Michael Arnold was a player at the University of Chicago. He more frequently goes by "marnold" or variants thereof like "marhola" (originated by Kevin Olmstead and his illegible handwriting) or "manhole" (accidentally coined by Seth Samelson but heartily endorsed by Andrew Yaphe).
Actual Quizbowl
Michael has been a member of some tournament-winning teams. At ELVIS in 2007, Andrew Yaphe buzzed a lot and Michael pretty much just sat there. He managed to actually contribute to the Chicago B team that won ACF Fall in 2007 and he won the award for top Div II scorer at 2008 ACF Nationals.
In the 2008-2009 season, he was part of Chicago A's victories at ACF Winter, Penn Bowl, TIT, Cardinal Classic, and most notably 2009 ACF Nationals. He was also on Stone Cold Peter Austin, the third place team at 2009 Trashionals.
In 2009-2010, he again regularly played on Chicago A, winning some regular season tournaments, finishing second at 2010 ICT and third at 2010 ACF Nationals. He also joined Mike Cheyne, Rob Carson and David Seal on the winning team of the inaugural CULT tournament.
He was a contributing writer for the Chicago Open Trash Tournament in 2008 and 2009 and was the primary writer for the tournament in 2010. He was vice-president of the Chicago team from 2007-2009 and team president from 2009-2010.
After graduating from Chicago, Michael went to Columbia Law School.
