'''Tim McElroy''' is a former player for the [[University of Chicago]]. As a first-year student at Chicago, he was the captain of the school's second [[NAQT]] Division II team, which also included [[Jeremy Newtson]], but failed to qualify for ICT. He then vowed to win the Div II championship in his second year. With the help of freshmen [[Seth Samelson]], [[Kannan Mahadevan]] and [[Bruce Arthur]], he made good on his boast at the [[2005 ICT]].

He was subsequently elected President of the Chicago Team, but disappeared shortly after the start of the 2005-2006 season due to his new-found addiction to World of Warcraft.

[[Bruce Arthur]] considers Tim one of his most important mentors, and credits Tim's advice with preventing him from quitting quizbowl as a first-year.
