Revision as of 20:10, 30 November 2013
Chicago Open (or CO) is a summer open tournament held annually at the University of Chicago, generally occurring in the last week of July or first week of August. Its most distinguishing feature is its extremely high difficulty (usually more difficult than the year's ICT or ACF Nationals), which usually makes the Chicago Open set the most challenging of the calendar year.
The first Chicago Open was held in 1999 as the successor to Virginia Open, a similar tournament held at Virginia in 1997 and 1998. Its most recent edition was edited by Matt Bollinger.
A true open tournament, Chicago Open attracts current college players, retired or graduated players, and, occasionally, ambitious high school players. Participants generally play on mixed teams not limited by school affiliation. In recent years, the tournament has been a full round-robin among all participating teams, which can last well into the evening. The combination of the tournament's extreme difficulty and deep field makes the assembly of a winning CO team one of the most challenging accomplishments in quizbowl.
Chicago Open typically occurs alongside several side events, including a Trash tournament and subject tournaments in science, history, and literature. The number and placement of CO side events is an open question for the future as the main tournament gets longer and more grueling.
