Results
The tournament was run as a 7 team round robin for the first six games, then as a 6 team round robin for the last 5. This was done by having the two Minnesota teams combine into one after the sixth round. The results after 11 rounds had Drake, consisting of Brendan Byrne, and Illinois A, consisting of Trygve Meade, Steven Canning, Greg Baboukis, and James Sanner, tied at 10-1, each team having lost once to the other in the double round robin. In the final match, Drake defeated Illinois A 430-60 to take first place. The top three individual scorers were Brendan Byrne, Andrew Bockover of Minnesota A, and Sam Peterson of the High School team, himself being from Chaska High School.
