-The University of Illinois ("Illinois" or "UIUC") is a large public university located in Champaign, Illinois and Urbana, Illinois. Illinois is represented in quizbowl by the Academic Buzzer Team ("ABT"), which was founded by Chris Goheen and others circa 1979 and is by some accounts the oldest continuously active registered student organization at Illinois.

 The ABT also hosts an annual high school tournament: the [[Earlybird]]. The Earlybird was originally housewritten, but shifted to using [[HSAPQ]] question sets. After the dissolution of HSAPQ, Earlybird used various regular-difficulty housewrites or NAQT Invitational Series sets. In the past, the ABT historically produced and hosted the ABT Solo, a one-on-one tournament with short ACF-style questions usually produced by [[Donald Taylor]]. The ABT has provided facilities for [[IHSSBCA]]'s annual meeting and for its [[Team Illinois]] tryouts. In 2011, the IHSSBCA recognized the ABT as the [[Robert Grierson Friend of Scholastic Bowl Award|Friend of Scholastic Bowl]]. Additionally, the ABT hosted the Illinois NAQT State tournament in 2008 and from 2014 to the present.
-Several other high school quizbowl or quizbowl-like events have been held at Illinois, including the long-running Illinois [[Phi Scholars Tournament]], though the ABT is not generally involved in these other tournaments.

-In the late 2000's and early 2010's, Illinois traditionally hosted two collegiate tournaments: the [[Matt Cvijanovich]] Memorial Novice Tournament ([[MCMNT]]) and [[Illinois Open]] (IO). In 2011, Illinois Open was written at a post-ACF Nationals difficulty level by [[Ike Jose]] with science questions contributed by [[Jeremy Eaton]], [[Surya Sabhapathy]], and [[Michael Hausinger]]. It had previously been run as an open [[packet submission]] tournament with a difficulty around [[ACF Regionals]] or a little harder, sometimes has been paired with [[Maryland]]'s [[Terrapin]], and in 2008 was a housewrite mostly by [[Trygve Meade]]. The MCMNT was almost always open only to first- and second-year players, and alternately required packet submission, been written entirely by Illinois players, paired with the Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament (MUT), and paired with Brown’s Early Fall Tournament (EFT). In 2021, Illinois Open was revived, head edited by [[Auroni Gupta]] and written by past and current Illinois players.
