A grail is a feat wherein one team correctly answers all tossups heard in a match. The team does not need to answer all of the bonus parts correctly to achieve a grail.

Incomplete List of Teams That Have Achieved a Grail

Middle School

High School

College/Open

Individual Grail

An individual grail occurs when a single individual, playing solo or with teammates, answers every tossup in a regulation match. Jerry Vinokurov was one tossup short of this mark playing solo against Athens State B at 2006 ACF Nationals. Tom Waters, playing as an individual against GW B at a Maryland tournament in 1995, similarly managed 19 out of 20 tossups, R. Hentzel legendarily had an attempt at an individual grail foiled when he failed to identify an "Easy-Bake Oven."

High School Individual Grails

Eric Xu of Western Albemarle grailed against Mount Vernon B at RAYNOR (run by Thomas Jefferson).
