==Tournament History==

One feature popular with some teams is the trash round.  Many years this is run in the second part of the lunch break. Lunch is usually sold in the cafeteria due to a dearth of eating establishments in the vicinity of Charter.

An upcoming feature of this tournament will be an "all time" trophy, which has not yet been given a name.  For each year that they attended a school will be given a number of points equal to the number of wins earned by their highest placing team (JV or varsity) at the tournament. Beginning with Delaware Fall Open X, the team with the highest number of cumulative points will win the trophy. Winners are then reset to zero, so that the trophy rotates among top teams in subsequent years.

Participants include D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania teams.

The Delaware Fall Open was a high school quizbowl tournament held every December (usually the second Saturday) at Wilmington Charter. It has been succeeded by a tournament known as CSWIFT (Charter School of Wilmington Invitational Fall Tournament), held in November.

Tournament History

The tournament was first held in 2000 when Bill Tressler was a faculty member at the Sanford School. When Bill moved to Wilmington Charter, the tournament came with him, but Delaware Fall Open III was hosted by Salesianum.

Charter's team continued to host tournaments after Tressler's departure in June 2010.

This is one of the few tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic that offers a JV division. Any freshman or sophomore is eligible to play JV. A junior or senior who played no high school quizbowl before the current academic year is also eligible.

Participants include D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania teams.
