations in languages I don't really know; buzzer checks (optional, of course!)

Homepage: http://unix.cc.wmich.edu/~s8stahlh/

Location: Washington, PA (Pittsburgh area)

Travel radius: 3 hours.  More (perhaps considerably more) if I know people at the tournament or in the local area to visit/hang out with.

Availability: Most weekends; being a college faculty member, I have no problems leaving work early on Friday and getting to the tournament site in time for Friday evening competition.  I'm less available during the fall semester because I'm a huge fan of the Penn State women's volleyball team, so I go to State College on weekends when they have home matches. 

Formats/Experience: I've read for every format, including CBI regionals, NAQT nationals, and invitationals in every style; at both the college and high school level.  I prefer formats other than ACF, but that's negotiable.  I've been moderating for about ten years, since my undergraduate playing days.  At tournaments I usually get compliments on my moderating skill.  I do well pronouncing most languages except Latin.

Metro DC extended.  Will go farther for particularly interesting tournaments or if good perks are offered, but work responsibilities generally preclude Friday/Saturday tournaments out of the immediate DC area (or limit me to reading on Saturday only).  Any format is fine, but I might be playing, rather than moderating, for trash and some Masters tournaments.

the mid 90s at College Park); moderated at numerous invitationals, most often 
at Terrapin and GW's invitational (now known as JCV, but I was there before 
the name change).

Location: Dayton, Ohio

Travel Radius: My situation -- I use an electric powered wheelchair, and do not drive. My wife does the driving, and is an experienced CBI judge, to boot :^) So, my particular travel requirement is this -- with place to stay (handicap accessible room w/bed(s) for two), 3 hours' radius. Without overnight accommodations, 1 hour drive (Dayton, Columbus, Cincy, etc.). It should go without saying, but the competition venue needs to have accessible entry/exit points for my chair :^)

Availability: Most weekends. I work a Sun - Thu shift, my wife works a regular Mon - Fri. That leaves us open to work Fri evening/ Sat day tourneys no problem. I can take a limited amount of Sundays off if
advance notice of at least 3 weeks is given.

Formats/Experience: Currently advisor and coach to Wright State University Academic Quiz Team, staff member (Help Desk Analyst) at WSU.  Played on 2 College Bowl teams in Ohio in '84-'86, '88-'90, moderator
at campus tournaments, CBI Regionals (Region 7) in 2002 and again in 2003. Although comfortable with CBI format, would love to try other formats (NAQT, ACF, TRASH, High School). Can be up and running very
quickly, need only a briefing of the rules. Very quick turn-around on matches read for; at 2002 CBI Regionals, went frequently back-to-back, sometimes 6 or so matches in a row, with no loss of quality or speed. Chosen to moderate finals round of CBI Regionals (Region 7) in 2003 by decision of the teams involved. Excellent pronunciation and enunciation, good with foreign pronunciations.

Special Bonus: As mentioned above, my wife was a judge and scorekeeper
at the 2002 and 2003 CBI Regionals, though prefers judging if possible.
A one-two knockout punch for the price of one! :^)
