QEMS3

A quizbowl question management system — write, edit, and packetize tournament question sets, all in one place.

An evolution of QEMS2, originally developed by Jerry Vinokurov — still available at qems2.grapesmoker.net.

Write questions — compose ACF-style tossups and bonuses with a rich-text editor that produces standard quizbowl markup (paste straight from Word or Google Docs).
Edit & review — comment on questions and answer lines, resolve discussions, lock finished questions, and follow an activity feed.
Manage distributions — set per-category and per-subcategory quotas and watch them fill as questions come in.
Packetize — auto-distribute questions into packets, then fine-tune with a drag-and-drop packet grid and a document view.
Check quality — run a duplicate checker and a style checker before export.
Import & export — bring in material from TSV, JSON (YAPP/MODAQ), .docx, or PDF, and export polished packets to Word.

Smarter packetization — an unpacketized pool, drag-to-place and swap, natural and custom packet ordering, and per-slot tools on the grid.
Polished Word export — packets in proper reading format, with open comments carried through as Word comments.
Packet → MP3 — generate an audio reading of a packet.
Playtesting — record buzzes and bonus conversion, including imports from a Discord playtest bot, linked to the exact question version played.
Better editing — moderator heads-ups for tricky answer lines, packet-level comments, and a cleaner document view.
