 ===Airing of Grievances===
-In ''Seinfeld'', Festivus has two halves: the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength. Every "official" quizbowl Festivus (i.e those advertised on the forums) has eschewed the former to focus on the "Feats of Strength" aspect of the holiday via the playing of packets. This was not always the case: the IRC Festivus had an Airing of Grievances every year from 2002 to 2013. Though allegedly intended as a good-natured, funny affair, many participants used the event for toxic displays of rage, including threats of physical harm against other specific people. The first formal announcement of Festivus on the forums in 2014 coincided with the end of the practice, which in retrospect was an absolutely terrible idea.

This was not always the case: the IRC Festivus had an Airing of Grievances every year from 2002 to 2013. Though typically a good-natured affair intended to be funny, the 2012 Airing of Grievances saw an unidentified individual complain about specific people they had run into on the bus and [[Andy Watkins]] level threats of physical harm against people he perceived as his enemies. Though there was still an Airing of Grievances in 2013, the first formal announcement of Festivus on the forums in 2014 coincided with the end of the practice.

 Since 2017, Festivus has been held on [[Discord]]; this has included both the main quizbowl Discord and separate purpose-created servers. 2020 saw the event take cues from the structure of the [[Internet Charity Tournament]] to incorporate aspects like "an actual schedule" and "sign-ups".
