The 2006 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament was held at University of Maryland on April 7-8, 2006.
Results
Division I
The overall champion in Division I was Berkeley, who went undefeated to win the tournament. Illinois was the runner-up.
The undergraduate champion was Williams College, defeating Chicago B in an advantaged final.
Division II
The Division II champion was Stanford University.
Criticism
The tournament was delayed for a while as rooms were relocated from the Math building to Jimenez due to a scheduling conflict.
Criticisms of the tournament included the aforementioned logistical difficulties, as well as a number of complaints that were frequently applied to NAQT tournaments of this era: while question quality was on an upward trend, players found it difficult to justify the high cost of playing and in particular were critical of NAQT's seeming unwillingness to listen to feedback. The clock-killing neg continued to be a major argument against timed rounds.[1]

There were a number of protest-related controversies at the tournament. On at least one occasion, teams were informed of the ruling on a protest at the half, only for it to be reversed without informing either team involved. The eventual fourth place VCU was denied a crucial protest against Stanford when an answer of "Herman" was ruled incorrect for a tossup on "Arminius" without proper research being done, leaving them X-3 and forcing a tiebreaker for third (which they lost). This incident (sometimes called "The Arminius Scandal") inspired the :arminius: smiley on the forums.
Aftermath
In 2008, the clock-killing neg was made obsolete by rule changes that required any tossup-bonus cycle started during time to be finished.
Discussion on how to properly resolve protests continued for several years afterwards. Modern protest committees are no longer ad-hoc; it is no longer recommended to do provisional gameplay in anticipation of a protest ruling, and protests are always researched and generally taken more seriously by tournament staff (especially at nationals).
Various participants in the discussion of this tournament went on to become NAQT members and enact some of the changes they recommended; these included Jeff Hoppes and Seth Teitler.
