Trivia
- 2021 was the first year since 2002 in which the winning team at Chicago Open contained no players who were eligible, active participants on a college quizbowl team during the preceding academic year. (One player on the winning team, Matt Bollinger, became collegiate quizbowl eligible for the following year.)
