Justine Allen French is a player at UCLA. Earlier, they attended Crystal Springs Uplands School.
Though a strong player, they are particularly notable for their public avowal of many controversial stances about quizbowl, and for their dogged promotion of authors Krasznahorkai and Juan Rulfo.
Career
High school
As lead scorer on Crystal Springs, Justine placed 7th at 2018 NSC and t-12 at HSNCT. They also competed on the 2017 and 2018 NASAT teams that placed 4th and 3rd respectively.
College
Shortly after starting at UCLA, Justine immediately gained notoriety for their emphasis that quizbowl should be exclusively on "real knowledge" and shunning the concept of carding. Their advocacy for aspects of world literature and art outside of the quizbowl canon motivated the distribution of RULFO.
In 2019, they mistakenly repeated a clue about lifting the fundamental group of the circle to a helix to prove isomorphism to the integers between their packet submission to ACF Nationals 2019 and their work for Lederberg 3, leading to UCLA receiving no packet discount.
More recently, they have become well known for their staunch opposition to ACF's packet submission requirement.
Writing
Justine wrote for 2019 NASAT, Lederberg 3, 2019 ACF Fall, as well as the side event RULFO.
They also head-edited CALISTO and SATURNALIA.
