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. R. Hentzel legendarily had an attempt at an individual grail foiled when he failed to identify an "Easy-Bake Oven." Tristan Willey (then of Macomb, but playing independently at the collegiate level) grailed against Central Michigan A at 2011 ACF Fall at NIU [1]. Eric Xu of Western Albemarle grailed against Mount Vernon B at RAYNOR (run by Thomas Jefferson).
