History

Post Quiz Bowl Years (2003-present)

2002 marked the end of the official UO Quiz Bowl club, but a few of its members have surfaced from time to time in various open tournaments, especially at VETO starting from 2008. The biggest highlight of this period was the victory in the 2009 VETO tournament in Vancouver, BC.

Philip was a member of the 2010 TRASHionals XIII runner-up Square Dance team. Sean teamed with Chris Grubb to win the 2009 Eurofest Tournament (European history themed tournament) at UCSD and finished second in individual scoring behind Dwight Wynne.

Quiz Bowl Years(2001-02)

The College Bowl program waa defunded late in 2000. However, a lucky set of circumstances led to not only Oregon's revival in the arena of quiz bowl, but its' biggest moment as well. Sean Cole, who had been a member of the 1999 and 2000 UO College Bowl teams, had been attempting to expand Oregon's quiz bowl profile beyond CBI, but it finally gained traction when Philip Huang came to the UO from Berkeley. Cole's recruting efforts also found another enthusiastic teammate, Amy Fuller.

The three person team went to the 2001 NAQT Northwest Regional Tournament at the University of Washington. Oregon surprised everyone, including Texas A&M in the final, to win the championship. That victory also enabled the Ducks to participate in the 2001 NAQT championship at Washington University in St Louis. Although Cole graduated in 2001, Oregon was active in numerous tournaments along the West Coast in 2001 and 2002.

College Bowl Years(1979-2000)

The UO was among the top programs in the Pacific Northwest region (AKA CBI Region 14). The first sign of Oregon's College Bowl strength was in the 1984-85 school year when Oregon qualified for the National Invitational Tournament. Oregon also attended the tournament again in 1985-86. It won the Region 14 championship 4 out of 5 years from 1990 to 1994 and qualified for the CBI national Championship after each of those regional championships. 1990 also saw the start of a streak of top 4 Region 14 finishes that lasted until 2000.
