<div>'''Scattergories''' is a series of very hard, whimsical open side events written by [[Will Nediger]]. There have been three iterations so far, running in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. The third of these was written in collaboration with [[Jaimie Carlson]]. Players have highly praised all three Scattergories sets, and Will and [[JinAh Kim]] are planning a fourth set in the near future.<br />
<br />
Since all Scattergories sets are avowedly vanity tournaments, they skew towards things Will likes, but otherwise cover a wide range of topics in literature, arts, thought, and a lot of 'mixed' (''sensu'' [[NAQT]]) questions.<br />

'''Chris Heffner''' was a quiz bowl player at [[Michigan State]]. He participated in Minnesota quiz bowl for his entire high school career at [[Wayzata]], until he made the great jump over Wisconsin to MSU. He supported bad quizbowl through his enjoyment of geography, current events, and politics, and was known to complain that all non-NAQT question sets have "too much literature." He later completed a PhD in linguistics at [[Maryland]], where he did not play quiz bowl.<br />

''This article describes the Quiz Bowl Team at the University of Minnesota. For high school Quiz Bowl in the state of Minnesota, see [[Minnesota Quiz Bowl Alliance]].''<br />
<br />
<br />
The '''University of Minnesota''' is a four-year public university located in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. Minnesota is an active team that participates in nearly all regional tournaments and regularly sends teams to [[ICT]] and [[ACF Nationals]]. <br />
<br />
Long known as a [[CBI]] powerhouse, in 2008 the team achieved the unique feat of qualifying teams for the playoffs at both [[2008 College Bowl Nationals|CBI]] and [[2008 ACF Nationals|ACF]] Nationals, ''on the same day''. Due to an amusing decision in the marketing department, the club has sweatshirts claiming to have won seven national titles from 2004-2011, a fact that neglects mentioning there are two national tournaments (three if you count Division II ICT, which they did) and that a majority of the 'titles' are for undergraduate champion. <br />
<br />
The club maintains an international collegiate contact list for clubs in the US, Canada, the UK, and Pakistan which is updated by the current president based off of information obtained from regional teams. The team also host pop culture and special events trivia tournaments for the larger campus community, including serving as on-stage entertainment before OK Go took the stage in 2011. <br />
<br />
==Tournaments==<br />
From 2008 to 2012, Minnesota, or some contingent of recent graduates, produced and hosted [[Minnesota Open]] in the fall. The team also wrote the [[Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament]] or MUT every spring until 2016. In 2012, MUT was written in conjunction with [[Illinois]].<br />
<br />
The team hosts several high school and college tournaments each year, including [[GINVIT]], and [[MUT]]. <br />
<br />
==Current Players==<br />
<br />
Current Minnesota players include PhD students [[Sam Bailey]] and [[Shan Kothari]], law students [[Peter Estall]] and Evan Brown, and a large contingent of undergraduates, including [[Brian Kalathiveetil]], John Waldron, Arun Balakrishna, Janet Wang, [[Tora Husar]], [[Joe Kammann]], and Nibir Sarma.<br />

<br />
<br />
The '''University of Minnesota''' is a four-year public university located in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. Minnesota is an active team that participates in nearly all regional tournaments and regularly sends teams to [[ICT]] and [[ACF Nationals]]. <br />
<br />
Long known as a [[CBI]] powerhouse, in 2008 the team achieved the unique feat of qualifying teams for the playoffs at both [[2008 College Bowl Nationals|CBI]] and [[2008 ACF Nationals|ACF]] Nationals, ''on the same day''. Due to an amusing decision in the marketing department, the club has sweatshirts claiming to have won seven national titles from 2004-2011, a fact that neglects mentioning there are two national tournaments (three if you count Division II ICT, which they did) and that a majority of the 'titles' are for undergraduate champion. <br />
<br />
The club maintains an international collegiate contact list for clubs in the US, Canada, the UK, and Pakistan which is updated by the current president based off of information obtained from regional teams. The team also host pop culture and special events trivia tournaments for the larger campus community, including serving as on-stage entertainment before OK Go took the stage in 2011. <br />
<br />
==Tournaments==<br />
From 2008 to 2012, Minnesota, or some contingent of recent graduates, produced and hosted [[Minnesota Open]] in the fall. The team also wrote the [[Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament]] or MUT every spring until 2016. In 2012, MUT was written in conjunction with [[Illinois]].<br />
<br />
The team hosts several high school and college tournaments each year, including [[GINVIT]], and [[MUT]]. <br />
<br />
==Current Players==<br />
<br />
Current Minnesota players include PhD students [[Sam Bailey]] and [[Shan Kothari]], law students [[Peter Estall]] and Evan Brown, and a large contingent of undergraduates, including [[Brian Kalathiveetil]], John Waldron, Arun Balakrishna, Janet Wang, Tora Husar, Joe Kamann, and Nibir Sarma.<br />

''This article describes the Quiz Bowl Team at the University of Minnesota. For high school Quiz Bowl in the state of Minnesota, see [[Minnesota Quiz Bowl Alliance]].''<br />
<br />
<br />
The '''University of Minnesota''' is a four-year public university located in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. Minnesota is an active team that participates in nearly all regional tournaments and regularly sends teams to [[ICT]] and [[ACF Nationals]]. <br />
<br />
Long known as a [[CBI]] powerhouse, in 2008 the team achieved the unique feat of qualifying teams for the playoffs at both [[2008 College Bowl Nationals|CBI]] and [[2008 ACF Nationals|ACF]] Nationals, ''on the same day''. Due to an amusing decision in the marketing department, the club has sweatshirts claiming to have won seven national titles from 2004-2011, a fact that neglects mentioning there are two national tournaments (three if you count Division II ICT, which they did) and that a majority of the 'titles' are for undergraduate champion. <br />
<br />
The club maintains an international collegiate contact list for clubs in the US, Canada, the UK, and Pakistan which is updated by the current president based off of information obtained from regional teams. The team also host pop culture and special events trivia tournaments for the larger campus community, including serving as on-stage entertainment before OK Go took the stage in 2011. <br />
<br />
==Tournaments==<br />
Minnesota, or some contingent of recent graduates, produces and hosts [[Minnesota Open]] in the fall. The team also writes the [[Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament]] or MUT every spring. In 2012, MUT was written in conjunction with [[Illinois]]. <br />
<br />
The team hosts several high school and college tournaments each year, including [[GINVIT]], and [[MUT]]. <br />

<div>'''Missouri Open''' is a name given to three distinct tournaments.<br />
<br />
The first tournament called Missouri Open was held on June 6, 2009 at the University of [[Missouri]] in Columbia, MO. It was a high-difficulty packet submission event edited by [[Charlie Dees]], [[Shantanu Jha]], and [[Auroni Gupta]] [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6826]. A 2010 edition of similar difficulty was meant to occur via a mirror of [[Sun N' Fun]] XI [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10165] but was canceled because [[Charlie Dees]] was unable to be in Columbia the day of the tournament.<br />
<br />
The second tournament called Missouri Open, a distinct event, was a non-packet-submission, [[ACF Fall]]-difficulty tournament written and edited by [[Itamar Naveh-Benjamin]] for use on July 6, 2013 [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14224]. It was also mirrored on the East Coast at Virginia Tech.<br />
<br />
The third tournament called Missouri Open was a regular difficulty tournament with NAQT-length questions written by [[Will Alston]], [[Itamar Naveh-Benjamin]], [[Shan Kothari]], [[Ewan Macaulay]], and [[Rohith Nagari]] in fall 2015. It was mirrored at several sites across the country.<br />

<div>'''VCU Open''' is an annual summer [[open]] tournament hosted and written by [[VCU]] and its affiliates, including [[Matt Weiner]].<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
The tournament was held in March as a fundraising venture for VCU's trip to the [[2007 ICT|ICT]]. It mirrored the very easy Illinois Novice set in order to attract more ordinary college teams and even high school teams.<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
The tournament moved to the summer to signal its true open difficulty level. It was written by Matt Weiner with science by Billy Beyer. The tournament was paused during Round 9 so Mike Bentley could run [[Gunpei Yokoi]], allowing for the last playoff round's writing to be finished.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
<br />
The difficulty of VCU Open was toned down somewhat, and it involved some semi-impromptu packet submissions due to fears that the set would not be otherwise completed.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
VCU Open 2010 was expanded to two sets and co-written by [[Michigan]] and [[UCSD]]. The largest writing portion, and the overall editing, came from VCU's [[Evan Adams]]. The Saturday portion of VCU Open had a difficulty level between [[ACF Regionals]] and [[ACF Nationals]] while the more beginner-friendly Sunday portion had a difficulty level between [[PACE NSC]] and [[ACF Regionals]]. Everyone played both sets regardless, and much fun was had by all. <br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
VCU Open 2011 consisted of an academic tournament, on Saturday, and a trash tournament, on Sunday, both hosted at [[Maryland]]. The academic tournament was written by [[Evan Adams]] (all non-science except social science and philosophy tossups), [[Cody Voight]] (all science) and [[Matt Weiner]] (social science and philosophy tossups) and the trash tournament was written by [[Mike Cheyne]] and [[George Berry]].<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
Due to a late start in writing and the prospects of acquiring rooms at VCU looking dim, the tournament was not held in 2012.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
VCU Open 2013 was written by [[Cody Voight]] (science, music, film, geography), [[Matt Weiner]] (non-American literature, religion, philosophy, social science), [[Daniel Hothem]] (all history), and [[George Berry]] (painting, non-film misc. arts, trash, current events), with freelance contributions from [[Auroni Gupta]] (American literature, other mythology) and [[Sarah Angelo]] (Greco-Roman mythology).<br />
<br />
===2014===<br />
<br />
VCU Open 2014 was written by [[Matt Weiner]], [[Mike Bentley]], [[Sinan Ulusoy]], [[Shan Kothari]], [[Dan Puma]], and [[Jordan Brownstein]]. It was somewhat coolly received, in part because many of the questions were written the night before the tournament.<br />

<div>The '''2012 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament''' was held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois.<br />
<br />
==Results==<br />
===Division 1===<br />
[[2012 Virginia|Virginia]] ([[Evan Adams]], [[Matt Bollinger]], [[Tommy Casalaspi]] and [[David Seal]]) beat [[2012 Illinois|Illinois]] ([[Greg Baboukis]], [[Billy Busse]], [[Ike Jose]], and [[Austin Listerud]]) 545-150 in the first game of an advantaged final.

In addition, [[Ike Jose]] was the last remaining undergraduate All-Star.<br />
<br />
Illinois was awarded the Division 1 Undergraduate championship, but it was later realized that [[Greg Baboukis]] was in his fifth year of SCT/ICT play, making them ineligible. The next highest placing undergraduate teams were [[MIT]] and [[Ohio State]], who should have played for the UG championship. Even later, the Undergraduate title was given to Ohio State outright, after it was revealed that MIT's [[Josh Alman]] had been [http://www.naqt.com/ict/2012/unauthorized-question-access.html cheating]. <br />
