The University of British Columbia quizbowl team was established in 2003 and plays mostly in Vancouver, Canada.
The team at UBC was founded by Grace Lam, and was then led by Mike Whitaker. The team had very quick success, though only against cross-town rival Simon Fraser or at VETO. A team from UBC finished 19th in DI at the 2005 ICT, the best result by a Canadian team in the top division until Toronto's result in the 2009 NAQT SCT in Dallas, where they finished 17th. Toronto would go on to set the current record for a Canadian school in 2010 at the Chicago NAQT ICT, where they finished 6th.
The following year, some key players graduated and internal disputes - particularly between Fred Sheppard and Daniel Pareja - flared up across the Web. UBC's quizbowl reputation was somewhat tarnished by these events, though it is currently in a more peaceful existence now.
UBC regularly hosted BC Bowl and a mirror of the Ottawa Hybrid Tournament, and alternated hosting duties for the NAQT SCT with Simon Fraser University in the sparsely-attended Northwest region.
Little has been heard of the team since 2008.
