Jerry Vinokurov is a quizbowler currently of Brown University, where he serves as de facto team leader. Pound for pound, he is the angriest man in quiz bowl, and is also known (by Jacob Vannucci) as scary Mr. internet Jerry due to his angry posting on HSQB about bad tournaments [1]. Apart from that, he is also notable for spearheading the movement that will make the northeast the region with the highest concentration of quiz bowl facial hair, and as the pictures from ACF Nationals 2008 will attest, he has largely been successful.


History

Vinokurov was a member of the Berkeley renaissance along with Seth Teitler, Selene Koo, Jeff Hoppes, Ray Luo, etc., a unique convergence of fortunate events which lead to several victories, including a 2nd place and 3rd place finish at nationals in 2004 and 2005, respectively.

After finishing his undergraduate in math and physics, he came to Brown, where he started the team, advertising with a hand-written poster in the mailroom - leading to Eric Mukherjee joining the team. In later years, the team picked up, acquiring Dennis Jang, Aaron Rosenberg, Daniel Klein, Jacob Baskin, and several others, many of whom became top players in their own right. Under his leadership, the team became a dominant writing and playing force, winning 2nd place at ACF Nationals 3 years in a row (losing to Chicago each time), and finishing in the top bracket at both nationals in 2010.

During this time, he won Chicago Open 2008 with Eric Mukherjee, Matt Weiner, and Jonathan Magin and won 2nd place at said tournament in 2007 and 2009. He plans to edit CO in 2010.
