TOURNAMENT RECORDS 1989-

Records are being added slowly as they are gradually being decompressed from 5 1/4" floppy disks, or retyped from paper records. Some files are missing. If you have information, corrections, or a reminiscence to add, please do so. Note: the format of the statistics is taken from notes at the time, and may not be consistent from tournament to tournament.

After completion of the 1990-91 Intramurals, the players on the winning team and the top players statistically were invited to take the tryout test. The test was diagnostic in nature, focusing on a player's ability to answer questions in eight arbitrary categories. Players were given 14 minutes to complete the test. After the test, we played a few questions with a buzzer system in order to refresh my memory of the player in the tournament. Players were selected for the team based on the following criteria, in order of importance: past performance with the team, performance in the intramural, areas of strength on the test, number of answers correct on the test, my gut instinct. A different test was used every year. Here's the 1990-91 test.
