Before the 2020 free agency, CHS announced the creation of three new teams: the C Team, the D Team, and the E Team. The C Team signed freshman Shravan Chengalva, sophomores Lucca Mo, Eric Yang, and Matthew Rao, and junior Raymond Pan. The B Team attempted to trade Jordan Seigel and a 2025 first-round pick to the C Team in return for Raymond Pan, but the trade was nullified by NAQT for "Quizbowl reasons." Archit Kalra signed a 3-year, $90 million extension with the A Team, becoming the highest paid player in Quizbowl history. [[Nolan Jones]], affected by the tragic loss of Nolan James, decided to take his talents to South Beach and join the B Team in his ESPN-exclusive documentary "The Quizision," joining forces with Neal Joshi and Harry Zheng to form a Big Three. However, the B Team would lose their first option player in Shrithan Sandadi to the E Team, with Sandadi signing a 2-year, $30 million contract with the expansion franchise. The last expansion franchise, the D Team, signed Jack Liu on a $2, 2-year contract and Canaan He on a $5, 3-year contract, and are expected to become the first team in Quizbowl history to lose every match this coming 2020-21 season.

The 2021-2022 season marked the senior season for most of Carmel's A Team, making it a make-or-break year for many unfinished accomplishments and accolades, namely winning a state title. In the first half of the season, the Hounds notably clinched first at Reinstein Open and won Purdue Boilermaker Buzzathon under the pseudonym "Lemrac". Following these big victories, the Hounds went undefeated at Indiana State Regionals and the IASP Indiana State Quiz Bowl Championship, becoming state champions for the first time in the program's short history. At the [[2022 HSNCT]] in Atlanta, Georgia, the Hounds finished the preliminary rounds with the "1" card, notably defeating eventual tournament runner-up [[Hunter]] in a 3-1 placement match after their team arrived, eventual tournament champions [[DCC]], and the final undefeated team of the tournament, 9-0 [[Arcadia]], in the final round of prelims. Following an amazing first day of play, the Hounds ended 15th after a controversial loss to DCC and an upset by [[Livingston]] in the losers' bracket.

One year after the Brain Game's cancelation in 2017, the head coach of Carmel's A.C.T. left, causing the A.C.T. to become the Quizbowl team with the introduction of coaches James Hambley and Shawn Curtis and through actions by club president Justin Yu and seniors Joey Heerens and Andrew Sleugh to reform the Quizbowl club entering the 2018-19 season.

Following a long drought of no tournaments, Carmel competed at the 2019 NAQT State Quiz Bowl Championship, where Carmel's A Team finished runner-up, qualifying for nationals, and the B Team made a surprising finish at 4th.

Season Summary

After a huge victory for A Team and a narrow defeat for B Team, the A Team went to Tri Junior-Senior High School in Straughn, Indiana for the IASP Indiana State Regionals, qualifying for the IASP Indiana State Quiz Bowl Championship with a decisive first-place finish. Following the major win at Regionals, the Hounds traveled to William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio to compete in the Mason Mashup Invitational, where A Team grabbed the first-place finish and B Team would finish 3rd. At the IASP Indiana State Quiz Bowl Championship, the A Team would finish 3rd overall, marking an end to the 2019-20 season for the Greyhounds as the 2020 HSNCT would be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before the 2020 free agency, CHS announced the creation of three new teams: the C Team, the D Team, and the E Team. The C Team signed freshman Shravan Chengalva, sophomores Lucca Mo, Eric Yang, and Matthew Rao, and junior Raymond Pan. The B Team attempted to trade Jordan Seigel and a 2025 first-round pick to the C Team in return for Raymond Pan, but the trade was nullified by NAQT for "Quizbowl reasons." Archit Kalra signed a 3-year, $90 million extension with the A Team, becoming the highest paid player in Quizbowl history. Nolan Jones, affected by the tragic loss of Nolan James, decided to take his talents to South Beach and join the B Team in his ESPN-exclusive documentary "The Quizision", joining forces with Neal Joshi and Harry Zheng to form a Big Three. However, the B Team would lose their first option player in Shrithan Sandadi to the E Team, with Sandadi signing a 2-year, $30 million contract with the expansion franchise. The last expansion franchise, the D Team, signed Jack Liu on a $2, 2-year contract and Canaan He on a $5, 3-year contract, and are expected to become the first team in Quizbowl history to lose every match this coming 2020-21 season.

Season Summary

In the start of 2021, the B Team shocked the Carmel program by winning Country Roads Invitational in Pennsylvania, with A Team placing third and both teams qualifying for the 2021 HSNCT.

After a dominant performance at Indiana state regionals, the Hounds fell in two close games to St. Joseph in the Indiana State finals to come runner-up for the second time in Carmel's history. The Hounds rebounded heavily come nationals season, with the A Team placing 8th and the B Team placing 31st at the 2021 HSNCT.

Season Summary

The 2021-2022 season marked the senior season for most of Carmel's A Team, making it a make-or-break year for many unfinished accomplishments and accolades, namely winning a state title. In the first half of the season, the Hounds notably clinched first at Reinstein Open and won Purdue Boilermaker Buzzathon under the pseudonym "Lemrac". Following these big victories, the Hounds went undefeated at Indiana State Regionals and the IASP Indiana State Quiz Bowl Championship, becoming state champions for the first time in the program's short history. At the 2022 HSNCT in Atlanta, Georgia, the Hounds finished the preliminary rounds with the "1" card, notably defeating eventual tournament runner-up Hunter in a 3-1 placement match after their team arrived, eventual tournament champions DCC, and the final undefeated team of the tournament, 9-0 Arcadia, in the final round of prelims. Following an amazing first day of play, the Hounds ended 15th after a controversial loss to DCC and an upset by Livingston in the losers' bracket.
