had previously played only College Bowl regionals,
and Grinnell College, which sent two teams to CUT as
their first intercollegiate quizbowl competition of any

these "newbie" schools debuted rather well, placing
teams in the top ten of a 22-team field. We hope to see
each continuing now to appear on the
