A text-based quizbowl packet reader and database created by Geoffrey Wu,

with contributions from Brian Lai, Ryan Rosenberg, and Caden Haustein. The python API wrapper module was created by Rohan Arni.

Packets are collected from quizbowlpackets.com and parsed into JSON files using a Python-based quizbowl packet parser. If you notice any issues with packets or categorization, please report the question or contact me on discord at thedoge#1189. Packets are numbered numerically, if possible, and otherwise by alphabetical order of their names.

Feel free to contribute to the source code on Github.
