Revision as of 18:43, 20 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 usually cannot succeed against well-balanced attacks from multiple good players at the highest levels of either high school or collegiate quizbowl. No one-person team has ever won a high school national, but one has one a collegiate national.
