The Royal Cup Debate Tournament

The Royal Cup is held at Hopkins High School.  The Royal Cup is a Tournament of Champions qualifier at the finals level

Finals Results
1999 Wayzata (Waldrop & Black) over St. Thomas Academy (Phillips & Gamradt)
Final round decided by a coin flip
1998 (2) Millard West (Todero & Wilkins) over St. Thomas Academy (Phillips & Gamradt)
In 1998, the Royal Cup moved from January to October, so there were two Royal Cups that year
1998 (1) Blake (Garen & Lowin) over Rosemount (Baxter & Kemp)
1997 Apple Valley (Mayer & Kastanek) over Bloomington Jefferson (Stukas & Prestwood)
This final round was almost not debated because of a late evening start.  It didn't help the BJ team any that Prestwood slept through two minutes of his prep time for the 2NC...

1996 Apple Valley (Mettler & Huang) over Blake (Garen & Simenson)
The 1996 Royal Cup was decided on some card game (probably poker) won by Apple Valley over Blake. Not learning anything from history, Blake proceeded to lose the 1997 Roseville tournament to Hopkins playing Spades.
