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. 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.
