Oklahoma Academic Team sent three teams, two in Division I and one in Division II, to the NAQT Southwest Sectional Championship Tournament held at the University of Texas at Austin on Saturday, February 7. Because only seven teams attended, the divisions were combined and played on Division I questions. Texas A won the tournament.
In Division I, Oklahoma A, consisting of Ryan Grabowski, Matthew King, and Brian Morrow, earned second place with an 11-3 record, with all three of its losses coming to eventual champion Texas A. Oklahoma A and Texas A played an advantaged final to determine the champion after the conclusion of the round robin. Oklahoma A won the first game, but Texas A won the second to claim the tournament championship. Oklahoma B, consisting of David Gagne, Ted Swang, Chris Terrill, and Donovan Wood, earned third place with an 8-4 record.
In Division II, Oklahoma C (Robert Hayes, Maggie Larkin, and Cliff Marroquin) finished in sixth place with a 2-10 record.
OAT had several members place in the top ten in the individual standings. Brian came in second place with 37.27 points per 20 tossups heard (the metric that NAQT uses instead of points per game), David came in third with 34.47, Ryan was in sixth place with 32.73, Robert was in seventh with 30.17, and Matthew was in tenth with 23.64.
Full standings are available here. Because of the teams' performances, it is unlikely that any team will receive a bid to compete in the 2009 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament at the Hyatt Regency DFW.
The next tournament for OAT will be ACF Regionals 2009 at the University of Tulsa on Saturday, February 28.
