Career
High school
Though he did not play pyramidal quiz bowl, Arnav played for the Science Bowl team of WWPHS South, which won states in 2013 after getting 2nd in 2011 and 2012.
College
Arnav played at NYU, where he majored in math. This included DII ICT in 2017, and DI in 2018. That last run saw NYU make top bracket with some preposterously low margins, before summarily and handily losing essentially all of our games.
Now he's at UBC, working as a predoc at the Vancouver School of Economics, and helping out by playing/hosting/administrating for quiz bowl. In 2019, Arnav courted controversy on the forums by questioning the decision to exclude players from British Columbia from the Canadian Players Poll;[1] due to its eligibility rules requiring players to have played multiple tournaments in Canada, the scope of the poll was effectively only teams in the eastern Canadian circuit.
