Arnav Sood is an incoming player for CMU. He previously played for NYU and UBC.

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.

After graduating, he played/hosted/administrated for UBC 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.

Graduate

Arnav is joining CMU's Tepper School for a PhD in Economics. He intends to play quiz bowl there.
