Ophir started playing quizbowl at Walter Johnson in 2007 and was part of the University of Maryland team that won 2017 ACF Nationals.
Ophir created 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 articles about quizbowl. Many of these resources 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).
