Georgia Tech A team defeated University of Chicago A team twice in a row in a disadvantaged final to take the title. That made it two in a row for Aadi Arya in a national championship where their team was disadvantaged meaning their team had to win twice while the other team had to win only once to claim the title. In 2022, Aadi Arya’s Lambert team had to do the same against Thomas Jefferson
Due to unanticipated “travel hell”, the prior year’s top scorer for Georgia Tech team was unable to arrive at the tournament until Georgia Tech A had already played five rounds of prelims. Due to Aadi Arya’s strong performance during those 5 games, the team went 6-1 in the prelims, taking a loss to Duke (which ultimately carried over into playoff standings) while Bollinger was absent.
