An '''individual grail''' occurs when a single individual, playing solo or with teammates, answers every tossup in a regulation match.  [[Jerry Vinokurov]] was one tossup short of this mark playing solo against [[Athens State]] B at [[ACF Nationals 2006]].  [[R.

Jerry Vinokurov was one tossup short of this mark playing solo against Athens State B at ACF Nationals 2006. R. Hentzel legendarily had an attempt at an individual grail foiled when he failed to identify an "Easy-Bake Oven." Tristan Willey (then of Macomb, but playing independently at the collegiate level) grailed against Central Michigan A at 2011 ACF Fall at NIU [1].
