'''Cardinal Classic VII''' was a tournament held at [[Stanford]] the weekend of February 7-8, 1997. The tournament was criticized by some for excessive delays in gameplay as well as some problematic questions, including a large number of repeats.

==Results==
Teams competed in a 14-game round robin, after which the top three teams were: Berkeley A 14-0, Vanderbilt 13-1, and UC-Davis 11-3. In addition, three teams were tied for fourth place: UCLA, BYU, and Stanford. For unknown reasons, someone decided that the top four teams needed to play a single elimination playoff. It took a half an hour before Stanford decided how to break the tie for fourth place: UCLA, BYU, and Stanford would play simultaneously in a three-team game, with the winner advancing. BYU won the three-team game (with a score of approximately BYU 195, UCLA 140, and Stanford 135). Finally, Berkeley A, Vanderbilt, UC-Davis, and BYU played a single-elimination playoff. Berkeley and Vanderbilt advanced to a final, which Vanderbilt won on the last question. The final question was, appropriately, a repeat: the third occurence of Ibsen in the tournament.

The leading scorers were [[David Farris]] from Edison High School (47.5 PPG), [[Pat Friel]] from UCLA (40.4), and [[Norm Gillespie]] from BYU (38.9). Vanderbilt's leading scorer was "Grunties," with 33.6 PPG.

 ===Playoffs===
-As per standard practice at Cardinal Classics in the mid-90's, the top four teams entered a single elimination playoff. It took a half an hour before Stanford decided how to break the tie for fourth place: UCLA, BYU, and Stanford would play simultaneously in a three-team game, with the winner advancing. BYU won the three-team game (with a score of approximately BYU 195, UCLA 140, and Stanford 135). Finally, Berkeley A, Vanderbilt, UC-Davis, and BYU played a single-elimination playoff. Berkeley beat Brigham Young 265-100 and Vanderbilt defeated UC-Davis A 380-55 to advance to the final. Going in to the final question, Berkeley A led 160-155. The final question was, appropriately, a repeat:  the third occurrence of Ibsen's ''A Doll's House'' in the tournament, which [[Darrell Frye]] correctly answered. After picking up five points on the bonus as time expired, Vanderbilt won the final 170-160.
