==Tournaments==
 
Minnesota traditionally holds two tournaments.  The packet submission [[Deep Bench]] tournament is traditionally the Midwest's first large-scale invitational of the fall.  It was won by the [[University of Illinois]] in 2007, with [[Mike Sorice]] as the lead scorer.  Beginning 2008, Minnesota gave up the Deep Bench format and instead hosted the First [[Minnesota Open]], which was the Midwest's first truly open event of the academic year. It featured side events such as a Literature Doubles, [[Jeremy Eaton|Jeremy Eaton's]] Video Game Tournament, and a Trash Tournament edited by [[Colin O'Donnell]]. The 2008 iteration was held on October 18. Minnesota Open has persisted as a difficult open tournament which has attracted both Midwestern and national teams. In 2009, it featured such side events as Mike Cheyne's vanity literature shootout, the fine arts tournament KLEE, a guerrilla set of sports questions, and Eric Mukherjee's Lederberg science tournament. In 2010, the side events included Bruce Arthur's Wild Kingdom, a "Before and After" packet by Mike Cheyne, a guerrilla set of video game RPG questions, Mike Bentley's VAIN and Eyes That Do Not See II, and Dallas Simons' classics set.
 
 
 
Minnesota also hosts the [[Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament]], which used to be an [[NAQT]] [[IS]] set event but is now packet-submission. The 2008 iteration took place March 29. The 2011 MUT set was not packet submission.
 
 
 
Minnesota is also very active in hosting high-school tournaments. In the winter, Minnesota hosts the annual Gopher Invitation tournament which is run on an [[NAQT]] [[IS]] set. Other tournaments hosted in 2008 include [[Chitin Classic]] and [[2008 Minnesota PACE Spring Qualifier|PACE Spring Qualifier]].
 
 
 
In Fall 2008, Minnesota hosted the 2008 Ubu Roi Season Opener.
