History

Founding

The name combines the Chinese school Huafu International and the American high school Elgin Academy. H.F.E.A. delivered a 4-1 record in the qualification event and qualified for the China Championships.

Becoming a Community

After qualifying for the Chinese Final, H.F.E.A. disbanded as a quiz bowl team because its player Gary Wang could not play in further events. The group chat has become a community.

Effects
