"Golden chicken" is a term that originated in the Bay Area college quizbowl circuit of the early 2000s for a successful player with an exceedingly high ratio of questions gotten to negs [1]. The term has since been used to describe the highest-scoring player at a tournament who did not put up any negs at all.
Its most specific usage is to refer to zero-neg performances on title-winning teams. Three such notable performances are:
- Selene Koo at 2011 Chicago Open (7-33-0 in 14 rounds)
- Kevin Koai at 2013 ICT (15-21-0 in 14 rounds)
- Nathan Zhang at 2023 ICT (11-18-0 in 13 rounds)
