==Team history==
 +
The Bellarmine quizbowl team began in 2007, playing various tournaments of poor quality. During its first full year of good quizbowl, 2008-09, Bellarmine's two teams made the second round of the [[2009 HSNCT]] playoffs. The next year, Bellarmine took 4th at the [[2010 HSNCT]]. The year after that, Bellarmine took 3rd at the [[2011 HSNCT]] and (controversially) 6th at the [[2011 NSC]].
 +
 
 +
The [[2012 Bellarmine]] team was very successful: A team of [[Ankit Aggarwal]], [[Sameer Rai]], [[Nikhil Desai]], and [[John Cherian]] won the [[2012 HSNCT]]. The team of Ankit, Sameer, and Nikhil placed 2nd in the [[2012 NSC]] and won [[NASAT]], besides doing very well at Bay Area college tournaments.
 +
 
 +
Since that nationals run, Bellarmine has continued to field a strong quizbowl program with a number of [[HSNCT]] playoff appearances. Bellarmine is also a frequent host of quizbowl events in the Bay Area and a key part of the local [[circuit]].

The Bellarmine team began in 2007, competing at only a few local tournaments on mostly A-level sets (to this day, captain Tanay Kothari has never played a non-NAQT tournament). Its A team generally consisted of seniors [[Matt Menard]] and Raphael Murillo, junior James Hill III, and freshman Tanay Kothari. Matt, who later went on to Chicago, led Bellarmine's scoring throughout the year.

The team got more serious in 2008-2009, as freshmen Nikhil Desai and Ankit Aggarwal and sophomore Phil Yakushev entered the team. Those three would join senior Terry Drinkwater and sophomore Ben Gulmon on the incredibly young Bellarmine B, which would tie for 43rd at HSNCT with Bellarmine A, a team consisting of seniors Garrett Kingman, Nitin Egbert, and James Hill III, junior Vinayak Viswanadham, and sophomore Tanay Kothari. The aforementioned term "team got more serious" does not, of course, refer to playing on better sets; rather, the team started studying actively.

The 2009-2010 season, Bellarmine's third, saw the team pick up the pace. Tanay Kothari and Nikhil Desai traded "lead scorer" status at early tournaments in November (Saratoga, which Bellarmine won by beating 10 MSJ teams in a row, and Cardinal Junior Classic, in which Bellarmine blew a lead of 230 - (-10) against MSJ A to take second). The team then proceeded not to play a tournament until February (for Tanay, until HSNCT), at which point Bellarmine participated in the [[T-Party]] at Stanford. A team of Nikhil, Phil, Ankit, and freshman John Cherian finished with a 2-10 record, with wins over Case Western Reserve and Berkeley B. Nikhil picked up the 4th place scoring prize, putting up about 40ppg. The team of Nikhil, Phil, Ankit, Vinay, and freshman Kshithij Shrinath then competed at the West Coast Invitational, finishing 2nd on both days.

Team history

The Bellarmine quizbowl team began in 2007, playing various tournaments of poor quality. During its first full year of good quizbowl, 2008-09, Bellarmine's two teams made the second round of the 2009 HSNCT playoffs. The next year, Bellarmine took 4th at the 2010 HSNCT. The year after that, Bellarmine took 3rd at the 2011 HSNCT and (controversially) 6th at the 2011 NSC.

The 2012 Bellarmine team was very successful: A team of Ankit Aggarwal, Sameer Rai, Nikhil Desai, and John Cherian won the 2012 HSNCT. The team of Ankit, Sameer, and Nikhil placed 2nd in the 2012 NSC and won NASAT, besides doing very well at Bay Area college tournaments.

Since that nationals run, Bellarmine has continued to field a strong quizbowl program with a number of HSNCT playoff appearances. Bellarmine is also a frequent host of quizbowl events in the Bay Area and a key part of the local circuit.
