Recent years

The 2009, 2010, and 2011 tournaments were all composed of 10 housewritten packets, with Chris Ray editing in 2009, Stevejon Guth editing in 2010, and Paul Marchsteiner delegated by Chris Ray to lead in 2011. All three recent tournaments have been noted for the small number of packets and extreme difficulty with relation to regular high school sets.

2008

The tournament was a mirror of a Minnesota and Vanderbilt tournament. 1/3 of the questions were written by the Maryland team.

2007

Mike Bentley served as chief editor and tournament director for this tournament. Most other Maryland members submitted at least one packet to this tournament, and most were involved in editing in some fashion.

The tournament was plagued by putting an inexperienced member on stats, resulting in an approximately 45 minute wait in between the final preliminary round and the playoffs. The first playoff round also featured a much too difficult packet put together at the last moment that was not appreciated by many of the lower seeded teams.

2006

2006's tournament was directed and chiefly edited by Casey Retterer.

2005

2005's tournament was a partial packet swap with Case Western.
