Known Individual Totals

Mike Wehrman answered 133 of 250 tossups correctly, setting a record that stood until Max Schindler broke it in 2011. No other player answered more than 70 tossups correctly.

  • Mike's rounds of 27, 30, 27, 26, and 23 tossups answered correctly were the top five individual single-game performances until his brother Andy Wehrman scored 24 in a game in 1999.
  • 30 tossups stood as the single-game record until Max Schindler answered 31 tossups correctly in a game in 2011.
  • 23 tossups stood as the championship game record until Adam Hill from Nixa answered 24 correctly in 2001.

The first known Class 1A record was 55 tossups set in 1998, so no player in Class 1A answered that many tossups correctly.

Other records and notes

  • North Kansas City scored 2510 points (an average of 502 per game), only surpassed by Savannah's 2585 points in 2004 before NAQT started providing questions in 2011. Ladue first broke the class 4 record with 2840 points, and several more teams surpassed NKC's original record through the last five-round tournament in 2019.
  • North Kansas City's 600 points in round 2 set a Class 4A record, which was matched by Blue Springs in 2000 before being broken by Ladue in 2011.
  • North Kansas City and Mound City each answered 28 tossups correctly in their championship matches, setting a record for championship games. It appears that this record was tied several times but not broken until Ladue did so in either 2012 or 2013.
