'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 35 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
Andrew is also known for his writing and editing, spearheading such well-received sets as the [[2014 Chicago Open]], the [[2017 ACF Regionals]], and the [[2018 ACF Nationals]].<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of two formerly annual UMN events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The Minnesota team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. In the 2010-11 season, he played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, Andrew won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT, and Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
==Post-college playing career==<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play a final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] was published, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]], and Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]]. <br />
<br />
In his post-playing career, Andrew has played many open tournaments with a loose collection of individuals known as "BHSU," often comprising Andrew, Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]]; Andrew has also played several pop culture tournaments with a team typically comprising Rob, [[Carsten Gehring]], and either [[Mike Cheyne]] or Sam Ross. <br />
<br />
From 2017-22, Andrew's BHSU teams finished no lower than 5th at Chicago Open. In 2019, Andrew won a mirror of [[Penn Bowl]] with Rob and Evan Brown. In 2021, he won the main site of [[Illinois Open]] with BHSU; in 2022, he won a local NASAT mirror with Rob.<br />
<br />

The '''Academic Competition Federation''' or '''ACF''' is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that produces college quizbowl questions and organizes tournaments for those questions. Founded as the [[Academic Competition Foundation]] in 1991, it changed its name to '''Academic Competition Federation''' in 1997. ACF runs [[ACF Fall]], [[ACF Winter]], [[ACF Regionals]], and [[ACF Nationals]], and it oversees the [[Carper Award]]. For more information on ACF, see their [http://acf-quizbowl.com/ website].<br />
<br />
ACF's extensive legacy on the game of [[quizbowl]] includes the [[ACF format]] (which outlines the general structure of a quizbowl match) and the [[ACF rules]] (which govern gameplay), which are widely used beyond the official scope of the organization. The catch-all term [[mACF]] refers to quizbowl tournaments and question sets that use the ACF format and rules, perhaps with slight modifications, or especially to make a broad distinction with other formats.<br />

==History==<br />
{{Intro}}<br />
<br />
===Discontent with College Bowl===<br />
<br />
In the mid-1980s, several schools began to take their participation in [[College Bowl]] seriously and prepare for College Bowl's regional and national tournaments by holding independent invitationals. Players quickly noticed that College Bowl's questions were not tailored to reward even minimal levels of effort at acquiring knowledge, but instead were aimed at entertaining a television audience, tricking good players into giving wrong answers in order to create "excitement," and generally making the spectator feel smarter than the players in order to keep people watching. After College Bowl went off the air for the final time in 1987, the rationale for undermining game fairness in order to reward home viewers evaporated.<br />
<br />
Just as the first stirrings of discontent with the questions were being noted, several scandals erupted which understandably upset serious players:<br />
*the 1988 College Bowl Regionals were found to have recycled many of their questions from the 1982 College Bowl Regionals. As unforgivable as this would be in a vacuum, the problem was compounded by one regional director handing out the 1982 Regionals as practice material to attending teams, rendering that region's tournament completely unplayable.<br />
*College Bowl began threatening the independent tournament circuit with lawsuits, claiming that College Bowl held a [[College Bowl copyright claim|copyright]] over the tossup/bonus format with buzzers. The [[Maryland]] team was threatened with disqualification from the 1989 College Bowl Regionals if they went ahead with hosting [[Terrapin]] that year, so they deaffiliated themselves from College Bowl in protest.<br />
*The 1983 and 1985 College Bowl Nationals were canceled, leaving teams with no opportunity at all to compete for a championship.<br />
<br />
In response to all of these concerns, [[Maryland]] and [[Tennessee]] stopped participating in College Bowl at all, an unheard-of decision when College Bowl was synonymous with the activity. A few years later, [[Georgia Tech]] followed. Further "de-affiliations," as the practice was called, continued every year. The difference in rules, participants, and question content became so great that, by 2000 or so, it was inappropriate to consider quizbowl and College Bowl to be the same activity, and they are now usually looked at as two separate games with some common features, played by an increasingly non-overlapping set of players.<br />
<br />
===The All American Invitational===<br />
<br />
According to the Georgia Tech website, that team won three "unofficial" quizbowl national championships in the pre-ACF era. It is unknown exactly what that refers to, but there was a "National Invitation Tournament" held at least in the two years when College Bowl Nationals were cancelled, and possibly in other years as well. A summer 1988 [http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~quizbowl/newsletters/Buzzer4.html newsletter] denotes Emory's All American Invitational, which took place on April 15-16, 1988, as "the national championship of academic buzzer competitions." The tournament was written entirely by [[Carol Guthrie]] and [[Don Windham]], who went on to play key roles in the original version of ACF. Georgia Tech defeated Emory to win it. This may have been the first-ever national championship outside of College Bowl. It is worth noting that, in a remarkable example of institutional continuity, the third-place scorer from the All American Invitational, [[Robert Trent]], also participated in the [[2007 ACF Nationals]] and many other important tournaments in-between. The AAI was run again in 1989 and 1990, and replaced by [[1991 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]] in 1991.<br />
<br />
Other proto-ACF events may include the [[Southeastern Invitational]] run by Berry College and its coach, [[Gordon Carper]]. As students at Berry, both [[Carol Guthrie]] and [[Don Windham]] were quizbowl players coached by Carper. Guthrie went on to become the most important figure in the first version of ACF, while her husband Windham was also involved in academic competition in the early 1990s as a player.<br />
<br />
===Academic Competition Foundation (1991-1997)===<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1990, Guthrie, then the coach of the Tennessee team, joined with Maryland team members [[John Nam]] and [[Ramesh Kannappan]] to found the Academic Competition Foundation. Presumably, this organization ran regional packet-submission tournaments in the 1991 and 1992 competition seasons, but that's unconfirmed (the tournament labeled 1992 ACF Regionals on the Stanford Archive is actually the 1993 Regionals). The one tournament that was certainly run in those first two years was the [[1991 ACF Nationals]], the first non-College Bowl event to unambiguously bill itself as a national championship. The tournament was won by the host Tennessee team over Georgia Tech. Departing from College Bowl's structure, the tournament featured untimed 20/20 games, a focus on academic content, an attempt to avoid "hoses" and riddle questions, a field open to multiple teams from each geographic region, and reasonable prices. However, at this early date, ACF still included variable-value bonuses, spelling questions, and other bad College Bowl mainstays.<br />
<br />
There were no ACF nationals in 1992, for reasons currently unknown. Beginning in 1993, Regionals and Nationals were run every year, and attracted an increasing amount of legitimacy in the quizbowl world. Starting in 1995, all ACF tournaments used 30-point bonuses exclusively, dumping the last vestige of College Bowl's gimmicky rules.<br />
<br />
"ACF versus College Bowl" became the defining argument on the quizbowl [[Usenet group]], as partisans of each format debated the merits of such College Bowl policies as timed matches, variable-value bonuses, single-team-per-region national tournaments, generally bad questions, and so forth. An undercurrent of debate about College Bowl's emphasis on trivia, current events, and popular culture versus the relative unimportance of those topics to ACF packets was also brewing at this time, as were concerns about question length and difficulty in ACF (belied then, as usual, by the high scoring which normally took place at ACF tournaments). Guthrie and Georgia Tech coach [[Jim Dendy]] edited most ACF events in the Foundation era, with Nam also editing the 1993 Nationals.<br />
<br />
Despite the antipathy between some supporters of the two "formats," the same team won both College Bowl and ACF Nationals two times at the height of the original ACF's popularity--[[1994 Chicago|Chicago]] in 1994 and [[1995 Harvard|Harvard]] in 1995. By 1996, ACF Nationals was attracting 40 teams, and appeared to be healthier than ever. However, after the 1997 Nationals, Guthrie posted [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.college.college-bowl/tree/browse_frm/thread/ef7cc2a0651e029d/eede5d5b7595aae5?rnum=1&_done=%2Fgroup%2Falt.college.college-bowl%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2Fef7cc2a0651e029d%2F4bd2138eca37dba1%3F#doc_eede5d5b7595aae5 this announcement] to the Usenet group, announcing that she and Dendy were each resigning to spend more time on personal life, and that ACF would go defunct.<br />
<br />
===Academic Competition Federation (1997-2001)===<br />
<br />
In addition to personal concerns, it may be the case that Guthrie saw ACF as superfluous following the first year of [[NAQT]]'s competition program in the 1997 season. NAQT was more organized than ACF in several respects: it had a formal membership structure, an actually incorporated business rather than ACF's ad-hoc financing, paid writers, and a product to sell other than its regional and national tournaments--specifically, the "invitational sets" which were originally marketed to colleges but became extremely popular (and much more competitively appropriate) with high schools soon afterwards. Most importantly, it was a well-attended, popular event run by former participants in the collegiate quizbowl circuit--in other words, it was what College Bowl never has been, and what ACF wanted to be.<br />
<br />
However, NAQT represented a regression to certain College Bowl-like features in its use of a timed game, pop culture- and current events-heavy question content, short tossups, and gimmicks such as the [[power]] tossup. In its first year, NAQT also used variable-value bonuses, though this practice was thankfully ended for the 1998 season. Perhaps sensing that NAQT would be a good replacement for College Bowl but a wanting substitute for ACF, [[Andrew Yaphe]] organized a "new" group, the Academic Competition Federation (a name often used interchangeably with the Academic Competition Foundation in the previous years), to continue running the Regional and National tournaments. [[John Sheahan]] and [[David Hamilton]] were also named as leaders of the new ACF.<br />
<br />
[[Matt Colvin]] edited the 1998 Regionals, the first tournament of the new ACF, while Sheahan edited the [[1998 ACF Nationals]]. In 1999, Regionals was edited by Hamilton, and Nationals by a collective including [[Brian Rostron]], [[Rick Grimes]], [[Marc Swisdak]], [[Albert Whited]], Sheahan, and [[Alice Chou]]. In 2000, Yaphe edited Regionals, and Hamilton Nationals. Regionals took place in mid-February of each year, and Nationals at the end of April.<br />
<br />
The 1999 Nationals saw the first presentation of the [[Carper Award]].<br />
<br />
===Into the Modern Era (2001-2007)===<br />
<br />
Following the meteoric rise to popularity of [[NAQT]], the decline into irrelevance of [[College Bowl]], and longstanding complaints, justified or not, about the difficulty of ACF, a decision was made in 2001 to focus great effort on the accessibility of Academic Competition Federation tournaments. [[Subash Maddipoti]] created perhaps the finest tournament to that time, the 2001 Regionals, which unusually ran in January. Nationals that year were also bumped up to March, and were again edited by David Hamilton. Despite the high quality and lower difficulty of the questions, only sixteen teams attended ACF Nationals in 2001, and the future of the format seemed tenuous.<br />
<br />
A brilliant way to bring in new teams and permanently dispel the notion that good questions had to be hard questions was conceived by [[Kelly McKenzie]], star player of the [[Kentucky]] team, who created and edited the first [[ACF Fall]] tournament, held in November 2001. Fall now serves as the kickoff of the serious competition season and is usually the first ACF event that a new quizbowl player encounters. It features difficulty noticeably lower than normal collegiate tournaments, without sacrificing the core aspects that make ACF what it is--academic content, high question-quality standards, packet-submission requirements, and the "[[gentlemen's agreement]]" style of eligibility rules. This three-tournament lineup continued through 2008, when the additional [[ACF Winter]] tournament was introduced. From 2001 to 2007, ACF's "organization" involved only a [http://www.acf-quizbowl.com website] (maintained by David Hamilton from 1997-2001, Jason Paik from 2001-2006, and Jerry Vinokurov 2006-present), and the individual tournament editors coordinating their events after being named by Yaphe at the beginning of the season.<br />
<br />
As College Bowl had virtually no supporters left in the quizbowl community by this time, such "[[format wars]]" as did occur now focused on the relative merits of NAQT and ACF. As most teams played in both formats, as opposed to choosing between College Bowl or ACF as in the past, there was less at stake in these discussions, and they were rarer and less vitriolic than the Usenet arguments.<br />
<br />
ACF continued to exist harmoniously with NAQT as the two organizations, formats, and national championships of collegiate academic quizbowl. Though its Nationals never approached the size of NAQT's, the continued viability of ACF was no longer regularly in doubt, largely thanks to the inherent appeal of ACF's academic content and to the outreach to new teams that ACF Fall represented.<br />
<br />
===The post-Yaphe Era and circuit standards (2007-2018)===<br />
<br />
Following the 2007 competition season, Andrew Yaphe announced that he would not be editing any ACF tournaments for the foreseeable future due to law school commitments. His last act before departing as ACF head was to confirm that [[Mike Sorice]], [[Matt Weiner]], and [[Chris Romero]] would be in charge of selecting the editing teams for Fall, Regionals, and Nationals respectively in the 2008 season. (Yaphe continued to serve as a prolific editor for [[NAQT]] and later played Nationals in 2009 and 2010.)<br />
<br />
In the 2007-2008 year, Fall continued to grow in popularity, Regionals dropped to below NAQT SCT in difficulty, and Nationals awarded the first-ever Undergraduate and Division II titles, awards which have continued in the years since. Shortly thereafter, [[CBI]] died permanently, leaving Fall and Division II SCT as the main introductory tournaments to the college game. Almost all active teams now play both of those events.<br />
<br />
The 2008-2009 season saw the appearance of a fourth tournament, [[ACF Winter]]. Though the tournament was meant to be a stepping stone between the difficulties of ACF Fall and ACF Regionals, Winter and Regionals targeted roughly the same "regular difficulty" level in both years that Winter was held <ref>[http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8792#p164588 Re: Global announcement: ACF Regionals 2010] by [[Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-TN)]] » Tue Dec 08, 2009 8:01 pm</ref><ref>[http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8792#p164862 Re: Global announcement: ACF Regionals 2010] by [[grapesmoker]] » Thu Dec 10, 2009 2:12 pm</ref> In the 2010-11 season, Winter was discontinued and the three-tournament structure of Fall, Regionals, and Nationals was re-instated.<br />
<br />
As time passes, the absence of alternatives led most college circuits to perceive the ACF style and distribution as the norm (NAQT's SCT and ICT being a prominent exception), and complaints about aberrant difficulty dwindled away. <br />
<br />
The new ACF rules included language which allows them to be used for any tournament which needs rules for a 20/20 untimed game, including high school tournaments, trash tournaments, or collegiate academic tournaments not affiliated with ACF. As such, a large number of invitationals across the country were and are understood at least implicitly to be using the ACF rules, and untimed 20/20 rounds with substantially academic content have won the day as the main form of quizbowl competition on the standard collegiate circuit.<br />
<br />
===Structural changes (2018-present)===<br />
<br />
In 2018, ACF began to move towards regularizing its officers and official structures so as to serve the community better and make best use of resources. For example, from 2012-2018 it instituted a policy of central payment (i.e. all teams attending an ACF tournament, wherever they may go, paid ACF's Treasurer directly, and hosts got their cut paid out to them ''after'' running the tournament); however, as ACF Fall grew too large, the policy reverted<ref>https://acf-quizbowl.com/hosting-guidelines/#payment-from-hosts-to-acf</ref> in 2018-2019.<br />
<br />
ACF instituted a number of structural changes to its constitution<ref>[http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22784 ACF Constitutional Changes and New Officers] by [[The King's Flight to the Scots]] » Thu Jun 06, 2019 8:02 pm</ref> after [[2019 ACF Nationals]]. It eliminated the Outreach officer position and created a Site Coordinator position to help hosts manage their sites and select correct packet-submission formats, taking those responsibilities away from the Communications officer. The editor-in-chief of ACF had also previously been the presiding head of ACF, in charge of calling ACF meetings; these duties were given to the new President position, which combined the old Meeting Chair position and the logistics duties of the editor-in-chief, both of which were eliminated.<br />

'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 35 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
Andrew is also known for his writing and editing, spearheading such well-received sets as the [[2014 Chicago Open]], the [[2017 ACF Regionals]], and the [[2018 ACF Nationals]].<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of two formerly annual UMN events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The Minnesota team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. In the 2010-11 season, he played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, Andrew won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT, and Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
==Post-college playing career==<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play a final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] was published, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]], and Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]]. <br />
<br />
In his post-playing career, Andrew has played many open tournaments with a loose collection of individuals known as "BHSU," often comprising Andrew, Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]]; Andrew has also played several pop culture tournaments with a team typically comprising Rob, [[Carsten Gehring]], and either [[Mike Cheyne]] or Sam Ross. <br />
<br />
From 2017-22, Andrew's BHSU teams finished no lower than 5th at Chicago Open. In 2019, Andrew won a mirror of [[Penn Bowl]] with Rob and Evan Brown. In 2021, he won the main site of [[Illinois Open]] with BHSU; in 2022, he won a local NASAT mirror with Rob.<br />

<hr />
<div>Analogous to [[Multi-championship achievements]], it is possible to recognize '''multi-editing achievements''' for editors who have worked on several major events. This page originally marked [[Andrew Hart]]'s attempt to categorize and recognize these multi-editing achievements for posterity, although others are welcome to coin their own multi-editing achievements (or add/update to the lists of people who have accomplished the existing ones).<br />
<br />
Unless otherwise stated, each list is presented in the order in which the accomplishment was achieved.<br />
<br />
==Triple Crown of Editing==<br />
<br />
The '''Triple Crown of Editing''' refers to editing each of the tournaments that make up quizbowl's [[Multi-championship achievements#Modern_Triple_Crown|Modern Triple Crown]]: [[ACF Nationals]], [[NAQT ICT]] (DI), and [[Chicago Open]]. Six editors are known to have completed the Triple Crown of Editing.<br />
<br />
===As head editor<ref>NAQT has two levels of set editing that, for most sets, are each equivalent to a circuit "head editor"; the head editor notations for NAQT events represent a best effort at determining which editorial positions are equivalent to full-set head-editor jobs, although they err on the side of crediting a person for head editor work. For circuit editing teams of three or fewer without a specified head editor, each editor was considered a head editor. Because NAQT does not publicly display editing information, years have not been included, pending permission, for the years before 2011. Although it may have sometimes done so before, after 2011, NAQT has generally recognized its SCT and ICT editors publicly following the events.</ref>===<br />

<br />
The '''Grand Slam of Editing''' refers to editing each of the four overall championships in quizbowl, which make up the [[Multi-championship achievements#Grand_Slam|Grand Slam]]: [[ACF Nationals]], [[ICT]] (DI), [[HSNCT]], and [[NSC]]. Because a comprehensive list of NSC editors does not appear to be publicly available, the lists of those who have achieved this accomplishment are likely not comprehensive and may be inaccurate. <br />
<br />

<br />
==ACF Editing Triple Crown==<br />
<br />
The '''ACF Editing Triple Crown''' refers to editing each of ACF's three flagship events [[ACF Fall]], [[ACF Regionals]], and [[ACF Nationals]]. It does not include [[ACF Winter]], which ACF ran in 2009-10 before canceling and has resumed running in 2020 (see '''ACF Editing Quadruple Crown''' below).<br />
<br />
===As head editor===<br />
<br />

* Many others have edited two of the three legs of the Triple Crown<br />
<br />
==ACF Editing Quadruple Crown==<br />
<br />
The '''ACF Editing Quadruple Crown''' refers to editing each of ACF's four tournaments: [[ACF Fall]], [[ACF Winter]], [[ACF Regionals]], and [[ACF Nationals]]. Because ACF Winter has only run three times, and had not run before 2009, the ACF Quadruple Crown is less attainable than the ACF Triple Crown.<br />
<br />
===As head editor===<br />
<br />
* [[Andrew Hart]]: Fall (2007, 2008*, 2013), Winter (2010), Regionals (2017), Nationals (2018, 2019*, 2021)<br />

<br />
==College Championship Four-Pack==<br />
<br />
The '''College Championship Four-Pack''' refers to editing each of the four annual DI qualifying and championship tournaments: [[ACF Regionals]], [[ACF Nationals]], [[SCT]], and [[ICT]].<br />

* [[Rob Carson]]: Regionals (2011, 2013*, 2019*), Nationals (2015*, 2016), SCT (2020), ICT (2021)<br />
<br />
===In the same year===<br />
<br />
No one has edited each Four-Pack event in the same year, but two editors have completed three of the four legs in a single year.<br />
<br />
===Near misses<ref>This list is probably not comprehensive</ref>===<br />
<br />
* [[John Lawrence]] (will complete by editing Nationals in 2022)<br />

* [[Seth Teitler]] (Nationals)<br />
* [[Matt Bollinger]] (Regionals)<br />
* [[Auroni Gupta]] (ICT)<br />
* [[Billy Busse]] (Regionals)<br />
<br />
==NAQT Championship Bingo==<br />
<br />
An '''NAQT Championship Bingo''' consists of editing each of NAQT's five annual spring championship sets: [[MSNCT]], [[SSNCT]], [[HSNCT]], [[ICT]] (DII), and [[ICT]] (DI). (The remaining NAQT championships are based on existing sets and do not involve significant independent editorial work.)<br />
<br />
[[Jeff Hoppes]], [[Seth Teitler]], and [[Samer Ismail]] are the only people to have completed an NAQT Bingo. <br />
<br />
==High School Championship Double==<br />
<br />
The '''High School Championship Double''' consists of editing both major overall high school championship sets: [[HSNCT]] and [[NSC]]. Listings are in alphabetical order and may not be comprehensive, especially for NSC, for which a comprehensive list of editors is not available.<br />
<br />

==Most times editing marquee college circuit events==<br />
<br />
These are possibly non-comprehensive attempts to list the people who have edited each marquee collegiate or open event 3+ times. Head editorships are denoted with an asterisk.<br />
<br />
===ACF Nationals<ref>This stretches back to 1999-2000, the first year listed on the [[ACF]] qbwiki page. It may not be comprehensive for editors who are not listed on ACF's member page (due to resigning) or on ACF's qbwiki page (which stops listing editors at 2014-15), or whose details are inaccurate on either source.</ref>===<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Analogous to [[Multi-championship achievements]], it is possible to recognize '''multi-editing achievements''' for editors who have worked on several major events. This page originally marked [[Andrew Hart]]'s attempt to categorize and recognize these multi-editing achievements for posterity, although others are welcome to coin their own multi-editing achievements (or add/update to the lists of people who have accomplished the existing ones).<br />

Unless otherwise stated, each list is presented in the order in which the accomplishment was achieved.<br />

The '''Triple Crown of Editing''' refers to editing each of the tournaments that make up quizbowl's [[Multi-championship achievements#Modern_Triple_Crown|Modern Triple Crown]]: [[ACF Nationals]], [[NAQT ICT]] (DI), and [[Chicago Open]]. Five editors are known to have completed the Triple Crown of Editing.<br />
<br />
===As head editor<ref>NAQT has two levels of set editing that, for most sets, are each equivalent to a circuit "head editor"; the head editor notations for NAQT events represent a best effort at determining which editorial positions are equivalent to full-set head-editor jobs, although they err on the side of crediting a person for head editor work. For circuit editing teams of three or fewer without a specified head editor, each editor was considered a head editor. Because NAQT does not publicly display editing information, years have not been included, pending permission, for the years before 2011. Although it may have sometimes done so before, after 2011, NAQT has generally recognized its SCT and ICT editors publicly following the events.</ref>===<br />

==ACF Editing Quadruple Crown==<br />
<br />
The '''ACF Editing Quadruple Crown''' refers to editing each of ACF's four tournaments: [[ACF Fall]], [[ACF Winter]], [[ACF Regionals]], and [[ACF Nationals]]. Because ACF Winter has only run three times, and had not run before 2009, the ACF Quadruple Crown is less attainable than the ACF Triple Crown.<br />

==NAQT Championship Bingo==<br />
<br />
An '''NAQT Championship Bingo''' consists of editing each of NAQT's five annual spring championship sets: [[MSNCT]], [[SSNCT]], [[HSNCT]], [[ICT]] (DII), and [[ICT]] (DI). (The remaining NAQT championships are based on existing sets and do not involve significant independent editorial work.)<br />
<br />
[[Jeff Hoppes]], [[Seth Teitler]], and [[Samer Ismail]] are the only people to have completed an NAQT Bingo. <br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Analogous to [[Multi-championship achievements]], it is possible to recognize '''multi-editing achievements''' for editors who have worked on several major events. This page originally marked [[Andrew Hart]]'s attempt to categorize and recognize these multi-editing achievements for posterity, although others are welcome to coin their own multi-editing achievements (or add/update to the lists of people who have accomplished the existing ones).<br />
<br />
Unless otherwise stated, each list is presented in the order in which the accomplishment was achieved (descending).<br />
<br />
==Triple Crown of Editing==<br />
<br />
The '''Triple Crown of Editing''' refers to editing each of the tournaments that make up quizbowl's [[Multi-championship achievements#Modern_Triple_Crown|Modern Triple Crown]]: [[ACF Nationals]], [[NAQT ICT]] (DI), and [[Chicago Open]]. Five editors are known to have completed the Triple Crown of Editing.<br />
<br />
===As head editor<ref>NAQT has two levels of set editing that, for most sets, are each equivalent to a circuit "head editor"; the head editor notations for NAQT events represent a best effort at determining which editorial positions are equivalent to full-set head-editor jobs, although they err on the side of crediting a person for head editor work. For circuit editing teams of three or fewer without a specified head editor, each editor was considered a head editor. Because NAQT does not publicly display editing information, years have not been included, pending permission, for the years before 2011. Although it may have sometimes done so before, after 2011, NAQT has generally recognized its SCT and ICT editors publicly following the events.</ref>===<br />

'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 33 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
Andrew is also known for his writing and editing, spearheading such well-received sets as the [[2014 Chicago Open]], the [[2017 ACF Regionals]], and the [[2018 ACF Nationals]].<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of two formerly annual UMN events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The Minnesota team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. In the 2010-11 season, he played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, Andrew won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT, and Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
==Post-college playing career==<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play a final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] was published, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]], and Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]]. <br />
<br />
In his post-playing career, Andrew has played many open tournaments with a loose collection of individuals known as "BHSU," often comprising Andrew, Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]]; Andrew has also played several pop culture tournaments with a team typically comprising Rob, [[Carsten Gehring]], and either [[Mike Cheyne]] or Sam Ross. <br />
<br />
From 2017-21, Andrew's BHSU teams finished no lower than 5th at Chicago Open. In 2019, Andrew won a mirror of [[Penn Bowl]] with Rob and Evan Brown.<br />
<br />

'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 33 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
Andrew is also known for his writing and editing, spearheading such well-received sets as the [[2014 Chicago Open]], the [[2017 ACF Regionals]], and the [[2018 ACF Nationals]].<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]].

'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 33 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
Andrew is also known for his writing and editing, spearheading such well-received sets as the [[2014 Chicago Open]], the [[2017 ACF Regionals]], and the [[2018 ACF Nationals]].<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of two formerly annual UMN events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The Minnesota team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. In the 2010-11 season, he played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, Andrew won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT, and Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
==Post-college playing career==<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play a final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] was published, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]], and Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]]. <br />
<br />
In his post-playing career, Andrew has played many open tournaments with a loose collection of individuals known as "BHSU," often comprising Andrew, Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]]; Andrew has also played several pop culture tournaments with a team typically comprising Rob, [[Carsten Gehring]], and either [[Mike Cheyne]] or Sam Ross. <br />
<br />
From 2017-19, Andrew's BHSU teams finished no lower than 5th at Chicago Open. In 2019, Andrew won a mirror of [[Penn Bowl]] with Rob and Evan Brown.<br />
<br />

'''NAQT''' or '''National Academic Quiz Tournaments''' is a company that produces pyramidal [[quizbowl]] questions and tournaments for middle school, high school, and collegiate play. NAQT produces many regular-season sets at all levels for tournaments run by independent hosts throughout the regular season. NAQT also hosts end-of-year championships for middle schools, small high schools, high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Intro}}<br />
NAQT was founded in 1996. They hosted the first NAQT Sectionals in fall 1996, the first [[NAQT ICT]] in January 1997, and the first [[HSNCT]] in spring 1999. They also hosted the British Championship from 1998 to 2003, and ran Conference Championships, later renamed [[Intercollegiate Fall Tournaments]], from 1998 until their discontinuation in 2001. NAQT's [[Middle school quizbowl|middle school]] program began in the 2010-11 school year, and continues to this day.<br />
<br />
NAQT's first president was [[Patrick Matthews]], who moved on from the organization in 1998. The current president, [[R. Robert Hentzel]], has been running the organization since.<br />
<br />
[[Invitational Series]] packet sets, for use at tournaments throughout the year, debuted in fall 1997. There are two difficulties of IS sets: IS-A sets, which are "introductory" level and identified by an "A" after the set number, such as "Invitational Series #123A," and "regular" IS sets, such as "Invitational Series #124." There have been over 170 IS sets produced since. IS sets were originally marketed towards college teams, but they are now a staple of high-school play. Although few college tournaments are now hosted on IS sets, IS questions continue to see play at the collegiate level at NAQT's [[Collegiate Novice]] events, which are hosted on a set modified from an IS set to conform to a collegiate distribution.<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
NAQT offers pyramidal question sets at all levels of play in the standard [[Tossup/Bonus format]], with packets typically consisting of 24 tossups and 24 bonuses. NAQT's official rules typically call for timed matches consisting of two 9-minute halves (high school) or two 10-minute halves (many college events); in 2018, some collegiate events will begin using untimed play, and many regular-season hosts at all levels choose to use untimed halves as well. NAQT uses [[powers]], which means that early correct answers falling within the "power" portion of the tossup (which is designated by a mark in the packet) are worth 15 points rather than the usual 10 points.<br />
<br />
==High-School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season high-school play and for its end-of-year high-school championships. <br />
<br />
===Regular-Season Play===<br />
NAQT's primary offerings for regular-season play are Invitational Series ([[IS]]) sets and Invitational Series A ([[IS-A]]) sets. Individual IS and IS-A sets are marked by number designations that correspond to the number of IS sets that the company has produced (i.e. IS-170 and IS-171A); as of 2017, NAQT has produced over 170 IS and IS-A sets. Regular IS sets are considered to be "regular" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are between 375 and 425 characters long (about four lines in the printed packet). IS-A sets are considered to be "beginner" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are slightly shorter, between 260 and 291 characters long (about three lines in the printed packet). Both IS and IS-A sets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part. In recent years, NAQT has produced five IS and five IS-A sets each year; in the past, NAQT produced six IS sets a year.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces custom regular-season sets. For example, NAQT produces sets of questions for the Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia state formats (including custom state championship series for the high school associations of Missouri and Virginia) that are drawn in part from [[IS]] sets.<br />
<br />
NAQT encourages states to run [[:Category:NAQT State Championships|NAQT State Championships]] on an IS set.<br />
<br />
Teams can [https://www.naqt.com/hsnct/qualification.jsp qualify] for NAQT's end-of-year championship tournaments based on their regular-season play at NAQT tournaments, including the state championships.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces an annual television series set used by TV quiz shows around the country.<br />
<br />
===Championship Tournaments===<br />
NAQT hosts two end-of-year championships at the high-school level. The flagship high-school tournament, which crowns the overall high-school champion, is the High School National Championship Tournament, or [[HSNCT]]. The HSNCT is the largest quizbowl tournament of the year, with the 2017 event drawing 304 teams, and typically takes place at a large hotel over Memorial Day weekend. Teams can qualify for HSNCT based on their regular-season play, or they can apply for a wildcard.<br />
<br />
NAQT also hosts the Small School National Championship Tournament, or [[SSNCT]], which crowns a champion among [https://www.naqt.com/hs/small-school.html small schools]. Like HSNCT, the SSNCT is held in a large hotel in the spring; the 2017 event drew 126 teams. Starting in 2018, the tournament will have two divisions: one for small "traditional" public schools, and the other for all other small schools, such as private and magnet schools.<br />
<br />
==College Tournaments==<br />
NAQT runs four major college tournaments. For four-year schools, the core tournaments are the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament ([[ICT]]) and [[NAQT Sectionals]] (SCT), which are the end-of-year championship and the qualifier event for that championship, respectively. The SCT and ICT are both held for two divisions; [[Division II]] is a less-difficult and eligibility-restricted level for newer players, while [[Division I]] is open to all college players and crowns an overall champion. NAQT also hosts a sectional tournament and championship tournament ([[CCCT]]) at the community college level. NAQT converts an IS set to produce its [[Collegiate Novice]] tournament, which is an introductory college event.<br />
<br />
===ICT===<br />
ICT is an end-of-year championship, typically taking place in April at a large hotel, that crowns four-year collegiate champions. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; the Division II set is largely derived from the Division I set, but with the questions converted to be shorter and easier. Currently, 32 teams in each division earn [https://www.naqt.com/ict/qualification.jsp invitations] to ICT based on their performances at SCT, which is the qualifying tournament for ICT. <br />
<br />
National winners of each division by year can be found [[ICT|here]].<br />
<br />
===SCT===<br />
SCT is the qualifying event for ICT, which typically takes place in early February, and is hosted by schools or other independent hosts across the country. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; as with the ICT sets, the Division II set is largely converted from the Division I set. Teams playing SCT earn [[D-values]] based on their performance and statistics that can enable them to qualify for ICT.<br />
<br />
===Community College Tournaments===<br />
NAQT also hosts a sectional qualifying tournament and an end-of-year championship ([[CCCT]]) for community colleges. The CCCT takes place in late February or early March, and the top teams earn bids to compete at the Division II ICT.<br />
<br />
===Collegiate Novice Series===<br />
NAQT also produces the [[Collegiate Novice]] series, largely derived from [[IS]] questions, which is used for introductory college tournaments around the country. <br />
<br />
==Middle School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season middle-school play and for its end-of-year Middle School National Championship Tournament [[MSNCT]]. <br />
<br />
In 2010, NAQT began producing [[middle school]] sets (which are styled MS-01, MS-02, etc.) for regular-season play. NAQT has produced over 20 regular-season middle school sets, and currently writes four such sets per year. NAQT's middle school packets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part; the tossups are 260 to 291 characters long, or about three lines in the printed packet. <br />
<br />
The [[MSNCT]], or Middle School National Championship Tournament, debuted in May 2011 as the first and only national tournament for middle school teams that follows [[good quizbowl]] standards. The MSNCT typically takes place in May at a large hotel. The 2017 event drew 160 teams.<br />

==Controversy and Criticism==<br />
Although NAQT has largely avoided major scandals, in [[2013 NAQT Cheating Scandal|2013]], the company discovered that several college players, including an NAQT member, had exploited a technical bug (since fixed) to access the content of questions that they subsequently played. In 2004, the company granted a [[2004 ICT Division II Eligibility Scandal|controversial eligibility exception]] for two [[UCLA]] players to play the DII [[ICT]] a second time.<br />
<br />
NAQT has faced criticism, especially from vocal college players, about several aspects of its collegiate and high school programs. Culminating in the late 2000s, critics called for NAQT to stop selling IS set questions for collegiate play, avoid certain types of gimmicky questions (sometimes known as "[[funn]]" questions), and eliminate [[computational math]] questions from its distribution. In recent years, these complaints have abated as NAQT has hired more circuit writers, become more integrated with the college quiz bowl community, and made meaningful changes in response to criticism, including evolving its editorial standards, eliminating computational math tossups at HSNCT, and mostly confining the use of IS sets for college play to IS questions shared with the [[Collegiate Novice]] series. <br />
<br />
NAQT has also been criticized for mandating strictly enforced [[length limit]]s on tossups; placing an emphasis, relative to circuit quiz bowl, on geography, current events, and pop culture; using timed rounds at its championship tournaments; and selling college questions as practice material. Although NAQT has stated that these features are central to its conception of quiz bowl or its business model, the company has made several changes in response, and many of these criticisms have subsided. These changes include moving [[SCT]] to untimed rounds; lengthening the character limit for DI college play; changing the distribution based on player input; and focusing on improving geography, pop culture, and current events questions to increase conversion and avoid stale questions.<br />

NAQT was founded in 1996. They hosted the first NAQT Sectionals in fall 1996, the first [[NAQT ICT]] in January 1997, and the first [[HSNCT]] in spring 1999. They also hosted the British Championship from 1998 to 2003, and ran Conference Championships, later renamed [[Intercollegiate Fall Tournaments]], from 1998 until their discontinuation in 2001. NAQT's [[Middle school quizbowl|middle school]] program began in the 2010-11 school year, and continues to this day.<br />
<br />
NAQT's first president was [[Patrick Matthews]], who moved on from the organization in 1998. The current president, [[R. Robert Hentzel]], has been running the organization since.<br />
<br />
[[Invitational Series]] packet sets, for use at tournaments throughout the year, debuted in fall 1997. There are two difficulties of IS sets: IS-A sets, which are "introductory" level and identified by an "A" after the set number, such as "Invitational Series #123A," and "regular" IS sets, such as "Invitational Series #124." There have been over 170 IS sets produced since. IS sets were originally marketed towards college teams, but they are now a staple of high-school play. Although few college tournaments are now hosted on IS sets, IS questions continue to see play at the collegiate level at NAQT's [[Collegiate Novice]] events, which are hosted on a set modified from an IS set to conform to a collegiate distribution.<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
NAQT offers pyramidal question sets at all levels of play in the standard [[Tossup/Bonus format]], with packets typically consisting of 24 tossups and 24 bonuses. NAQT's official rules typically call for timed matches consisting of two 9-minute halves (high school) or two 10-minute halves (many college events); in 2018, some collegiate events will begin using untimed play, and many regular-season hosts at all levels choose to use untimed halves as well. NAQT uses [[powers]], which means that early correct answers falling within the "power" portion of the tossup (which is designated by a mark in the packet) are worth 15 points rather than the usual 10 points.<br />
<br />
==High-School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season high-school play and for its end-of-year high-school championships. <br />
<br />
===Regular-Season Play===<br />
NAQT's primary offerings for regular-season play are Invitational Series ([[IS]]) sets and Invitational Series A ([[IS-A]]) sets. Individual IS and IS-A sets are marked by number designations that correspond to the number of IS sets that the company has produced (i.e. IS-170 and IS-171A); as of 2017, NAQT has produced over 170 IS and IS-A sets. Regular IS sets are considered to be "regular" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are between 375 and 425 characters long (about four lines in the printed packet). IS-A sets are considered to be "beginner" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are slightly shorter, between 260 and 291 characters long (about three lines in the printed packet). Both IS and IS-A sets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part. In recent years, NAQT has produced five IS and five IS-A sets each year; in the past, NAQT produced six IS sets a year.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces custom regular-season sets. For example, NAQT produces sets of questions for the Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia state formats (including custom state championship series for the high school associations of Missouri and Virginia) that are drawn in part from [[IS]] sets.<br />
<br />
NAQT encourages states to run [[:Category:NAQT State Championships|NAQT State Championships]] on an IS set.<br />
<br />
Teams can [https://www.naqt.com/hsnct/qualification.jsp qualify] for NAQT's end-of-year championship tournaments based on their regular-season play at NAQT tournaments, including the state championships.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces an annual television series set used by TV quiz shows around the country.<br />
<br />
===Championship Tournaments===<br />
NAQT hosts two end-of-year championships at the high-school level. The flagship high-school tournament, which crowns the overall high-school champion, is the High School National Championship Tournament, or [[HSNCT]]. The HSNCT is the largest quizbowl tournament of the year, with the 2017 event drawing 304 teams, and typically takes place at a large hotel over Memorial Day weekend. Teams can qualify for HSNCT based on their regular-season play, or they can apply for a wildcard.<br />
<br />
NAQT also hosts the Small School National Championship Tournament, or [[SSNCT]], which crowns a champion among [https://www.naqt.com/hs/small-school.html small schools]. Like HSNCT, the SSNCT is held in a large hotel in the spring; the 2017 event drew 126 teams. Starting in 2018, the tournament will have two divisions: one for small "traditional" public schools, and the other for all other small schools, such as private and magnet schools.<br />
<br />
==College Tournaments==<br />
NAQT runs four major college tournaments. For four-year schools, the core tournaments are the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament ([[ICT]]) and [[NAQT Sectionals]] (SCT), which are the end-of-year championship and the qualifier event for that championship, respectively. The SCT and ICT are both held for two divisions; [[Division II]] is a less-difficult and eligibility-restricted level for newer players, while [[Division I]] is open to all college players and crowns an overall champion. NAQT also hosts a sectional tournament and championship tournament ([[CCCT]]) at the community college level. NAQT converts an IS set to produce its [[Collegiate Novice]] tournament, which is an introductory college event.<br />
<br />
===ICT===<br />
ICT is an end-of-year championship, typically taking place in April at a large hotel, that crowns four-year collegiate champions. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; the Division II set is largely derived from the Division I set, but with the questions converted to be shorter and easier. Currently, 32 teams in each division earn [https://www.naqt.com/ict/qualification.jsp invitations] to ICT based on their performances at SCT, which is the qualifying tournament for ICT. <br />
<br />
National winners of each division by year can be found [[ICT|here]].<br />
<br />
===SCT===<br />
SCT is the qualifying event for ICT, which typically takes place in early February, and is hosted by schools or other independent hosts across the country. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; as with the ICT sets, the Division II set is largely converted from the Division I set. Teams playing SCT earn [[D-values]] based on their performance and statistics that can enable them to qualify for ICT.<br />
<br />
===Community College Tournaments===<br />
NAQT also hosts a sectional qualifying tournament and an end-of-year championship ([[CCCT]]) for community colleges. The CCCT takes place in late February or early March, and the top teams earn bids to compete at the Division II ICT.<br />
<br />
===Collegiate Novice Series===<br />
NAQT also produces the [[Collegiate Novice]] series, largely derived from [[IS]] questions, which is used for introductory college tournaments around the country. <br />
<br />
==Middle School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season middle-school play and for its end-of-year Middle School National Championship Tournament [[MSNCT]]. <br />
<br />
In 2010, NAQT began producing [[middle school]] sets (which are styled MS-01, MS-02, etc.) for regular-season play. NAQT has produced over 20 regular-season middle school sets, and currently writes four such sets per year. NAQT's middle school packets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part; the tossups are 260 to 291 characters long, or about three lines in the printed packet. <br />
<br />
The [[MSNCT]], or Middle School National Championship Tournament, debuted in May 2011 as the first and only national tournament for middle school teams that follows [[good quizbowl]] standards. The MSNCT typically takes place in May at a large hotel. The 2017 event drew 160 teams.<br />

*Use of strictly enforced character limits for tossups (291 characters for middle school and Introductory Invitational Series sets ("A-sets"); 425 for Invitational Series sets, HSNCT, and Division II; 500 for Division I) <br />
*Large current events and pop culture distributions in their sets<br />
*2012-13 [[Andy Watkins Cheating Scandal|cheating scandal]], in which it was discovered that several players had abused a loophole in NAQT's question-writing system to access questions for future sets (the loophole has since been closed)<br />
*Continued use of [[computational math]] questions<br />

'''NAQT''' or '''National Academic Quiz Tournaments''' is a company that produces pyramidal [[quizbowl]] questions and tournaments for middle school, high school, and collegiate play. NAQT produces many regular-season sets at all levels for tournaments run by independent hosts throughout the regular season. NAQT also hosts end-of-year championships for middle schools, small high schools, high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges. <br />

<br />
'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 32 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of two formerly annual UMN events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The Minnesota team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. In the 2010-11 season, he played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, Andrew won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT, and Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
==Post-college playing career==<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play a final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] was published, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]], and Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]]. <br />
<br />
In 2017, Andrew placed fourth at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Adam Silverman]].<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 32 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of two formerly annual UMN events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals for the first time and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT. Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />

He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />

<br />
'''NAQT''' or '''National Academic Quiz Tournaments''' is a company that produces pyramidal [[quizbowl]] questions and tournaments for middle school, high school, and collegiate play. NAQT produces many regular-season sets at all levels for tournaments run by independent hosts throughout the regular season. NAQT also hosts end-of-year championships for middle schools, small high schools, high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Intro}}<br />
NAQT was founded in 1996. They hosted the first NAQT Sectionals in fall 1996, the first [[NAQT ICT]] in January 1997, and the first [[HSNCT]] in spring 1999. They also hosted the British Championship from 1998 to 2003, and ran Conference Championships, later renamed [[Intercollegiate Fall Tournaments]], from 1998 until their discontinuation in 2001. NAQT's [[Middle school quizbowl|middle school]] program began in the 2010-11 school year, and continues to this day.<br />
<br />
NAQT's first president was [[Patrick Matthews]], who moved on from the organization in 1998. The current president, [[R. Robert Hentzel]], has been running the organization since.<br />
<br />
[[Invitational Series]] packet sets, for use at tournaments throughout the year, debuted in fall 1997. There are two difficulties of IS sets: IS-A sets, which are "introductory" level and identified by an "A" after the set number, such as "Invitational Series #123A," and "regular" IS sets, such as "Invitational Series #124." There have been over 170 IS sets produced since. IS sets were originally marketed towards college teams, but they are now a staple of high-school play. Although few college tournaments are now hosted on IS sets, IS questions continue to see play at the collegiate level at NAQT's [[Collegiate Novice]] events, which are hosted on a set modified from an IS set to conform more closely to the collegiate distribution.<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
NAQT offers pyramidal question sets at all levels of play in the standard [[Tossup/Bonus format]], with packets typically consisting of 24 tossups and 24 bonuses. NAQT's official rules typically call for timed matches consisting of two 9-minute halves (high school) or two 10-minute halves (many college events); in 2018, some collegiate events will begin using untimed play, and many regular-season hosts at all levels choose to use untimed halves as well. NAQT uses [[powers]], which means that early correct answers falling within the "power" portion of the tossup (which is designated by a mark in the packet) are worth 15 points rather than the usual 10 points.<br />
<br />
==High-School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season high-school play and for its end-of-year high-school championships. <br />
<br />
===Regular-Season Play===<br />
NAQT's primary offerings for regular-season play are Introductory Series ([[IS]]) sets and Introductory Series A ([[IS-A]]) sets. Individual IS and IS-A sets are marked by number designations that correspond to the number of IS sets that the company has produced (i.e. IS-170 and IS-171A); as of 2017, NAQT has produced over 170 IS and IS-A sets. Regular IS sets are considered to be "regular" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are between 375 and 425 characters long (about four lines in the printed packet). IS-A sets are considered to be "beginner" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are slightly shorter, between 260 and 291 characters long (about three lines in the printed packet). Both IS and IS-A sets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part. In recent years, NAQT has produced five IS and five IS-A sets each year; in the past, NAQT produced six IS sets a year.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces custom regular-season sets. For example, NAQT produces sets of questions for the Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia state formats (including custom state championship series for the high school associations of Missouri and Virginia) that are drawn in part from [[IS]] sets.<br />
<br />
NAQT encourages states to run [[:Category:NAQT State Championships|NAQT State Championships]] on an IS set.<br />
<br />
Teams can [https://www.naqt.com/hsnct/qualification.jsp qualify] for NAQT's end-of-year championship tournaments based on their regular-season play at NAQT tournaments, including the state championships.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces an annual television series set used by TV quiz shows around the country.<br />
<br />
===Championship Tournaments===<br />
NAQT hosts two end-of-year championships at the high-school level. The flagship high-school tournament, which crowns the overall high-school champion, is the High School National Championship Tournament, or [[HSNCT]]. The HSNCT is the largest quizbowl tournament of the year, with the 2017 event drawing 304 teams, and typically takes place at a large hotel over Memorial Day weekend. Teams can qualify for HSNCT based on their regular-season play, or they can apply for a wildcard.<br />
<br />
NAQT also hosts the Small School National Championship Tournament, or [[SSNCT]], which crowns a champion among [https://www.naqt.com/hs/small-school.html small schools]. Like HSNCT, the SSNCT is held in a large hotel in the spring; the 2017 event drew 126 teams. Starting in 2018, the tournament will have two divisions: one for small "traditional" public schools, and the other for all other small schools, such as private and magnet schools.<br />
<br />
==College Tournaments==<br />
NAQT runs four major college tournaments. For four-year schools, the core of the college program are Intercollegiate Championship Tournament ([[ICT]]) and [[NAQT Sectionals]] (SCT), which are the end-of-year championship and the qualifier event for that championship, respectively. The SCT and ICT are both held for two divisions; [[Division II]] is a less-difficult and eligibility-restricted level for newer players, while [[Division I]] is open to all college players and crowns an overall champion. NAQT also hosts a sectional tournament and championship tournament ([[CCCT]) at the community college level. NAQT converts an IS set to produce its [[Collegiate Novice]] tournament, which is an introductory college event.<br />
<br />
===ICT===<br />
ICT is an end-of-year championship, typically taking place in April at a large hotel, that crowns four-year collegiate champions. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; the Division II set is largely derived from the Division I set, but with the questions converted to be shorter and easier. Currently, 32 teams in each division earn [https://www.naqt.com/ict/qualification.jsp invitations] to ICT based on their performances at SCT, which is the qualifying tournament for ICT. <br />
<br />
National winners of each division by year can be found [[ICT|here]].<br />
<br />
===SCT===<br />
SCT is the qualifying event for ICT, which typically takes place in early February, and is hosted by schools or other independent hosts across the country. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; as with the ICT sets, the Division II set is largely converted from the Division I set. Teams playing SCT earn [[D-values]] based on their performance and statistics that can enable them to qualify for ICT.<br />
<br />
===Community College Tournaments===<br />
NAQT also hosts a sectional qualifying tournament and an end-of-year championship ([[CCCT]]) for community colleges. The CCCT takes place in late February or early March, and the top teams earn bids to compete at the Division II ICT.<br />
<br />
===Collegiate Novice Series===<br />
NAQT also produces the [[Collegiate Novice]] series, largely derived from [[IS]] questions, which is used for introductory college tournaments around the country. <br />
<br />
==Middle School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season middle-school play and for its end-of-year Middle School National Championship Tournament [[MSNCT]]. <br />
<br />
In 2010, NAQT began producing [[middle school]] sets (which are styled MS-01, MS-02, etc.) for regular-season play. NAQT has produced over 20 regular-season middle school sets, and currently writes four such sets per year. NAQT's middle school packets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part; the tossups are 260 to 291 characters long, or about three lines in the printed packet. <br />
<br />
The [[MSNCT]], or Middle School National Championship Tournament, debuted in April 2011 as the first and only national tournament for middle school teams that follows [[good quizbowl]] standards. The MSNCT typically takes place in May at a large hotel. The 2017 event drew 160 teams.<br />

'''NAQT''' or '''National Academic Quiz Tournaments''' is a company that produces pyramidal [[quizbowl]] questions and tournaments for middle school, high school, and collegiate play. NAQT produces many regular-season sets at all levels for tournaments run by independent hosts throughout the regular season. NAQT also hosts end-of-year championships for middle schools, small high schools, high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Intro}}<br />
NAQT was founded in 1996. They hosted the first NAQT Sectionals in fall 1996, the first [[NAQT ICT]] in January 1997, and the first [[HSNCT]] in spring 1999. They also hosted the British Championship from 1998 to 2003, and ran Conference Championships, later renamed [[Intercollegiate Fall Tournaments]], from 1998 until their discontinuation in 2001. NAQT's [[Middle school quizbowl|middle school]] program began in the 2010-11 school year, and continues to this day.<br />
<br />
NAQT's first president was [[Patrick Matthews]], who moved on from the organization in 1998. The current president, [[R. Robert Hentzel]], has been running the organization since.<br />
<br />
[[Invitational Series]] packet sets, for use at tournaments throughout the year, debuted in fall 1997. There are two difficulties of IS sets: IS-A sets, which are "introductory" level and identified by an "A" after the set number, such as "Invitational Series #123A," and "regular" IS sets, such as "Invitational Series #124." There have been over 170 IS sets produced since. IS sets were originally marketed towards college teams, but they are now a staple of high-school play. Although few college tournaments are now hosted on IS sets, IS questions continue to see play at the collegiate level at NAQT's [[Collegiate Novice]] events, which are hosted on a set modified from an IS set to conform more closely to the collegiate distribution.<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
NAQT offers pyramidal question sets at all levels of play in the standard [[Tossup/Bonus format]], with packets typically consisting of 24 tossups and 24 bonuses. NAQT's official rules typically call for timed matches consisting of two 9-minute halves (high school) or two 10-minute halves (many college events); in 2018, some collegiate events will begin using untimed play, and many regular-season hosts at all levels choose to use untimed halves as well. NAQT uses [[powers]], which means that early correct answers falling within the "power" portion of the tossup (which is designated by a mark in the packet) are worth 15 points rather than the usual 10 points.<br />
<br />
==High-School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season high-school play and for its end-of-year high-school championships. <br />
<br />
===Regular-Season Play==<br />
NAQT's primary offerings for regular-season play are Introductory Series ([[IS]]) sets and Introductory Series A ([[IS-A]]) sets. Individual IS and IS-A sets are marked by number designations that correspond to the number of IS sets that the company has produced (i.e. IS-170 and IS-171A); as of 2017, NAQT has produced over 170 IS and IS-A sets. Regular IS sets are considered to be "regular" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are between 375 and 425 characters long (about four lines in the printed packet). IS-A sets are considered to be "beginner" high-school difficulty, and the tossups are slightly shorter, between 260 and 291 characters long (about three lines in the printed packet). Both IS and IS-A sets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part. In recent years, NAQT has produced five IS and five IS-A sets each year; in the past, NAQT produced six IS sets a year.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces custom regular-season sets. For example, NAQT produces sets of questions for the Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia state formats (including custom state championship series for the high school associations of Missouri and Virginia) that are drawn in part from [[IS]] sets.<br />
<br />
NAQT encourages states to run [[:Category:NAQT State Championships|NAQT State Championships]] on an IS set.<br />
<br />
Teams can [https://www.naqt.com/hsnct/qualification.jsp qualify] for NAQT's end-of-year championship tournaments based on their regular-season play at NAQT tournaments, including the state championships.<br />
<br />
NAQT also produces an annual television series set used by TV quiz shows around the country.<br />
<br />
===Championship Tournaments===<br />
NAQT hosts two end-of-year championships at the high-school level. The flagship high-school tournament, which crowns the overall high-school champion, is the High School National Championship Tournament, or [[HSNCT]]. The HSNCT is the largest quizbowl tournament of the year, with the 2017 event drawing 304 teams, and typically takes place at a large hotel over Memorial Day weekend. Teams can qualify for HSNCT based on their regular-season play, or they can apply for a wildcard.<br />
<br />
NAQT also hosts the Small School National Championship Tournament, or [[SSNCT]], which crowns a champion among [https://www.naqt.com/hs/small-school.html small schools]. Like HSNCT, the SSNCT is held in a large hotel in the spring; the 2017 event drew 126 teams. Starting in 2018, the tournament will have two divisions: one for small "traditional" public schools, and the other for all other small schools, such as private and magnet schools.<br />
<br />
==College Tournaments==<br />
NAQT runs four major college tournaments. For four-year schools, the core of the college program are Intercollegiate Championship Tournament ([[ICT]]) and [[NAQT Sectionals]] (SCT), which are the end-of-year championship and the qualifier event for that championship, respectively. The SCT and ICT are both held for two divisions; [[Division II]] is a less-difficult and eligibility-restricted level for newer players, while [[Division I]] is open to all college players and crowns an overall champion. NAQT also hosts a sectional tournament and championship tournament ([[CCCT]) at the community college level. NAQT converts an IS set to produce its [[Collegiate Novice]] tournament, which is an introductory college event.<br />
<br />
===ICT===<br />
ICT is an end-of-year championship, typically taking place in April at a large hotel, that crowns four-year collegiate champions. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; the Division II set is largely derived from the Division I set, but with the questions converted to be shorter and easier. Currently, 32 teams in each division earn [https://www.naqt.com/ict/qualification.jsp invitations] to ICT based on their performances at SCT, which is the qualifying tournament for ICT. <br />
<br />
National winners of each division by year can be found [[ICT|here]].<br />
<br />
===SCT===<br />
SCT is the qualifying event for ICT, which typically takes place in early February, and is hosted by schools or other independent hosts across the country. The tournament is held for both [[Division I]] and [[Division II]] players, with each division using a separate set of questions; as with the ICT sets, the Division II set is largely converted from the Division I set. Teams playing SCT earn [[D-values]] based on their performance and statistics that can enable them to qualify for ICT.<br />
<br />
===Community College Tournaments===<br />
NAQT also hosts a sectional qualifying tournament and an end-of-year championship ([[CCCT]]) for community colleges. The CCCT takes place in late February or early March, and the top teams earn bids to compete at the Division II ICT.<br />
<br />
===Collegiate Novice Series===<br />
NAQT also produces the [[Collegiate Novice]] series, largely derived from [[IS]] questions, which is used for introductory college tournaments around the country. <br />
<br />
==Middle School Program==<br />
NAQT produces sets for regular-season middle-school play and for its end-of-year Middle School National Championship Tournament [[MSNCT]]. <br />
<br />
In 2010, NAQT began producing [[middle school]] sets (which are styled MS-01, MS-02, etc.) for regular-season play. NAQT has produced over 20 regular-season middle school sets, and currently writes four such sets per year. NAQT's middle school packets are written in the tossup/bonus format, with pyramidal tossups and three-part bonuses consisting of an easy, middle, and hard part; the tossups are 260 to 291 characters long, or about three lines in the printed packet. <br />
<br />
The [[MSNCT]], or Middle School National Championship Tournament, debuted in April 2011 as the first and only national tournament for middle school teams that follows [[good quizbowl]] standards. The MSNCT typically takes place in May at a large hotel. The 2017 event drew 160 teams.<br />

*They have not completed their fourth distinct academic year of competition in NAQT collegiate events,<br />
*They have played on a Division I team at no more than one previous NAQT Sectional.<br />
*Prior to the current competition year, they have never played on a Sectionals team that qualified for the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament nor played at the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament at either the Division II or Division I levels.

==Controversy==<br />
Although thankfully NAQT has had few problems compared to other companies such as [[Questions Unlimited]] or [[CBI]], there have been some controversies. These include:<br />
*[[2004 ICT Division II Eligibility Scandal]], where UCLA won Division II in 2004 despite having played in ICT Div II the year before<br />
*Allowing the use of IS high school level questions for college tournaments<br />
*Occasional use of [[funn]] questions, especially in sets before about 2007<br />
*Use of strictly enforced character limits for tossups (291 characters for middle school and Introductory Invitational Series sets ("A-sets"); 425 for Invitational Series sets, HSNCT, and Division II; 500 for Division I) <br />
*Large current events and pop culture distributions in their sets<br />
*2012-13 [[Andy Watkins Cheating Scandal|cheating scandal]], in which it was discovered that several players had abused a loophole in NAQT's question-writing system to access questions for future sets (the loophole has since been closed)<br />
*Continued use of [[computational math]] questions<br />

<br />
'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 32 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of Minnesota's two annual events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]] in recognition of his contributions to collegiate quizbowl.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who had transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals for the first time and, with teammates [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT. Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, alongside perhaps only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
==Post-college playing career==<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play a final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] was published, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Will Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew won the [[Carper Award]], and Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]]. <br />
<br />
In 2017, Andrew placed fourth at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Adam Silverman]].<br />

<br />
'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 32 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of Minnesota's two annual events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College and open playing career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals for the first time and, riding the coattails of [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT. Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, perhaps alongside only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play one final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] came out, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Peter Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />

The Chicago Open Trash tournament has brought about the development of the term-of-art "Yaphe trash" after the name of the usual driving force. Though each iteration of the tournament has been slightly different because of the various collaborators, tournaments have reflected the core principles of Yaphe trash:<br />
<br />
- Meta quizbowl. Much to the chagrin of the some of the TRASH people who show up to the tournaments, questions about quizbowl events and individuals join meta clues in regular tossups.<br />
<br />
- Academic content. Yaphe trash contains a higher proportion of academic content in questions. This manifests itself occasionally as trash clues about academic subjects, academic clues about otherwise trashy subjects or just plain academic questions. Curiously, in 2008 this proved more controversial among academic players than among the so-called "TRASH people," who more or less shrugged it off.[http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5989]<br />
<br />
- High proportion of "other" questions outside the Big 3 of trash of Sports, Music and Film/TV. Literature questions are much better represented than in TRASH or other trash tournaments while other pet topics of editors frequently come up (fashion, for example). This also allows for multidisciplinary clues to be used in common-link questions, which are themselves well-represented in Yaphe trash. Some claim the "other" distribution stints video games or other fields, while some claim it means the Big 3 are relatively underrepresented.<br />
<br />
== Commentary == <br />
While [[Matt Weiner]] has referred to the first two events and the two Maryland trash tournaments head-edited by [[Mike Bentley]] as the only four good trash tournaments ever produced, others, such as [[Greg Sorenson]], have alleged that the Chicago tournaments featured even more 1980s content than trash usually does, notably in music. The 2008 edition was met with somewhat more praise from the usual TRASH people.<br />

The Chicago Open Trash tournament has brought about the development of the term-of-art "Yaphe trash" after the name of the usual driving force. Though each iteration of the tournament has been slightly different because of the various collaborators, tournaments have reflected the core principles of Yaphe trash:<br />
<br />
- Meta quizbowl. Much to the chagrin of the some of the TRASH people who show up to the tournaments, questions about quizbowl events and individuals join meta clues in regular tossups. <br />
<br />
- Academic content. Yaphe trash contains a higher proportion of academic content in questions. This manifests itself occasionally as trash clues about academic subjects, academic clues about otherwise trashy subjects or just plain academic questions. Curiously, in 2008 this proved more controversial among academic players than among the so-called "TRASH people," who more or less shrugged it off.[http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5989]<br />
<br />
- High proportion of "other" questions outside the Big 3 of trash of Sports, Music and Film/TV. Literature questions are much better represented than in TRASH or other trash tournaments while other pet topics of editors frequently come up (fashion, for example). This also allows for multidisciplinary clues to be used in common-link questions, which are themselves well-represented in Yaphe trash. Some claim the "other" distribution stints video games or other fields, while some claim it means the Big 3 are relatively underrepresented.<br />
<br />
== Commentary == <br />
While [[Matt Weiner]] has referred to the first two events and the two Maryland trash tournaments head-edited by [[Mike Bentley]] as the only four good trash tournaments ever produced, others, such as [[Greg Sorenson]], have alleged that the Chicago tournaments featured even more 1980s content than trash usually does, notably in music. The 2008 edition was met with somewhat more praise from the usual TRASH people.<br />

<br />
== The Tournaments ==<br />
<br />
In 2005, the tournament was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]] and [[Subash Maddipoti]] as the [[Mordechai Richler Trash Tournament]]. It was won by [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]], [[Matt Lafer]], [[Paul Litvak]], and [[Matt Weiner]].<br />
<br />
In 2006, it was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]] and [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] as the [http://bowl.uchicago.edu/results/Keller06stats_standings.html Gottfried Keller Open]. It was won by [[Greg Sorenson]], [[Brian Hight]], [[Jeremy White]], and [[Mike Burger]].<br />
<br />
It did not occur in 2007 due to [[Matt Weiner]] failing to write enough questions.<br />
<br />
In 2008, the Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]], [[David Seal]] and [[Michael Arnold]], with Yaphe serving as head editor. It was won by [[Greg Sorenson]], [[Brian Hight]], [[Colby Burnett]], and [[Jeremy White]].<br />
<br />
In 2009, the Ferdinand Tonnies Memorial Trash Tournament was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]], [[David Seal]], [[Michael Arnold]], and [[Mike Sorice]], with Yaphe again serving as head editor. Stats have gone the way of Donald Taylor's UIUC page, but it appears that [[Greg Sorenson]], [[Brian Hight]], [[Colby Burnett]], and [[Jeremy White]] retained their crown.<br />
<br />
The 2010 iteration was known as the [http://bowl.uchicago.edu/goodman/goodmanplayoffs_standings.html Paul Goodman Memorial Open] and was written by [[Michael Arnold]] with help from [[Susan Ferrari]], [[Auroni Gupta]], [[Andrew Yaphe]] and Sam Medley. It was won by a team consisting of [[Colby Burnett]], [[Brian Hight]], [[Greg Sorenson]] and [[Jeremy White]].<br />
<br />
In 2011, [[Mike Bentley]] wrote [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/596/stats/combined/ COLT], a trash tournament won by Brian Hight, Colby Burnett, Jeremy White, and a mysterious individual known only as "Jimmy?"<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1545/stats/trash_side_event_-_all_games/standings/ Seth Teitler Presents: An Intimate Engagement with Trash] was written by [[David Seal]], [[Brian McNamara]], Owen Cooper, and [[Nolan Esser]], and won by Brian Hight, Colby Burnett, and [[Yogesh Raut]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/3795/stats/combined/ Chicago Open Trash] made its triumphant return, with [[Rob Carson]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Andrew Hart]] as the writers. The tournament was won in a thrilling final by [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Tejas Raje]], [[Kenji Golimlim]], and [[Chris Manners]], in what is believed to be the first CO Trash win since the 2005 iteration by four players known primarily for their academic quizbowl exploits.<br />

This manifests itself occasionally as trash clues about academic subjects, academic clues about otherwise trashy subjects or just plain academic questions.

<br />
- High proportion of "other" questions outside the Big 3 of trash of Sports, Music and Film/TV. Literature questions are much better represented than in TRASH or other trash tournaments while other pet topics of editors frequently come up (fashion, for example). This also allows for multidisciplinary clues to be used in common-link questions, which are themselves well-represented in Yaphe trash. Some claim the "other" distribution stints video games or other fields, while some claim it means the Big 3 are relatively underrepresented.<br />

== Commentary == <br />
While [[Matt Weiner]] has referred to the first two events and the two Maryland trash tournaments head-edited by [[Mike Bentley]] as the only four good trash tournaments ever produced, others, such as [[Greg Sorenson]], have alleged that the Chicago tournaments featured even more 1980s content than trash usually does, notably in music. The 2008 edition was met with somewhat more praise from the usual TRASH people.<br />

<hr />
<div>In recent history, the Sunday following the Chicago Open has featured a trash tournament.<br />
<br />
== The Tournaments ==<br />
<br />
In 2005, the tournament was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]] and [[Subash Maddipoti]] as the [[Mordechai Richler Trash Tournament]].<br />
<br />
In 2006, it was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]] and [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] as the [[Gottfried Keller Open]].<br />
<br />
It did not occur in 2007 due to [[Matt Weiner]] failing to write enough questions.<br />
<br />
In 2008, the Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]], [[David Seal]] and [[Michael Arnold]], with Yaphe serving as head editor.<br />
<br />
In 2009, the Ferdinand Tonnies Memorial Trash Tournament was written by [[Andrew Yaphe]], [[David Seal]], [[Michael Arnold]], and [[Mike Sorice]], with Yaphe again serving as head editor.<br />
<br />
The 2010 iteration was known as the Paul Goodman Memorial Open and was written by [[Michael Arnold]] with help from [[Susan Ferrari]], [[Auroni Gupta]], [[Andrew Yaphe]] and Sam Medley. It was won by a team consisting of [[Colby Burnett]], [[Brian Hight]], [[Greg Sorenson]] and [[Jeremy White]].<br />
<br />
In 2011, [[Mike Bentley]] wrote [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/596/stats/combined/ COLT], a trash tournament won by Brian Hight, Colby Burnett, Jeremy White, and a mysterious individual known only as "Jimmy?"<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1545/stats/trash_side_event_-_all_games/standings/ Seth Teitler Presents: An Intimate Engagement with Trash] was written by [[David Seal]], [[Brian McNamara]], Owen Cooper, and [[Nolan Esser]], and won by Brian Hight, Colby Burnett, and [[Yogesh Raut]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/3795/stats/combined/ Chicago Open Trash] made its triumphant return, with [[Rob Carson]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Andrew Hart]] as the writers. The tournament was won in a thrilling final by [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Tejas Raje]], [[Kenji Golimlim]], and [[Chris Manners]], in what is believed to be the first CO Trash win by four players known primarily for their academic quizbowl exploits.<br />
<br />
== Style ==<br />
<br />
The Chicago Open Trash tournament has brought about the development of the term-of-art "Yaphe trash" after the name of the usual driving force. Though each iteration of the tournament has been slightly different because of the various collaborators, tournaments have reflected the core principles of Yaphe trash:<br />
<br />
- Meta quizbowl. Much to the chagrin of the some of the TRASH people who show up to the tournaments, questions about quizbowl events and individuals join meta clues in regular tossups. <br />
<br />
- Academic content. Yaphe trash contains a higher proportion of academic content in questions. This manifests itself occasionally as trash clues about academic subjects, academic clues about otherwise trashy subjects or just plain academic questions. Curiously, in 2008 this proved more controversial among academic players than among the so-called "TRASH people," who more or less shrugged it off.[http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5989]<br />
<br />
- High proportion of "other" questions outside the Big 3 of trash of Sports, Music and Film/TV. Literature questions are much better represented than in TRASH or other trash tournaments while other pet topics of editors frequently come up (fashion, for example). This also allows for multidisciplinary clues to be used in common-link questions, which are themselves well-represented in Yaphe trash. Some claim the "other" distribution stints video games or other fields, while some claim it means the Big 3 are relatively underrepresented.<br />

<br />
'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011) and seven overall top-three Chicago Open finishes, eleven consecutive top-bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 32 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of Minnesota's two annual events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College and open playing career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering five tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup 12 was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford. By virtue of appearing in the final, Minnesota defended its ACF undergraduate championship.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals for the first time and, riding the coattails of [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT. Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, perhaps alongside only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play one final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] came out, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Peter Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />
<br />
In 2016, Andrew teamed up with Rob Carson, [[Jerry Vinokurov]], and Jay Bhasin to win the Stanford mirror of "stanford housewrite." In April 2016, Andrew and Rob were named as among the 25 best players in the first 25 years of ACF, with former Minnesota players [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Brendan Byrne]] earning honorable mentions. With Rob, [[Tejas Raje]], and [[Billy Busse]], Andrew finished tied for second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />

<br />
'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011), 11 consecutive top bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 31 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of Minnesota's two annual events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
<br />
==High school==<br />
Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College and open playing career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. Playing [[Cardinal Classic]] with various regulars of the [[Brown]] team, Andrew achieved a [[grail]] over a [[Berkeley]] team. The team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering six tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup twelve was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up in sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals for the first time and, riding the extensive coattails of [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT. Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, perhaps alongside only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play one final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] came out, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Peter Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />

Andrew played for two years for [[Chaska High School]] in Minnesota. Career highlights include a 3-14-13 line at HSNCT in 2005 and a runner-up finish at [[Chip Beall]]'s 2006 national tournament. Rob was one of his high school teammates.<br />
<br />
==College and open playing career==<br />
Andrew joined the University of Minnesota team during his freshman year along with Rob. Their college careers both got off to a slow start, as the Minnesota team attended few circuit events. Andrew played the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Novice Tournament at [[Illinois]] in the spring. With teammates [[Ezra Lyon]], [[Meredith Johnson]], and [[Rita Otto]], Andrew and Rob won the 2007 [[College Bowl]] National Championship. In July, Andrew and Rob played their first circuit event together at the [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
After playing few circuit tournament during 2006-07, the Minnesota team became one of the most active in the country in 2007-08. Andrew served as the club's president during a year in which a new crop of Minnesota players won its first tournament ([[EFT]] at Chicago), played eleven circuit events, and won the [[ACF]] Undergraduate Championship. [[Gautam Kandlikar]] and [[Bernadette Spencer]] both matriculated to Minnesota and became key members of the team.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, Minnesota added [[Brendan Byrne]], who transferred from [[Drake]]. Brendan put on an impressive performance at the [[2008 Chicago Open]], leading the field in scoring and carrying a team also consisting of Rob, Andrew, and Gautam to third place; that lineup became Minnesota's regular A-team over the next two years. Andrew won nine regular events playing with various Minnesota teammates; regular Minnesota team member [[Mike Cheyne]] also came to Minnesota in the fall. The team took fourth place at both the [[2009 ICT]] and [[2009 ACF Nationals|ACF Nationals]], repeating as ACF undergraduate champions and winning the ICT undergraduate championship vacated by [[Harvard]].<br />
<br />
In the 2009-10 season, Andrew won the [[2009 Chicago Open]] playing with Rob, Brendan, and [[Matt Weiner]]. After a successful regular season that included three circuit tournament victories, Minnesota placed third at the [[2010 ICT|ICT]] and defeated [[Michigan]] in the undergraduate final, 515 to 125.<br />
<br />
At the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], Minnesota was one of the two undefeated teams in the preliminary round robin, with a record of 13-0. After a loss to [[Maryland]] in the playoff round robin, Minnesota had to win its final playoff game, against defending champion [[Chicago]], to make a one-game final. Andrew had his best game of the tournament, answering six tossups to propel Minnesota into the final against [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team. In the final, Stanford jumped out to a 195-0 lead, as Andrew Yaphe answered six of the first seven tossups. Brendan answered the final three tossups of the half to draw Minnesota closer; the halftime score was 190-70. In the second half, Minnesota mounted a furious comeback. All four team members scored during a six-tossup rally that spanned tossups fourteen through nineteen. Minnesota appeared to lead by forty going into the final question, which Stanford converted. After Stanford twentied the bonus, the final score appeared to stand at 270-260 in favor of Minnesota. But a pending protest on Rob's buzz on tossup twelve was resolved in Stanford's favor. The final score was 260-225, Stanford.<br />
<br />
In fall 2010, Andrew began law school at Minnesota. He played and won five regular-season events with various Minnesota lineups. The usual Minnesota A lineup of Rob, Gautam, Andrew, and Mike won the 2011 ICT, going undefeated, after the title was vacated by Harvard. That same lineup lost a one-game final to Yale at ACF Nationals. In summer 2011, he won Chicago Open with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]], defeating a team of [[Matt Weiner]], [[John Lawrence]], [[Matt Bollinger]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]] in the second game of an advantaged final. The tournament ended Matt Weiner's four-year reign of dominance atop the CO standings. In 2011, Andrew was a finals win at ACF Nationals away from becoming the second player after [[Ezequiel Berdichevsky]] to achieve the single-season [[Triple Crown]]; [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Evan Adams]], and [[Tommy Casalaspi]] later equaled Zeke's feat in 2014.<br />
<br />
In the 2011-12 season, Minnesota overcame the graduations of perennially top-ranked players Rob and Gautam to win four regular-difficulty tournaments. The continued emergence of [[Mike Cheyne]] as an elite player and the team's youth movement spurred by team president [[Eliza Grames]] kept Minnesota in the running at national tournaments as well. At ICT, Minnesota (Mike, Andrew, [[Gaurav Kandlikar]], and [[Robin Heinonen]]) was one of three teams to emerge unscathed through the prelims and wound up in sixth; at ACF Nationals, the team placed eighth. Andrew won scoring prizes at both nationals for the first time and, riding the extensive coattails of [[Mike Sorice]], [[Jeff Hoppes]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], finished second at [[Chicago Open]].<br />
<br />
In 2012-13, Andrew led Minnesota teams to two regular-season victories. In postseason play, Minnesota placed fifth at ICT. Andrew played ACF Nationals solo and finished 12th after reaching the top playoff bracket; he is one of a handful of players, perhaps alongside only [[Matt Weiner]] and [[Matt Lafer]], to qualify for a top bracket at a national championship playing solo. Andrew ended his career having made the top playoff bracket at eleven straight national championship tournaments, beginning with ACF Nationals in 2008.<br />
<br />
After graduating, Andrew has continued to play scattered events. In spring 2014, he was permitted to play one final tournament under the aegis of Minnesota, [[College History Bowl]], because of the tournament's cancellation the previous year; the Minnesota team finished fourth. Also in spring 2014, he won his 30th career tournament, [[Cane Ridge Revival]] at the University of Chicago, playing with [[Jerry Vinokurov]], [[Charlie Dees]], and [[Richard Yu]]. He missed his first Chicago Open in seven years to edit the tournament, but won the [[Chicago Open History Tournament]] riding the immense coattails of [[Jeff Hoppes]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, soon after Andrew's [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 Deadspin essay] came out, he tied for third at [[Chicago Open]] with Rob, [[Shan Kothari]], and [[Adam Silverman]]. He won his second history subject tournament, [[SHEIKH]], at the [[Michigan]] mirror of [[VCU Open]], playing with [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Carsten Gehring]], and [[Will Nediger]]. He won the [[Minnesota]] mirror of [[Missouri Open]] with Rob, Carsten, and Peter Ladner; for the 5.25 games before he had to leave, he and Rob broke the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski limit]].<br />

<div>The '''Hoppes-Mikanowski limit''' is broken when two players on the same team each score above 70 ppg in any format. It was first broken at the 2000 NAQT IFT at Yale, by its namesakes [[Jeff Hoppes]] and [[Jacob Mikanowski]]. (Stats from this performance are sadly [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=7127#p7127 lost] to the sands of time.) Their accomplishment remained unmatched until [[Emory]]'s 2013 mirror of [[VCU Closed]], where [[Will Butler]] and [[Adam Silverman]][http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1271/stats/all_games/teamdetail/#t1] became the second pair of players to do so. <br />
<br />
Further investigation reveals that the stat in question may have been a pre-modern stat called [[PATH]] rather than PPG, and the original "limit" may not have been set at all; regardless, its power to inspire has remained.<br />

'''Andrew Hart''' is a former player for [[Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]. Career accomplishments include winning the [[2011 ICT]], two runner-up [[ACF Nationals]] finishes, three [[ACF]] undergraduate titles (2008-10), two [[NAQT]] undergraduate titles (2009-10), two [[Chicago Open]] championships (2009 and 2011), 11 consecutive top bracket finishes at ICT and Nationals from 2008 through the end of his career in 2013, and 31 outright tournament victories (excluding side events).<br />
<br />
From 2008-2010, he was a member of a Minnesota team including [[Brendan Byrne]], [[Rob Carson]], and [[Gautam Kandlikar]], considered among the best undergraduate teams of all time. Along with those three, he was a runner up at the [[2010 ACF Nationals]], which [[Andrew Yaphe]]'s [[Stanford]] team won in a close final. In 2011, Andrew was, along with [[Rob Carson]], [[Gautam Kandlikar]], and [[Mike Cheyne]], on the champion Minnesota team at [[ICT]] and the runner-up team (to [[Yale]]) at [[ACF Nationals]]. With Brendan, Rob, and [[Matt Weiner]], he won the [[2009 Chicago Open]], a title he won again in 2011 with [[Seth Teitler]], [[Selene Koo]], and [[Jeff Hoppes]]. With Rob, he holds the dubious distinction of being a [[College Bowl]] national champion.<br />
<br />
Andrew is a full member of [[ACF]], a member of [[NAQT]], a former member of [[PACE]] who served as head editor of the 2009 [[NSC]], a founding editor of [[HSAPQ]], the head editor of the [[2014 Chicago Open]], and a co-creator of Minnesota's two annual events: [[Minnesota Open]] and [[MUT]].<br />
<br />
In June 2015, Andrew wrote a [http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-was-a-quizbowl-champion-1707805654 long essay] for Deadspin about his quizbowl career and the game in general.<br />
