This article is about the team at the university located in Ottawa, Ontario, CA. For the American liberal arts college, see Carleton College.
Carleton University is a university in Ottawa, Ontario. A trivia club was formed in the 2004-05 season, and officially established a year later.
History
In 2004, some students from Carleton attended practices at Ottawa. They remained unofficially part of Ottawa's club in the first year, and benefited from Ottawa hosting 4 tournaments that year. Andrei Janus formally set up a club at Carleton the following year, and Carleton's team has been independent ever since.
A Carleton-Ottawa rivalry never came to full fruition. Ottawa usually maintained an old guard that perpetually beat the newer Carleton players in tournaments. Carleton has no official tournament victories to their credit.
Hosted Tournaments
Carleton hosted "Ontario Bowl" in 2006 and the 2008 NAQT Canadian SCT.
Carleton, MN confusion
A few confusions have arisen between Carleton and a similarly-named Carleton College in Minnesota, which has a successful team. Most confusions have been related to NAQT:
- NAQT used the results of the 2005 Canadian SCT assuming Carleton College made a trip out to Ottawa
- Carleton University filled out an application for the 2006 ICT, mistakenly thinking that the "Carleton" on the invited list meant them.
- At least one e-mail has been sent to Carleton University's team asking why the 2008 "Canadian" SCT was in Minnesota.
- Carleton played against Carleton in the preliminaries of the 2008 ICT, presumably for the directors' amusement. The College won 375-35.
Possible Team Revival
The 2010-2011 academic year saw three local high school players who have achieved success in both Reach for the Top and NAQT. Sahil Agarwal was an important member of the 2010 Gloucester team that won Reach for the Top Provincials and came 4th at Reach Nationals. Maxim from Merivale was the team captain in 2009-2010, and played in many Reach for the Top Provincial tournaments and the 2009 National tournament, and Jibirl Jeewanjee was the team captain of Lisgar B, a team that came 4th in Ontario and 144th at the 2009 HSNCT in 2009-2010.
