The 1999 University of Chicago quiz bowl team won 1999 College Bowl Nationals, 1999 ACF Nationals and 1999 ICT. The team featured first-year grad student Andrew Yaphe, alongside Ryan Scranton, Sarah Bagby, Jeffrey Bennet, and Matthew Gealy (and perhaps others who played in place of one or more of the above at ICT or CBI) [1].
Recently, Yaphe has claimed that this team was the most dominant quizbowl team of his career, compared at least to the field it had to play [2].
