 Showing just how insignificant prelim seedings are in predicting a winner, Hamilton Southeastern, Chicago's 17th playoff seed, defeated the number 1, 8 and 16th seeds in the playoffs. <br>
-There not any extraordinary controversies in this tournament, though notably one match from the Preliminary rounds of a Chicago match between [[Irvington]] A and [[Plano Senior]] A had an amazingly complex protest which may hold a record for longest protest resolution, causing the result of a 9:00am game to not be resolved until 5:00pm, a protest which involved much researched evidence from both sides, including the testimony of a Stanford Math Professor. The question was "What is the graph of theta = pi/4?" And the protest was between the given answer of "ray" and the written answer of "line." Irvington's protest in defense of ray was deemed correct after an already long wait, but then Plano fired a counter protest and somehow managed to get the tossup thrown out, leading to a single question computational math sudden death between the two teams. Neither team answered correctly, resulting in Irvington's victory as the points from the question were thrown out.

 * Dayton Miller retried this experiment at the Mount Wilson observatory, but a more notable retesting used a parallel-plate capacitor and was led by Trouton and Noble. Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction was devised to explain its results. One of the scientists after whom the experiment is named won the 1907 Nobel in physics for inventing an interferometer. Returning a null result is what experiment that provided the first evidence against luminiferous ether?
