Individual results:

Here are the official stats for individual players at Beaver Bonspiel 2. They are taken from the in-bracket preliminary rounds and the playoff rounds, but not from the Blastoff and Cooloff rounds. The highest individual score recorded in the Cooloff round was 75 points by Swarthmore's Patrick Friel, making him the Coolest player at the tournament.

We collected all scoresheets to be used for stats, but unfortunately, a small number of them were not usable because some tossup points were not attributed to individual players.
