A basic description of the format and standings can be found at:

I ran the scoresheets through SQBS after returning home from Boston.
The files can be found at:

More stats are coming. To give you a preview (these numbers should be
considered grossly unofficial, since scoresheets are never perfectly
kept and there may be errors in data entry, but I think they are in
the ballpark at least, based on some spot-checks):

Sports tossups: 
1. Kenny Peskin 24-2 in 15 rounds
2t. Dave Thorsley 21-2 in 14 rounds
2t. Shawn DeVeau 21-2 in 14 rounds
4. Brian Hight 21-2 in 15 rounds
5. Phil Castagna 20-2 in 14 rounds

Music tossups:

1. Matt Levine 21-1 in 15 rounds
2. Redd Armstrong (Carey Clevenger) 18-0 in 14 rounds
3. Bonzi Wells (Tim Young) 17-0 in 14 rounds
4. Joe Barry Carroll (Dave Goodman) 15-0 in 14 rounds
5. Eric Cartwright 14-1 in 15 rounds

Film tossups:
1. Mark Richey 22-0 in 15 rounds
2. Redd Armstrong (Carey Clevenger) 20-2 in 15 rounds
3. Jeremy Goodwin (Robert Flaxman) 19-1 in 15 rounds
4. Migeul Ruiz 17-1 in 15 rounds
5. Mark (Tia and the TRASHmen) 16-0 in 15 rounds

TV tossups:
1. Kenny Peskin 21-2 in 15 rounds
2. Dan Rydell (Tyler Johnson) 20-2 in 15 rounds
3. Matt Levine 16-0 in 14 rounds
4. Rasheed Wallace (Phil Castagna) 17-2 in 14 rounds
5. Carlos Hernandez Fisher 15-1 in 14 rounds

All numbers should be evaluated on the basis of each category having
roughly 50-55 tossups over 15 rounds. And, no, unless someone writes a
program that makes it easy, this will not be done in real-time next year.

These numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, considering
differing quality of teammates, the high quality of teams overall (so
no one got more than half the questions in a given major area), and
the fact that these stats include Sunday rounds when teams were placed
in playoff brackets based on Saturday results.

Followups to stats, including corrections, should be directed to my
