'''Queen's University''' is a university in Kingston, Ontario. A team was established for [[College Bowl]] in 1987, and the club has been on and off ever since, but currently has an active team.

At one point, Queen's was burdened by the high costs associated with College Bowl and travelling to the regional tournament. To fundraise, Gabe Desjardins managed to secure a 25-cent levy from every Queen's student's fees. With a student population of roughly 10,000, the Queen's College Bowl club was earning around $2500 a year just for renewing their status. Today, this money does not appear to be coming in.

==History==

Most team history is based on anecdotes by Bruce Lin, Bobby Hsu, and Radha Rajagopalan[http://clubs.myams.org/trivia/qcbpast.htm ].

===1987-1993===
A team at Queen's was established for playing College Bowl. It was formed directly by the student federation, who apparently hand-picked players in an attempt to find Americans (assumedly for answering the American questions in College Bowl). An open club was established soon after, and regularly travelled to New York state for tournaments. The club went defunct after 1993 due to graduation and a lack of student government support.

===1995-1999===
A team was re-established for the 1995 season, consisting largely of [[Reach for the Top]] alumni. Funding was very high during this period (see introduction). The club continued to play College Bowl, but they began participating in [[ACF]] and other independent events. The club helped start the Canadian quizbowl circuit: [[Waterloo]], [[UWO]], [[Ottawa]], and [[McMaster]] established teams during this time.

===2000-2006===
Queen's de-affiliated from College Bowl. The club was very active in early [[NAQT]] tournaments in Canada. Activity waned over this time, though a Division II team won at the 2006 Canadian SCT at [[McGill]].

==Current team==
An official Queen's club was mostly absent in 2006/07, with new grad student Jordan Palmer going to several tournaments with friends as an unaffiliated player. There appears to be a more active club this year.
