This is an experiment to see if the Wiki can be used to collaborate on a major data-gathering project for outreach. "Notes" should be used for outreach info that's not encoded in the other columns. Hopefully the page is self-explanatory otherwise. Matt Weiner (talk) 11:34, 5 February 2014 (PST)

Also, my criteria for inclusion on the list are "any place that grants bachelor's degrees and conducts classes at a physical campus in English." Thus, professional-only schools, community colleges, and online-only schools are not included, nor are exclusively French-speaking universities in Canada (I've never heard of Mexican quizbowl and I assume all universities there speak Spanish, but feel free to add any in that prove me wrong). There are probably a few schools that fit my definition and aren't here, so add them in as you find them. Matt Weiner (talk) 11:42, 5 February 2014 (PST)

What is "high water mark"? Cody Voight

That's supposed to be like "4th place at 2009 ICT" or whatever the best thing the team ever accomplished was. It's for a slightly tangential purpose than outreach. Matt Weiner (talk) 12:31, 5 February 2014 (PST)

Does "active" include things like hosting tournaments or intramurals? Zachary Yan (talk) 22:18, 5 February 2014 (PST)

Are there schools that ONLY host college tournaments and don't attend them? I guess include that in column 1 if so. Matt Weiner (talk) 00:39, 6 February 2014 (PST)
