The University of Maryland is a large public university located in College Park, Maryland. Its quizbowl club is officially called the Maryland Academic Quiz Team (MAQT).
Origins
The program was founded in the Fall of 1978. Gary Stolovy wrote all the questions for an It's Academic-style intramural tournament in spring 1978 whose final match was hosted by Mac McGarry. This sparked interest for intercollegiate competition. Student Union program coordinator Stephanie Bowers and committee members Paul Tannenbaum, Bob Maranto, Brick Barrientos, and Stolovy were among those instrumental in founding the program.
The team, featuring Brick Barrientos, Townsend Reese, Robert Whaples, and Robert Saltzberg, won the 1981 College Bowl National Championship in Huntington, WV.
History
Maryland was one of the original schools to de-affiliate from CBI and form ACF.
In 2007, Maryland won the 2007 ICT Division II title. The team also won ACF Fall that year hosted at UNC.
In 2008, Maryland won the Division I ICT. That year, Maryland won a series of regular season events including FICHTE, ACF Regionals, two different NAQT Sectionals, the VCU mirror of MUT, the UNC mirror of Illinois Novice, Cardinal Classic, Penn Bowl, PARFAIT, Titanomachy, ACF Fall and EFT. The general A Team present at these tournaments includes Jonathan Magin, Charles Meigs, Chris Ray and Jeremy Eaton, although Mike Bentley and Dan Suzman have occasionally played on the A Team at these tournaments. Jonathan Magin was also on a team that won Illinois Open and the Chicago Open.
The team has been successful regionally and nationally since Magin's graduation, as Chris Ray's playing career continued unabated. Maryland's many top-bracket finishes since have included 4th place at the 2011 ICT.
For much of its history, the Maryland team used an ancient 16-player buzzer system affectionately dubbed "The Knot," replacing it in full when it broke in the late 2000s. It then broke a second time around spring 2013 and was not repaired thereafter.
In 2014–15, the year after Ray's departure to Chicago, the team won the Undergraduate National Championship at the 2015 ICT and finished third at 2015 ACF Nationals. The latter finish was Maryland's highest at a national tournament since 2008.
A Maryland team consisting of Jordan Brownstein, Weijia Cheng, Ophir Lifshitz and Sam Rombro won the 2017 ACF Nationals.
Hosting
Being something of a nexus of quizbowl on the East Coast, Maryland typically hosts a large number of tournaments during the year for multiple audiences and difficulty levels.
Traditionally, Maryland edited and hosted an annual Terrapin Invitational Tournament. In the mid-2010s, it was replaced with the housewrite collaborations SUBMIT, STIMPY, and MYSTERIUM. The 2020 iteration of Terrapin was spun into Terrapin Open, a Nats-minus tournament.
Maryland traditionally hosted two high school tournaments in the fall and spring. The Maryland Fall Classic tournament originally used a variation of the It's Academic format, then switched to pyramidal questions (first HSAPQ, then NAQT). The Maryland Spring Classic tournament was an mACF style tournament for many years.
In the past, Maryland used to host a novice tournament called DSHIT. This was discontinued in 2005 due to a lack of interest.
Maryland has hosted many national tournaments on both the high school and college circuits: 2004 NSC, 2006 ICT, 2007 TRASHionals, 2010 ACF Nationals, 2011 NASAT, 2012 ACF Nationals, an 2013 NSC. It was scheduled to host 2008 ACF Nationals before the Maryland Scheduling Department mucked things up.

MAQT's website existed for more than 15 years until shortly after being redesigned in 2013, when the university discontinued web hosting for student organizations.[1]
In July 2020, ACF rehosted Dave Hamilton's 1999 archive of the website to exhibit a snapshot of a bygone era of college quizbowl.[2][3]
