Tuhin Chakraborty is a former player for Michigan and Troy High School.

Misconduct

After attending 2020 ACF Winter, Tuhin purposely omitted one of the team's female players from the rosters of Michigan C in an attempt to fraudulently gain a shorthanded discount from ACF. He justified his actions by claiming that the player "didn't contribute" and "for all practical purposes [...] didn't show up", calling his attempt to save money by minimizing his teammate "the brilliance of Tuhin." This was reported on the forums after Tuhin received only a two-week ban from practices for his actions in a post that emphasized his previous history of misogynistic behavior and alleged that the Michigan e-board had grievously mishandled the situation.[1] As a result, the Iowa quiz bowl team banned Tuhin from their mirror of IKEA.[2]

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 returned several months later and doubled down on this, 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 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 claims about the Michigan e-board and the involvement of ACF and NAQT. Tuhin was banned for one month for this post and others.[3]
