The 2023 IQBT Undergraduate Championship Tournament is the first ever standalone national championship tournament exclusively for undergraduate students, scheduled to be held on 4-5 March of 2023.
Question Set
The question set for the tournament is head-edited by John Lawrence, with subject editors Will Alston, Matt Bollinger, Emmett Laurie, Evan Lynch, and Eric Mukherjee. The set is intended to be 3 dots in difficulty on the College Quizbowl Calendar Scale, and thus closer in difficulty to regular-season "regs+" sets than other national championship sets such as ACF Nationals.
Qualification
Qualification for the 2023 UCT was determined by a 60-question, all-bonus score attack qualifier, held from 10-13 November 2022. Teams were ranked according to their total points scored over the 60 questions, with ties being broken by performance on five added tiebreaker questions. 71 teams competed in the qualifier, with the top 30 receiving invitations to the championship in March.
Championship
The Championship is scheduled to be held online, on the weekend of 4-5 March 2023. No details have been announced about the tournament's format.
