"We must secure the existence of Inglemoor Quizbowl and a future for dank memes." --The Inglemoor Quizbowl motto

The Inglemoor Quizbowl team is located in and around, but is not currently affiliated with, Inglemoor High School. They are moderately successful.

History

The first Inglemoor Quizbowl team was created in the fall of 2013 by Gokul Gowri, an Inglemoor High School sophomore at the time. After reading about quiz bowl online, Gowri begged his only three friends to go to the 2013 UW Fall Classic. Zhanpei Fang and Corrina Lee grudgingly agreed, and as a team, they placed fifth. Srijit Paul also attended for 2 rounds and answered no questions. Due to clerical errors, Paul was listed as the top player with 47.5 points per game. Cameron Pauly was unable to attend the 2013 Fall Classic because he was busy benchwarming at a water polo game, but when he finally showed up to a contest that winter, he turned out to be a quiz bowl monster (in every sense of the word).

Cameron Do (2016-2017)

The Presidential Succession Problem

There are only two criteria that the president of Inglemoor Quizbowl must meet are:

The president must follow these rules
The president must eventually appoint another president to succeed him who will follow these rules

The challenge presented by these criteria was first noticed by Wyatt Carpenter in 2016, who pointed out that, given the second law of thermodynamics, Inglemoor Quizbowl would eventually have to end, and this failure of the last president would ripple backwards via rule two, invalidating every single president. Various solutions the last president could have to this problem were discussed, including appointing the first president, or God. The problem was left unresolved because it didn't matter.
