HSNCT Record Book

The HSNCT record book is a collection of records from the High School National Championship Tournament run by NAQT.
It should be noted that because of shifts in attendance and question quality and distribution and player quality over time, this is not meant in any way to be a definitive "greatest" list. This is simply a listing of players who have reached certain statistical milestones while playing at the HSNCT.
Because of NAQT's record keeping, most records only go back to 2005, the first year detailed statistics were kept at HSNCT.
Statlines are either given as Powers - 10 point tossups - Negs, or as Powers - 10 point tossups - negs - Points per 20 tossups heard.
Basic Definitions
- P = Powers (15 point tossups)
- TU = 10 point tossups
- I = -5 incorrect answers (negs)
- PPB = Points-Per-Bonus
- PP20TUH = Points-per-20 tossups heard
- P% = Power percent
