''Not to be confused with [[CMST]], the middle school set.''

'''CMST II''' (loosely standing for '''Chicago-Maryland Spearheaded Tournament''') was a [[open]] tournament held in the fall of 2022. It was head-edited by [[John Marvin]] of The [[University of Chicago]], with [[Adam Fine]], [[Wonyoung Jang]], [[Jason Golfinos]], [[Clark Smith]] as subject editors. [https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25364]

The tournament was written at a "Nationals-minus" (3.5 [[Collegiate_difficulties|dot]]) difficulty. It made some changes to traditional collegiate quizbowl norms, including:
* [[Power]]s are intended to be worth 20 points; [[neg]]s incur no scoring penalty
* Packets of 22/22
** Expansion of Fine Arts to 4/4, including guaranteed "Other music" (jazz, blues, fusion, etc.) in every packet
** Expansion of Thought to 3/3, including distinct "Philosophy 1" and "Philosophy 2" subdistributions getting 1/1 apiece
** Expansion of Social Science to 2/2, including distinct "Soft" and "Hard" subdistributions getting 1/1 apiece
** Elimination of standalone Mythology and Current Events categories, with a guarantee of 1/1 "decentralized" Mythology content across the various categories per packet (and some unspecified amount of current events spread about as well)

The "II" in the name may allude to [[Cal's Mid-Spring Tournament]], a prior open of similar difficulty, using the same initialism in 2018.
