Highest scores
well, i've been trying to find the highest scoring team this year, at least in the lower eastern michigan area. I am on the Milan Junior varsity team, and our Varsity team just scored 715 pts on one game. I highly doubt that is the highest score this year, but it would be interesting to find out what all of the other teams top scores were.
In what format? That question lacks validity unless you qualify it.

Well, at our league, we play NAQT format with 20 questions per round. Our highest total has been about 450, with an average of about 350 (out of a possible 900 points if you count the powers on every tossup). There are only about two teams ahead of us in stats, so these totals are above average for our group.
We once beat someone 680-55, in NAQT format.

In ASCA format when I was in Middle School, we beat some school 525-110. They got 100 on the worksheet, and two five-pointers.
In high school, the most a team I played on scored was 480 in the Florence City Invitational against some hapless Shoals area school.

So, they got a perfect score on the worksheet but no tossups at all? That's really odd. What's the highest tossup score you've had in an ASCA round. At the Tuscaloosa Bryant tournament I got like 195/300 tossup points in that round 485 round. It was crazy.Golden Tiger 86 wrote:In ASCA format when I was in Middle School, we beat some school 525-110. They got 100 on the worksheet, and two five-pointers.

At district last year, I scored 220/300 tossup points in a match where we scored 440 points. If I remember correctly, we made like a 60 on our worksheet, but got 20 points on 8 of the 10 bonus opportunities.

Now that's definitely some big time bukkake... I just want to know if any teams at HSNCT have ever lost rounds with negative points, I think that would be pretty funny.Last year at NAQT Nationals TJ A's unfortunate first opponent lost 665-0... when TJ A was missing a player (who arrived in the third or fourth round).
Depue at the Sterling tournament. It was 270-0 at half, we answered all 20 tu's and all they got was a bonus part on sports. In that morning all five of our games had a combined score of 450 or up out of 600 (the closest was moline, 280-210), but we've had games like 310-5, 272-4 back to back at a tourney, 474-52, 435-85, those two against crosstown rivals, and 410-25.styxman wrote:Who'd you unleash that on?
In a quick glance at last year's HSNCT scores from the RR, I only see one example, a match where one of the Kansas teams lost 245 to -10 against St. Andrew's. Despite the negative score, though, I don't think it qualifies as ... er ... "big time bukkake." It (the negative total, that is) happened a couple of times in the 2003 HSNCT as well.steven-lamp wrote: Now that's definitely some big time bukkake...

Other interesting questions in this thread might be the lowest winning score you've seen, or the highest losing score.

Lowest NAQT Winning Score and highest losing score
The lowest winning score on a timed NAQT match that I've seen is 40 points (Crivitz (WI) B-Gladstone (MI) B 40-30) in the 2004 Conserve School Varsity Tournament.
The most points one of my teams has lost with (again in a timed NAQT match) is 280-285 (Conserve Junior/Seniors to the Conserve F/S in the 2004 Conserve School Frosh/Soph Varsity Challenge).

There are two times to my knowledge when the final score has been 10-0. One of those happened at a tournament I ran in 1998 in a match between Mauldin B and James Island B in South Carolina. The other is the legendary "John Marshall slugfest" in Oklahoma as told to me by Eric Bell. Apparently, the tournament was swiss-pair format, and so, in a late round, winless John Marshall A faced winless John Marshall B. A defeated B 10-0 by correctly answering a question about...John Marshall.
As for high scores, Michigan's state championship (associated with Michigan State University and somehow connected with state government up there) uses a format of two 15-minute halves (or 100 10-point tossups and 15-point bonuses, whichever comes first). I think I saw Eisenhower put up about 1300 points (starting from 0, mind you) in a match--I'd have to double check my records.

The highest losing score we ever had was two years ago, when we played DCC in the first prelim round of PACE in Cleveland (2003). Out teams have always had somewhat of a rivalry, and we were tied 360-360 going into the last tossup.
Tossup: It occurred after Emperor Matthias sent emissaries to explain why Rudolph II’s Letter of Majesty...
Eight people simultaneously tried to buzz in with Defenestration of Prague. DCC won 410-360.
One of the highest losing scores at last year's HSNCT was Cutter's when we played them in the fourth preliminary round. Jason Loy was (and I hear still is) an insanely fast player, and with 10-11 powers between the two teams and a final score of 320-345 in our favor, powers basically decided the match.

My middle school team last year (who makes up my varsity team this year) set some insane records (at least as far as I know).
In one tournament, we beat a team 575-60. That's the highest ASCA score I've ever heard of.
In another tournament, we beat a team 480-0. That's also the first time I've ever heard of a shutout in ASCA. The poor team scored 0 even on the worksheet...

We had a few 430-20 matches my senior year of high school (Illinois). At regionals we beat Crystal Lake Prairie Ridge 477-58 or something like that... that was a fun match.
The biggest beat down I've seen in Illinois quiz bowl was at the 2002 NIU Tournament, when Wheaton North beat Joliet 545-65 (with 24 tossup packets). Then we beat them 230-225 in the final... one of my proudest quiz bowl moments ever. But still, putting up 500 in Illinois is a big deal.

While this wasn't a HS match, the worst score I've ever seen in a game where both teams were actually making an effort was Yale 275, Dartmouth -25--five negs, zero tossups.NotBhan wrote:In a quick glance at last year's HSNCT scores from the RR, I only see one example, a match where one of the Kansas teams lost 245 to -10 against St. Andrew's.

Well, my team's "best" was scoring -25 in the second half against Georgetown A whilst still at Randolph-Macon. My team has been on the wrong side of some 300+ point whoppings on the ACF format, too.
VHSL format -- I've heard of a acouple of matches around the state where both teams failed to combine for 150 points out of a possible 500.
In the Claude Sandy era (1998-2000), there were several matches where all 500 points were scored.

At this past ACF fall, we were up 380-0 at the half before a string of 4 straight bad negs limited us to around 560-50 final score. It's too bad we haven't been able to reassemble the lineup we had that day...if we ever do again, it won't be till next spring at the earliest.mps4a_mps4a wrote:ACF Fall is quite a bit easier to score lots of points

It's Academic TV format. I think the Cleveland record is still 905 (in other words 805 earned points) in a three-way match (Brecksville Broadview Heights).

We (Eisenhower) lost to Saline 725-720 two years after that in the state tournament.Byko wrote:My mistake earlier--I got a little carried away. That highest score was Eisenhower defeating Port Huron 1200-105 (this immediately after defeating Saline 1015-355).
As for highest losing score, try Livonia Churchill defeating Eisenhower 625-620 in a second round match in that same tournament.
