The '''2016 Chicago Open''' was won by Young Mukherstein, consisting of [[Jordan Brownstein]], [[Eric Mukherjee]], [[Will Nediger]], and [[Jacob Reed]], who cleared the field with a 14-0 record. Significantly, although the team included two previous Chicago Open high scorers (Brownstein and Nediger), only Mukherjee had won the tournament before, refuting John Lawrence's [http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16213&p=288570#p288580 prediction] that CO had become impossible to win without at least two previous champions on a team.

The tournament was edited by [[Matt Jackson]] and [[John Lawrence]], with subject editing by [[Mike Bentley]], [[Mike Cheyne]], [[Adam Silverman]], [[Ewan MacAulay]], [[Shan Kothari]], [[Jake Sundberg]], and [[Aaron Rosenberg]]. Jackson and Lawrence were originally slated to head-edit the tournament but had to [http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18420&p=313546 step down] late in the process, necessitating the recruitment of additional editors.

==Tournament results==
For the fifth year in a row, the winning team cleared the field; moreover, its players had the first, second, and tied-fourth most powers in the field.

==Individual results==
Jordan Brownstein single-handedly out-powered every other team in the field.

==Question reception==
The tournament was widely hailed as being of exceptional difficulty, while also being extremely difficult, with extremely (but consistently) stingy powermarks to boot.
