Tuhin Chakraborty
Current college	Michigan (2018–)
High school	Troy (2014–2018)
Stats	HDWhite • NAQT

Tuhin Chakraborty played quizbowl at Michigan and Troy High School.

Misbehavior

At the fall 2020 ACF Winter tournament, Tuhin had to submit a packet in advance in order to compete legitimately (as a junior under ACF's packet submission policy), he initially did not sign up; but right after the last deadline passed, he seemingly changed his mind, forcing Michigan to split its teams by mixing veterans and freshmen, which caused inconveniences.^[1]

As a result, several Michigan executive board members eventually resigned, and the Iowa quizbowl team banned Tuhin from their upcoming tournament.^[2]

-In March 2019, Tuhin managed to register an unaffiliated team called "Tuhin"
-to compete alongside his friends at the [[MSU]] site of [[2019 Terrapin]],
-a [[closed]] tournament under standard [[ACF eligibility rules]],
-despite him attending Michigan, whose quizbowl club officially registered several teams for the tournament.<ref>

-Even more audaciously still, Tuhin felt entitled to play on a more experienced team than Michigan C,
-despite deciding he was too good to do his fair part in the civic duty of packet submission like most other juniors
-and making it difficult on others to coordinate and enjoy the competition without causing any inconveniences.
-After attending [[2020 ACF Winter]], Tuhin was given the responsibility of communicating the Michigan C team's roster,
-and purposely omitted one of the team's female players
-in an attempt to fraudulently gain a $60 shorthanded team discount from [[ACF]].
-He justified his actions by claiming that the player,
-whose presence at the tournament was attested,
-"didn't contribute" and "for all practical purposes [...] didn't show up."
-He called his attempt to save money by invalidating and minimizing his own teammate "the brilliance of Tuhin."
-After Tuhin received only a meaningless two-week ban from team practices for his actions,
-the matter was reported in a cautionary post that emphasized his previous history of toxic and misogynistic behavior
-and alleged that the Michigan club's executive board had
-grievously mishandled the situation.<ref>[https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=381691#p381691 Misconduct and Michigan's Mishandling of It], Nov 30, 2020</ref>

-The post included a quote where Tuhin claimed the reporter "blew the whole
-situation out of proportion because [they] felt 'residual tension' from when
-[they] rejected [Tuhin] romantically two months ago." Tuhin resurfaced five
-months later, waiting until they graduated, and doubled down on this deflection, claiming that they "felt some form
-of perverse romantic tension towards [him] because nobody else in their right
-mind would do something like this," using ''this'' to refer to "foul and petty
-behavior" like reporting Tuhin's misconduct and Michigan's mishandling of it to the public and sharing incriminating messages made by
-Tuhin with others. Tuhin also insisted that he "[asks] for affirmative consent
-before I persist in any romantic endeavors and that I receive it before
-continuing" despite no one ever mentioning that, and made several false claims
-about the Michigan club's executive board and the involvement of ACF and [[NAQT]].
-Tuhin was banned for one month for this inappropriate and derisive post and others.<ref>[https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=384356#p384356 Re: Misconduct and Michigan's Mishandling of It], Apr 29, 2021</ref>
-For bringing up irrelevant things like his [[PPG]]
-in an attempt to defend his own misconduct or argue otherwise,
-see also [[Weiner's Laws#Weiner's Law #4|Weiner's Law #4]].
-For thinking, incredibly, that what matters is only PPG or winning,
-or assuming that his performance or experience in quizbowl competitions
-confers any authority or moral high ground,
-and not respecting basic norms of behavior,
-see also [[cult of PPG]].
