The University of Maryland is a large, state school in College Park, Maryland.
Origins
The program was founded in the Fall of 1978. Gary Stolovy wrote all the questions for an It's Academic-style intramural tournament in the Spring of 1978 whose final match was hosted by Mac McGarry. This sparked interest for intercollegiate competition. Student Union program coordinator Stephanie Bowers and committee members Paul Tannenbaum, Bob Maranto, Brick Barrientos and Stolovy were among those instrumental in founding the program.
History
In 2008, Maryland won the Division I ICT. That year, Maryland won a series of regular season events including FICHTE, ACF Regionals, two different NAQT Sectionals, the VCU mirror of MUT, the UNC mirror of Illinois Novice, Cardinal Classic, Penn Bowl, PARFAIT, Titanomachy, ACF Fall and EFT. The general A Team present at these tournaments includes Jonathan Magin, Charles Meigs, Chris Ray and Jeremy Eaton, although Mike Bentley and Dan Suzman have occasionally played on the A Team at these tournaments. Jonathan Magin was also on a team that won Illinois Open and the Chicago Open.
In 2007, Maryland won the 2007 ICT Division II title. The team also won ACF Fall that year hosted at UNC.
Maryland was one of the original schools to de-affiliate from CBI and form ACF.
Members of the Maryland team have a cult-like love for The Knot, a buzzer system which gets its name for the mess that results from the 16 wires attached to the main unit used for buzzing. In 2008, the club bought a second Knot, and is considering buying further Knots.
Tournaments
The University of Maryland traditionally hosts only one college tournament each year, TIT or the Terrapin Invitational Tournament. However, being something of a nexus of quizbowl on the East Coast, Maryland typically hosts a large number of ACF and mACF tournaments during the year. The school is also a frequent site of national tournaments on both the high school and college circuits, being the host of 2004's PACE NSC, 2006's ICT and 2007's TRASHionals. It was scheduled to host 2008's ACF Nationals before the Maryland Scheduling Department mucked things up.
In 2007, Maryland was behind the two trash tournaments, ASS or the Atlantic Seaboard Skirmish and The Chris McCray Tournament For Academic Excellence. ASS II was held in the summer of 2008, although it remains unclear as to whether these tournaments will still be run now that Mike Bentley has left Maryland.
Maryland also hosts two house written high school tournaments in the fall and spring. The Maryland Fall Classic tournament traditionally was a variation of the It's Academic format, although it has recently switched to pyramidal questions. The Maryland Spring Classic tournament has been an mACF style tournament for many years.
In the past, Maryland used to host a novice tournament called DSHIT. This was discontinued in 2005 due to a lack of interest.
