 Princeton has a lengthy though obscure history of participation in [[College Bowl]]. It is known that the club lost to Agnes Scott College in a 1966 episode of the TV program, and that it placed at 4th at CBI nationals in 1984, earning a plate that, though once having been thought to be stowed away in the club's trophy hoard, has unfortunately gone missing.
-With the arrival of [[Jeff Stewart]] from [[BYU]] around 1994, Princeton's previously CBI-only program began attending and hosting ACF events. Princeton deaffiliated from CBI after the 1996-1997 school year.

Princeton deaffiliated from CBI after the 1996-1997 school year. The legacy of the longtime CBI exclusivity has, as recently as 2021, still left an impact on the club, as its official email listserv and school email address officially utilize the phrases collegebowl and cbowl, respectively.
-Princeton has, in the past, been relatively competitive on the national circuit. Led by [[Jeff Hoppes]], Princeton won the Undergraduate title at [[ICT]] from 2000-2, and won an unofficial ACF Undergraduate title in 2000 and 2002. Since then, it has not won any national titles.

 According to [//www.naqt.com/hsnct/20for20/matthews.jsp an NAQT interview] with [[Patrick Matthews]], Princeton and [[Penn]] had a "mostly friendly" rivalry in the [[College Bowl]] era, where Penn eliminated Princeton from qualifying for CBI [[NCT]] at the ACUI Regionals four years in a row.
 ===Tournament Hosting===
-Years ago, Princeton hosted [[PARFAIT]], which was originally a packet submission tournament and later became a house written tournament. Previous Princeton college tournaments included [[Princeton Buzzerfest|Buzzerfest]] (1997-2004) and the [[Orville Redenbacher Invitational]] (c. 1996-1997).

-Today, Princeton hosts an annual [[Princeton High School Tournament|high school tournament]], traditionally using [[NAQT]] packets. The tournament has done so well in some years that it attracted teams from as far away as [[Detroit Central Catholic]], and had as many as 69 teams in attendance. Other years, though, the tournament has had numerous issues, most notably in the form of major delays. Later tournaments had buzzer sets break mid-tournament and some schools leave halfway through without notifying the tournament director.

Other years, though, the tournament has had numerous issues, most notably in the form of major delays. Given the lack of large buildings on campus with many individual classrooms in a compact area, tournaments often by necessity are held across multiple buildings, occasionally to disastrous effect: [https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=268241#p268241 PHSAT XXI] infamously used five different buildings for a 48 team tournament. Later tournaments had buzzer sets break mid-tournament and some schools leave halfway through without notifying the tournament director.
 Princeton has also hosted other college events like [[EMT]] and [[WAO II]].

 ===Controversy===
 Princeton and Rutgers' decision to cancel going to [[ACF Regionals 2007]] at [[Maryland]] controversially turned that tournament into a farce, consisting only of [[VCU]], two house teams, and a high school team.  As a result, a long argument between [[Matt Weiner]], members of the Princeton team, and others flared up on the message boards in [http://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3644 this thread].
