The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a private university in Cambridge, MA. It notably showed up with two full teams at the Brandeis Mirror of Deep Bench 2007, and also notably excels on badly edited question sets, like Moon Pie (note: this is untrue on NAQT sets). Their A team remains excellent competition on real questions, however, recently earning 2nd at ACF Regionals 2008 and 8th at the 2008 ACF Nationals.

They are also known for using [marginally] creative aliases at every tournament they attend, thus preventing anyone from knowing for sure whether anyone at MIT is actually any good.

Tournaments

In the past, MIT has hosted Beaver Bonspiel (which in 2008 was a mirror of Stanford's Cardinal Classic), and an annual IS set high school tournament, the Beaver Academic Tournament. They also hosted ACF Fall 2007 to critical acclaim.

Apparently, the 2008 CBI RCT for the Northeast ("Region 1") was hosted at MIT, though this happened without the club's knowledge. Noted Rhode Island powerhouse Providence College finished first.
