The '''2013 Chicago Open''' was won by Audobon Has No Speed Limit, consisting of [[Jeff Hoppes]], [[Selene Koo]], [[John Lawrence]], and [[Seth Teitler]], who cleared the field with a 15-1 record.

The tournament was edited by [[Matt Bollinger]], with subject help from [[Dennis Loo]], [[Sinan Ulusoy]], and [[Libo Zeng]] (science), and from [[Kevin Koai]] (music). In addition to the submitted packets, the tournament used writing by [[Matt Jackson]], [[Sarah Angelo]], [[Tommy Casalaspi]], [[Isaac Hirsch]], [[Shan Kothari]], [[Aidan Mehigan]], [[Max Schindler]], and [[Lloyd Sy]].

==Entry Policy==
When it became clear that more than the standard 17 teams were trying to sign up for the tournament, Bollinger inaugurated a policy of opening spots for the first 17 teams to submit packets [http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14294&start=50#p263230], rather than the traditional method of accepting the first 17 teams to sign up. Some people argued about this on forums.

==Tournament results==
Island of Misfit Quizbowlers ([[Doug Graebner]], [[Eric Mukherjee]], [[Marshall Steinbaum]], and [[Matt Weiner]]) won their first ten rounds to lead the tournament, before going 3-3 and ending in a four-way tie for second place. The winning team, Audobon Has No Speed Limit, lost in Round 9 to Fiends ([[Trevor Davis]], [[Andrew Hart]], [[Mike Sorice]], and [[Andrew Ullsperger]]) but won all their other games.

Audobon Has No Speed Limit led the tournament in powers (47), while Island of Misfit Quizbowlers led the tournament in points-per-bonus (18.47). An all-British team entered the tournament and finished last.

==Individual results==
The top three scorers were [[Will Nediger]] (43.75 ppg), [[Eric Mukherjee]], and [[Jonathan Magin]]. The 4th- through 6th-highest scorers were from the winning team, Audobon Has No Speed Limit (Hoppes, Lawrence, and Teitler). Jonathan Magin led the tournament with 20 powers. [[Chris Ray]] led the tournament with 27 [[negs]].

==Side events==
* [[Marshall Steinbaum]]'s [[Urgent Call for Unity]] was played as a history side-event and won by [[Jeff Hoppes]].
* [[David Seal]]'s [[Seth Teitler Presents: An Intimate Engagement With Trash]] was played as a trash side-event and won by The Marnold Believers ([[Colby Burnett]], [[Brian Hight]], and [[Yogesh Raut]]).

==Question reception==
Most forum discussion of the questions was about difficulty levels of specific answers, which means that the tournament was a success.
