Hello all! I hope everyone is staying happy and healthy the best they can during these crazy times!

On behalf of Iowa Quiz Bowl, I am happy to announce that we will be hosting Columbia and Georgia Tech's medium difficulty college set IKEA on December 5th, 2020 on an online Discord server. More information about the set can be found on this main post.

We will be starting the tournament promptly at 9:00 AM CT.

After private discussions with representatives of the Iowa and Michigan teams, the editors of IKEA have decided to ban Tuhin Chakraborty from participating in all IKEA mirrors at the request of the latter. Given Tuhin's actions, both at tournaments and in other quizbowl contexts, as well as the circumstances of the Michigan club's leadership, we feel this action is necessary to ensure that IKEA tournaments have the environment we seek to create.
