'''Bruce Arthur''' is a quizbowl player who has attended the Roycemore School, the [[University of Chicago]], and [[Harvard]] Law School.

==Playing Career==

===Roycemore===
Bruce played quiz bowl at the Roycemore School under the auspices of the [[North Metropolitan Scholastic Bowl League|Metro North League]] and the [[IHSA]]. He can frequently be heard weighing the merits of the eccentricities of the traditional Illinois high school format, which include bounceback bonuses and bonus parts with point values indivisible by five.

Bruce matriculated to the University of Chicago in 2004.

===The University of Chicago===
At the University of Chicago, Bruce was a member of the five-man team that won the 2005 NAQT ICT Division II National Championship. His considerable knowledge of American history was instrumental in securing the title. In 2006, Bruce and his teammates captured the previously-defunct, now-revived ACF Undergraduate National Championship by finishing higher in the final standings of the tournament than any other all-undergraduate team.

Like his teammates [[Ray Sun]] and [[Tim McElroy]], Bruce won a number of opens and invitationals during his tenure at Chicago on teams led by [[Andrew Yaphe]].

Bruce completed his undergraduate degree requirements and graduated in only three years, receiving his diploma in June 2007.

===Harvard===
In 2007, Bruce started law school at Harvard. In 2007/2008, he played on Harvard teams that won ACF Fall, [[Deep Bench]], and [[Beaver Bonspiel]] XIV. Bruce was also part of a three-player team that won 2008 [[EFT]], a tournament [[2008 Harvard Crimson Article|closely followed by the media]]. By the fall of 2008, Bruce was one of the four typical members of Harvard A, alongside [[Ted Gioia]], [[Andy Watkins]], and [[Dallas Simons]]. Bruce was on Harvard A when they won 2009 ACF Regionals against a [[Jerry Vinokurov]] led [[Brown]] team. To keep Harvard eligible for the NAQT Undergraduate Championship, Bruce did not play [[ICT]] in either 2008 or 2009.

In August 2009, Bruce traveled to Canada and played the Hamilton, Ontario mirror of [[VETO]] with a team from the [[Toronto|University of Toronto]]. Bruce's team won the tournament.
