Stats

The 2006 National Scholastic Championship was won by Raleigh Charter, consisting of Will Schultz, Andrew Zonderman, Katie Huddleston, and Chris Hoersting. The tournament was held at the North Carolina School of Science and Math in Durham, NC.

The 2000 and 2006 NSCs are the only known national championship tournaments held at a high school campus since the end of the National Academic Super Bowl. All other nationals have been held at college campuses, hotels, or TV studios.

Tournament results

Raleigh Charter defeated Richard Montgomery 400-240 in the finals. The second-place Richard Montgomery beat Maggie Walker in the semifinals, while Raleigh Charter advanced by defeating State College.

The tournament used the old PACE NSC tournament format. For the first time, the consolation playoffs were based on tiered pools (all fourth-place prelim teams in one group, all fifth-place teams in another, etc) and it was no longer possible for a team which, e.g., finished 0-9 on Saturday to win the consolation title by winning all of their Sunday games.

Individual results

The top five scorers at the tournament (through the prelim rounds) were Chris Ray of Richard Montgomery, Will Schultz of Raleigh Charter, Joel Knight of DCC, Bobby Gibbs of Walton, and Ted Gioia of Gonzaga, respectively.
