Huskie Bowl

The Huskie Bowl is an annual February tournament held at Northern Illinois University beginning in 2009. It is a revival of an annual tournament held at Northern in the 1990s, which disappeared in a storm of controversy over the reuse of old questions. Like a phoenix, the Huskie Bowl has risen again to become a regular part of the Illinois circuit.

2010

In 2010, the Huskie Bowl used two divisions and expressed the expectation that all teams would stay for the afternoon. The upper division, a mirror of Prison Bowl, was won by Auburn A, a team playing as "Serenity," Detroit Catholic Central, and Loyola A. It served as a qualifier for PACE NSC, and achieved platinum level affiliation with that organization. The lower division, using an NAQT A set, was won by Auburn B, followed by Niles West, Boylan, and St. Charles East. It was affiliated with NAQT HSNCT.
