British Student Quiz Championships

The British Student Quiz Championships is a national quizbowl competition that has occurred 18 times, most recently in March 2022. The 2011 BSQC was a revival of a tournament that had been dormant since 2003. BSQC has been run by UKQB since 2018, before that it was run by BuzzerQuiz. Either Oxford or one of its constituent colleges has won 14 of the 18 BSQCs. A much more complete history of the BSQC can be found on the QBWiki.

In 2022 Cambridge A triumphed for the third time, defeating Edinburgh A in an advantaged final. Oxford B (Solenne Scholefield, Ali Izzatdust, Mehmet Tatoglu, Peter Devlin) finished third and Oxford A (Oliver Hargrave, Oli Clarke, Jacob Robertson, Michael O'Connor) finished fourth, with Oxford B getting a win over Oxford A for about ten minutes until a protest got resolved and Oxford A snatched the ensuing tossup.
