New page

'''THAT''' (short for '''Trash Hybrid Academic Tournament''') was a planned [[packet-submission]], [[hybrid]] high-school tournament to be held on [[Discord]] in late summer 2020. It was cancelled in early July, before packets had been fully received.

==Announcement==
THAT was free to enter, so long as each team submitted a packet of 20 tossups. The per-packet distribution consisted of 5 [[trash]], 1 geography, 1 CE, and the remaining 15 subdivided roughly [[mACF]]-style. The tournament was to be held in a league-style format similar to [[MOST]], with pairs of teams self-scheduling each match within a given time window. Uniquely, for every [[power]] scored by the players, THAT's editors pledged to donate 15 cents out-of-pocket to Black Lives Matter organizations.

Initially, THAT attracted criticism from many community members for its editors' young age, inexperience, and demonstrated lack of maturity. In particular, its [https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=374555 forums announcement] only listed part of its editing team by name—presumably to hide the involvment of [[Ameya Singh]], who had infamously hosted the disaster known as [[2019 NHBB Online]].

==Scandal and Cancellation==
In early July (before the tournament began), [https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=336&t=24204 it was revealed] that a player had engaged in serious misconduct in the THAT tournament Discord server, and that at least one of THAT's [[tournament director]]s had known about and condoned the inappropriate behavior. It was subsequently revealed that the misconduct had been encouraged by [[Basil Sousounis]], whom the TDs had allowed to play despite his long history of misbehavior.

Once this scandal came to light, THAT was promptly canceled.
