February is a bad month for quiz bowl, with a number of scandals occurring or becoming public:

2009
the Neil Sammader cheating incident
Matt Knupp's scandal [1]
the incident at the Southeast SCT (DII)
2011
the Dmitri Halikias fraud/cheating incident [2]
2012
Josh Alman cheats at the SCT
2013
Josh Alman's cheating at various tournaments is publicly revealed
2017
A "statistically anomalous performance by the Windhaven Park E team" at the St. Mark's Invitational [3]

February is also prone to snow storms which ruin or reschedule sites of NAQT SCT and ACF Regionals, perhaps the only two bright spots of the month.
