This article describes the Academic Buzzer Team at the University of Illinois. For high school Scholastic Bowl in the state of Illinois, see Illinois Scholastic Bowl.
The University of Illinois ("Illinois" or "UIUC") is a large public university located in Champaign, Illinois and Urbana, Illinois. Illinois is represented in quizbowl by the Academic Buzzer Team ("ABT"), which was founded by Chris Goheen and others circa 1979 and is by some accounts the oldest continuously active registered student organization at Illinois.
Tournaments
In the late 2000's and early 2010's, Illinois traditionally hosted two collegiate tournaments: the Matt Cvijanovich Memorial Novice Tournament (MCMNT) and Illinois Open ("IO"). The MCMNT was almost always open only to first- and second-year players. Some iterations required packet submission, while some other iterations were paired with the Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament (MUT) or Brown’s Early Fall Tournament (EFT). In 2021, Illinois Open was revived, head edited by Auroni Gupta and written by past and current Illinois players.
The ABT also hosts an annual high school tournament: the Earlybird. The Earlybird was originally housewritten, but shifted to using HSAPQ question sets. After the dissolution of HSAPQ, Earlybird used various regular-difficulty housewrites or NAQT Invitational Series sets. In the past, the ABT historically produced and hosted the ABT Solo, a one-on-one tournament with short ACF-style questions usually produced by Donald Taylor. The ABT has provided facilities for IHSSBCA's annual meeting and for its Team Illinois tryouts. In 2011, the IHSSBCA recognized the ABT as the Friend of Scholastic Bowl. Additionally, the ABT hosted the Illinois NAQT State tournament in 2008 and from 2014 to the present.
Several other high school quizbowl or quizbowl-like events have been held at Illinois, including the long-running Illinois Phi Scholars Tournament, though the ABT is not generally involved in these other tournaments.
