Records from this era are spotty at best. Click on an image to see the full-size version.
I have no idea where this next set of images comes from. Possibly
BASQUE 2003, or maybe just a random practice sometime around 2003.

Most of the Berkeley club after the wildly successful
trip to NAQT ICT 2003 at UCLA. Left to right: Ray Luo, Larissa Kelly,
Brendan Shapiro, Jeff Hoppes, David Farris, Matt Levine, Kenny
Easwaran, Jon Pennington, Nick Meyer, Devang Parekh, Jerry Vinokurov,
Juliana Froggatt, Paul Lujan, and Eok Ngo. Missing for some unknown
reason is Seth Teitler (possibly the one taking the picture).
At this tournament, with Maribeth Mason of Caltech needed to staff,
Nick Meyer accomplished the feat of being the only person to have
played in every NAQT ICT since its inception in 1997. (This streak has
now sadly ended.)
Left to right: Jeff Hoppes, Jon Pennington, and Seth Teitler
prepare to do battle (or possibly have just finished doing battle) at
the 2002 ACF Fall tournament.
Left to right: Eok Ngo shoots laser beams out of his eyes; Juliana
Froggatt just sits there; and Kenny Easwaran and Jerry Vinokurov give
this Berkeley team the dubious distinction of being the team with the
most hair discoloration at the 2002 ACF Fall.
An early image of Berkeley Quizbowl, capturing in all
its blurry glory Berkeley's first national triumph. Jon Pennington
(far left) and Nick Meyer hold aloft the 2001 ECW National
Championship Belt, as Steve Kaplan (blue shirt) and Matt Levine look
on.
Ancient Documents — Images of Bygone Times
The exact provenance of these photos is unknown, but they date from
before 2000.
At the Marcus Tullius Cicero Certamen:
(back row L to R) Yaraslava, Partha, Arun, Haggai, Nick, Katy, MEB, Jeff, Ben
(front row, Center to R) Linda, Trinh, David L, David W, Andrew
The team getting lunch during the Caltech Technophobia I (Nov. 96):
Left to right: Katy, Dave D., Nick, and David F.
This is believed to be the earliest recorded image of in our
possession of Nick Meyer's quizbowl career at Berkeley. Note the
mustache.
Gaius Stern is between the two comely lasses, with Phil Huang on the far right.
The team presents the 1996 ACF Regional Championship to Chancellor Tien (Mar. 96)
pictured: Arun, Rachel B, Haggai, Katy, Chancellor Tien, Matt, Phil
The pagans say Chancellor Tien was 10 feet tall, ate freshmen for
breakfast, and could put up 75ppg at ACF Nats. So I've heard.
These next two pictures are from a trip to the Feb. 96 BYU
tournament.
(L to R: Phil, David F, Rachel, Gaius, Matt, MEB, Jeff)
(L to R front: Phil, Matt, David F, MEB, Jeff
(standing), Rachel B, Rachel M)
(Note how Rachel Marshak (Stanford) has wormed her way into
the picture because she'd rather be a Cal Bear!)
