Revision as of 13:01, 22 June 2021
A one-person team (or one-man team) is a team with multiple players on it whose fate is perceived to be entirely tied to the scoring abilities of a single player. Literal "one-person" teams are typically referred to as solo instead.
The term is both laudatory and derisive - while it celebrates the skill of the "one-person" in question, it minimizes the contributions of their teammates (which are often significant) and carries with it the implication that the "one-person" is succeeding in part because of their lack of support. Because of the derogatory connotations, and especially the implied insult to the teammates of the "one-person," it is not a good idea to use this term in reference to any team in your tournament when you are the TD or moderator.
Examples
One-person teams are frequently successful at the local high school level and occasionally competitive nationally. They are vulnerable against well-balanced attacks from multiple good players at the highest levels of either high school or collegiate quizbowl, which frequently limits their placement.
High school
This table is a subset of teams which could be considered "one-player" since 2010, under the loose definition of "a single player scoring 2/3 or more of a team's tossup points per game". Entry on this list has been limited to teams that fit this criteria while placing in the top 20 at either HSNCT or NSC.
