Not to be confused with Columbia College, Columbia Independent, or Columbia (NJ).

Columbia University is a private university in New York City. While their team has roots dating back to College Bowl in 1953, its current iteration was founded in 1994 and has been continuously active since. They have won two national championships: ACF Nationals in 2019 and ICT DI in 2021.

The current iteration was most likely founded by BYU alum Bill Atkinson in the 1994-95 season. The school left College Bowl and started attending ACF events two years later.

They won ACF Nationals 2019 with a team of Charlie Dees, Rafael Krichevsky, Ben Zhang, and Kevin Koai. They won the 2021 ICT (the chronologically next championship to happen) with an entirely different roster of Will Alston, Gerhardt Hinkle, Noah Chen, and Noah Sheidlower and came in second at 2021 ACF Nationals with a team of Alston, Chen, Sheidlower, and Caroline Mao.

History

The club competed in the 1997 ICT under an A team of Bill Atkinson, Arif Kabir Paul Johnston, and Perry Smith.[1]

In 2024, a team of freshmen Cooper Roh, Jack Rado, and Jason Qin, transfer student Derek Chen, and graduate student Andre Wong came in second in 2024 ICT DII, losing the final to Waterloo. This is Columbia's best ICT DII finish.

Hosting

Columbia has hosted tournaments for both high school and college teams for the Northeast circuit. Their first known hosted tournament was SCT in 1999. Columbia hosted ACF Nationals in 2013, 2014, and 2017. It also hosted UG Nats in 2024. Similarly, Columbia has hosted open tournaments, starting with Minnesota Open in 2012, and regularly since hosting WAO and Cambridge Open in 2017. Columbia grew to becoming a known college host particularly under the auspices of Geoffrey Wu, who was Vice President and tournament director between 2022-23 and 2024-25.

Circa 2013 they started hosting high school tournaments. They hosted the NAQT Metro New York State Championship in 2015 and 2016, the Columbia Cup Spring Championship annually between 2017 and 2019 and the Columbia Fall Invitational in 2019.
