This article is about the team at the university located in Ottawa, Ontario, CA. For the American liberal arts college, see Carleton College.
Carleton University is a university in Ottawa, Ontario. A trivia club was formed in the 2004-05 season, and officially established a year later.
History
In 2004, some students from Carleton attended practices at Ottawa. They remained unofficially part of Ottawa's club in the first year, and benefited from Ottawa hosting 4 tournaments that year. Andrei Janus formally set up a club at Carleton the following year, and Carleton's team has been independent ever since.
A Carleton-Ottawa rivalry never came to full fruition. Ottawa usually maintained an old guard that perpetually beat the newer Carleton players in tournaments. Carleton has no official tournament victories to their credit.
Hosted Tournaments
Carleton hosted "Ontario Bowl" in 2006 and the 2008 NAQT Canadian SCT.
Carleton, MN confusion
A few confusions have arisen between Carleton and a similarly-named Carleton College in Minnesota, which has a successful team. Most confusions have been related to NAQT:
- NAQT used the results of the 2005 Canadian SCT assuming Carleton College made a trip out to Ottawa
- Carleton University filled out an application for the 2006 ICT, mistakenly thinking that the "Carleton" on the invited list meant them.
- At least one e-mail has been sent to Carleton University's team asking why the 2008 "Canadian" SCT was in Minnesota.
- Carleton played against Carleton in the preliminaries of the 2008 ICT, presumably for the directors' amusement. The College won 375-35.
Modern Team Revival (2012)
Isuri Herath started a Carleton team in fall 2012. A critical mass of players from different schools including Lisgar, Centennial, and Merivale have successfully re-formed a team at Carleton in 2012-13. They've played in tournaments in Ontario, and they've hosted mirrors of 2012 Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament, 2013 Collegiate Novice, 2013 MFT.
