After playing in the 1990s, Peter McCorquodale is now best-known for establishing and running [[VETO]]. Except for one year, he has always played solo. As a result, he wins the individual scoring title and creates logistical difficulties in the [[guerrilla]] format during his bye rounds.

McCorquodale set up one of lengthiest question-writing guides on the Internet for an early edition of VETO. After complaints of it being a relic of the 90s, he made some updates for the 2007 edition. [http://www.caql.org/events/veto07q.html] The document still contains many lies, such as "This question, unlike the previous example, is more like a puzzle in the beginning, rewarding more than "pure" knowledge (but not punishing it). Many of the best questions have this quality."

He also runs the [http://www.caql.org Canadian Academic Quiz League] website, and runs the Victoria Day Rare Entries Contest on the qb-canada mailing list.
