It did happen in the BHI tracket, but only twice (TUs 7 and 12) and only because the BHI trash packet was mostly recycled from the unread generic DWI trash packet. (The person who was in charge of the BHI trash packet waited until two or three days before the tournament to write anything, so he ended up recycling the unused ones)

It wasn't a big deal.

Some of those questions were way way too hard for high schoolers to power anyway... i bet about 3 of them had ever even heard of Kimmie Meissner and yet you made her a tossup answer.
