'''Justin Allen French''' or '''Justine Allen French''' is a player at [[UCLA]] alongside [[Anishka Bandara]]. Earlier, they attended [[Crystal Springs|Crystal Springs High School]].
 
 
 
Though a strong player, they are particularly notable for their public avowal of many radical stances and for their dogged promotion of authors Krasznahorkai and Juan Rulfo.
 
 
 
==Career==
 
===High school===
 
As lead scorer on [[Crystal Springs]], Justin placed 7th at [[2018 NSC]] and t-12 at [[2018 HSNCT|HSNCT]]. They also competed on the [[2017 NASAT|2017]] and [[2018 NASAT]] teams that placed 4th and 3rd respectively.
 
 
 
===College===
 
Shortly after starting at UCLA, Justin immediately gained notoriety for their emphasis that quizbowl should be exclusively on "real knowledge" and shunning the concept of carding. Their advocacy for aspects of world literature and art outside of the quizbowl canon motivated the distribution of RULFO.
 
 
 
In 2019, they mistakenly repeated a clue about lifting the fundamental group of the circle to a helix to prove isomorphism to the integers between their packet submission in ACF Nationals 2019 and their work for Lederberg 3, leading to UCLA receiving no packet discount.
 
 
 
More recently, they have become well-known for their staunch opposition to ACF's [[packet submission|packet-submission]] requirement.
 
 
 
==Writing==
 
They wrote for [[2019 NASAT]], [[2019 Chicago Open]], [[2019 ACF Fall]], as well as the side event [[RULFO]].
 
 
 
They also head-edited [[CALISTO]] and [[SATURNALIA]].
