The second annual Trans-Canada Championship Match was held over the telephone on Saturday, July 14, 2001. The two teams had just participated in that day's two Canadian tournaments:

• Vancouver Estival Trivia Open: "FARSIDE" team of Peter.
• London Estival Trivia Open: University of Western Ontario team of Adam and Matt.

Originally the game was supposed to be between the winning VETO team and the winning LETO team. FARSIDE was the winning VETO team, but in London, only Matt remained from UWO B, the winning LETO team, so he and Adam (LETO's highest individual scorer, on UWO A) played as a UWO team.

The match was moderated by Brian Hight. The questions were written by NAQT with Canadian content added by Gabe Desjardins. The game was untimed, with 20 tossups.

Technical notes

The team in Vancouver had a speakerphone and buzzer system, but since the team had only one player, Peter instead used a service bell placed near the phone. In London, Adam and Matt had separate telephones and pressed different buttons (3 and *) to buzz in.

Results

Tossups (+15/+10/-5): Peter 1/13/0, Matt 2/1/1, Adam 0/3/0.
Bonus averages: FARSIDE 22.1, UWO 14.2.
