Members denoted with a * currently attend the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics (OSSM). However, due to the fact they attended Classen SAS as a Freshman and Sophmore and the fact that OSSM has no Quiz Bowl team, they are allowed to compete for Classen SAS. Zebulun serves as the captain when Doug and George cannot attend a particular event due to other commitments.
