Ophir Lifshitz is a member of the quizbowl community who is interested in the design and documentation of institutional knowledge, community building and sustainability, and technology in quizbowl. Ophir started playing quizbowl at Walter Johnson in 2007 and was part of the University of Maryland team that won 2017 ACF Nationals.
Ophir creates living resources for quizbowl, such as the College Quizbowl Calendar and its difficulty scale, a platform for detailed stats to track where players buzz in every question, a style manual, and a pronouncing dictionary, and has written several insightful articles about quizbowl. Many of these projects are hosted on ophir.li or minkowski.space.
Ophir has contributed to dozens of question sets, especially the successes of Terrapin (2016, 2019, and 2020 Terrapin Open) and other sets at Maryland (MYSTERIUM, STIMPY, and SUBMIT). He has consulted freelance (providing copyediting, proofreading, pronunciation guides, and much more behind-the-scenes work) for nationally-run events by ACF (member since 2018, Regionals, Fall, Winter), NSC (PACE member since 2017), and NASAT, and his handiwork left impressions on almost every college quizbowl set in 2018–2019.
Ophir is also known for his excellence as a volunteer moderator, mentor, and question writer. Ophir edits the music audio question set series Guerilla Imaginary Landscape.
