The '''Ontario Hybrid Tournament''' (started as '''Ottawa Hybrid''', with some name changes year-over-year) is an annual half-pop culture, half-academic tournament created by members of the Eastern Canada quizbowl circuit. The tournament began in 2005 as a way to fund [[Ottawa]]'s travel to ICT, with subsequent editions usually involving some or all packet-submission. Though initially critiqued alongside [[VETO]] as an example of bad Canadian quizbowl practices, the tournament has consistently grown in quality and remains popular within the circuit and has seen mirrors elsewhere.

[[Ottawa]] did not write the Hybrid this year. The annual March hybrid tournament was intended to be be run jointly by two high schools named The [[Bell]] [[Lisgar]] Academic & Sexy Trash Open Inside the South-East (BLASTOISE). The same writing, editing, and fee structure was used, and [[Patrick Liao]] suffered some academic consequences by spending time to be the head editor. Ultimately, [[Bell]] gave up their editorial position and the tournament was run solely by [[Lisgar]]. [[Jordan Palmer]] and his team won the tournament again. [[Ottawa]] was second. BLASTOISE was mirrored in several sites in the United States.

The hybrid was edited by a team of [[Dennis Beeby]], [[Melinda Mah]], Brendan McKendy, [[Jordan Palmer]], [[Radu Popescu]], and [[Shelby Robert]],. The packet-submission tournament was announced only a month before the event, resulting in some very tight deadline for early submission discounts. A freelance team of Rein Otsason from [[Toronto]], Huma Zafar from [[Waterloo]] and adults Eric Smith and Aaron Dos Remedios defeated a freelance team of Charles Korwin from [[Carleton University]], [[Derek So]] and Hunter Book fom [[McGill]], and Andrej Vukovic from [[Lisgar]]. Eric Smith was the highest scorer.

The editing team consisted of Jordan Palmer, Dennis Beeby, Shelby Robert, Brendan McKendy, and [[Joe Su]]. Waterloo A, aka The Bald Soprano in Britney Spears, ([[Aayush Rajasekaran]], Christine Irwin, Akosua Asanta, Cam MacInnis) won the tournament, and [[Derek So]] from McGill was the top scorer. [[Michigan State]] finished second, after [[Colonel By]] forfeited a tiebreaker because the tournament was running late due to every game room being on a different floor with the elevator being the only accessible mode of transportation.

The tournament went through multiple name changes from 2015 onwards, being known variously as Toronto Hybrid, Ottawa Hybrid, Canadian Hybrid, and Ontario Hybrid. Ottawa hosted its last iteration of Hybrid in 2017, with Brendan McKendy as the head editor. Aayush Rajasekaran head-edited the 2018 and 2019 editions. [[Erik Christensen]] head-edited 2020's arguably misnomered Ontario Hybrid, which for the first time found a sizeable American audience through a 22 team Discord mirror.
