The Chicago Open Literature Tournament is an all-literature tournament played as a side event at the University of Chicago on the same weekend as Chicago Open.

2007 Edition

The tournament was written by Jonathan Magin, Dave Letzler, Dennis Jang, Chris Borglum, Ahmad Ragab, and Phil Durkos, and edited by Jonathan Magin. It featured 13 rounds of 20 tossups, and resulted in a team of Mike Sorice and Jerry Vinokurov defeating a team of Selene Koo and Seth Teitler in the finals. Though intended to be a singles event, a shortage of moderators forced it to be played as a doubles tournament. It was widely praised for being the most well-written event at that year's Chicago Open.

2008 Edition

The 2008 edition of the CO Lit tournament was written by Jonathan Magin, Dave Letzler, Dennis Jang, Ahmad Ragab, and Eric Mukherjee, and Shantanu Jha. A team of Andrew Yaphe and Mike Sorice went undefeated to win the title. Andrew Yaphe was also the top scorer, with an impressive statline of 55-66-22.
