-A '''side event''' is a tournament held on the same weekend as a larger, more popular tournament. Side tournaments are frequently less broadly appealing than their host tournaments, and they use the greater appeal of the host event to attract a sufficiently large field. Side events are frequently, but not always, [[novelty tournaments]], to the point that the term side event has become a byword for novelty tournament.
-Events notable for having side events include:
-* [[Chicago Open]]
-* [[Illinois Open]]
-* [[Minnesota Open]]
-===Side event weekends===
-The difficulty of attaching side events to any given tournament has spawned '''side event weekends''', in which primarily side events are played. Side event weekends are held routinely in the Midwest, and the NorCal Weekend of Quizbowl has been held since 2016.
