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 with him. 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.

In the fall of 2015, Gowri realized that there were no longer enough Inglemoor Quizbowl members to form a team, and began recruiting hard. His first pick-up was Wyatt Carpenter. Carpenter was quickly promoted to Co-President of the club. In the following weeks, several Inglemoor High School juniors were recruited as well, including future president Cameron Do and Kasper Lindberg.

 ==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 with him. 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).

-In the fall of 2015, Gowri realized that there were no longer enough Inglemoor Quizbowl members to form a team, and began recruiting hard. His first pick-up was [[Wyatt Carpenter]], an avid reader of [http://SlateStarCodex.com Slate Star Codex] who gave birth to some of the greatest Inglemoor Quizbowl memes, such as Howl and [[Schopenhauer]]. Because of his unparalleled skill as a memeologist (and incredible knowledge of the Westermarck Effect), Carpenter was quickly promoted to Co-President of the club. In the following weeks, several Inglemoor High School juniors were recruited as well, including future president Cameron Do, and the team cheerleader, [[Kasper Lindberg|Kasper "Weeb" Lindberg]].

-==Team System==
-Inglemoor usually divides itself into two teams for tournament purposes:
-*Inglemoor A for Allen Ginsberg
-*Inglemoor B for Bernie Sanders & Thirty Vermont Artists
-The correct collective noun for these teams is "Inglemoors". It is unclear who or what Inglemoor C would be for, and the team avoided having to think about this by [[Kasper Lindberg|keeping itself small]].

-===The Presidential Succession Problem===
-There are only two criteria that the president of Inglemoor Quizbowl must meet:
-#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.
