The University of California, Santa Barbara, commonly abbreviated UCSB, is a public university in Santa Barbara, California. An initial period of activity from 2017 to 2019 was followed by six years of dormancy, during which the club held practices but did not attend any tournaments. Beginning with 2025 SCT, President Erica Wang oversaw a revival of the club, catalyzed by the arrival of eventual club record scorers Dmitri Anh-Minh Tran, known mononymously as AMT, and Winston Zuo. A team composed of Ashlee Bacconi, Dash Daniels, AMT, and Winston became the first ever UCSB team to qualify for a national tournament by earning a wildcard spot in the October 2025 IQBT qualifiers. Ashlee, Dash, Alec GeoSimonian, and AMT became the first to represent UCSB on a national stage at 2026 UCT.
