As most players at Berkeley and now at UCLA can tell you, this is
know as French Canadian style, frequently adopted by Steve Kaplan
when on the warpath. It made the 6-hour trips aromatic.
I don't know if I would call this a superstition, but I don't like
to play under my own name at tournaments. I usually adopt some sort
of moniker that comes from either something that comes up during a
trip or in another quizbowl setting.
