==Quizbowl career==

===High school===

James attended [[Wando]] from 2005-2006. The 2006 season was noted for a close loss to [[James Island]] in the county circuit. The team only played county circuit tournaments in part due to a chaotic coaching situation where several different people tried to run the team.

===College===

James struggled at his first tournament, the the 2006 [[COTKU]] Open at [[UTC]]. He played better at 2007 [[Sword Bowl]], winning the Division II scoring title. A highly sleep-deprived James finished second in scoring at the 2008 [[SE Invitational]] at [[Berry]].

James' first mainstream circuit tournament was 2008 [[TIT]] at Georgia. He was initially awarded the third-place scoring title but reported a stats error that ultimately awarded him the first-place title. At 2008 [[ACF Regionals]] at Vanderbilt, James finished fourth in scoring.

He then [[quitting quizbowl|quit]] to focus on [[Scrabble]]. He did not play or practice during the 2009 regular season, and there was no team. He came out of retirement to attend the 2009 [[VCU Open]] (with [[Lily Chen]], [[York Chen]] and [[Zihan Zheng]]) and [[CaTo/TaCo]] (with York, Zihan and [[Carsten Gehring]]). He plans to resume competition with a reconstituted Furman team in the 2010 season.

==Etc.==

James has been a tournament [[Scrabble]] player since 2004. Results here: [http://www.cross-tables.com/results.php?p=1822]

James often uses the name "Marchbanks" in Internet quizbowl contexts, a reference to the G. B. Shaw play ''Candida''.
