McMaster University has had an active quizbowl team throughout the 21st century. A team from McMaster has played in every single NAQT Canadian SCT, something no other Canadian club can claim.

Early History

A team from McMaster was established at some point after Western (1999), but they managed to win the DII title at Sectionals in 2000. They attended the 2000 ICT, but finished last and with the (presumably incorrect) odd stat of 35 bonus points over 59 heard. Matt Choi, Patrick Greco, Evan Jones, and Ian Philip were on the team.

Steady Results

While McMaster has never been a contender for any titles (though they did lose a tie-breaking final for DII at the 2006 Canadian SCT), they have had an excellent attendance record, helped by regular recruitment of new members. They have attended every Canadian SCT, a better record than the likes of Toronto, Western, or Ottawa. McMaster hosted their first tournament, the 2003 Ontario Bowl, under the guidance of Rob Gillezeau. Jordan Palmer led the team at McMaster throughout his undergrad years before moving on to Queen's in 2006. McMaster, currently led by Jay Misuk, is in line to be the host of the 2009 Canadian SCT.
