Georgia Tech went out to a 2-0 lead with victories over Illinois and Maryland A, while both those schools beat Chicago (aka Lincoln Tech). Georgia Tech went into the last game needing only a final win to clinch, but Sheahan upset their plans. Maryland defeated Illinois to force a final one game playoff for the title, but was defeated on the last question of the tournament. Congratulations to Georgia Tech for their victory in the 1997 Wahoo War! Meanwhile, Illinois defeated Lincoln Tech for third place. The 3-4 teams in each division followed a playoff format like the top two. The 5-6-7 and 8-9-10 teams in each division played their three playoff games only against the opposing bracket, to complete a round robin amongst themselves. The 11-12-13 teams were scheduled to do the same, but defections by three teams fouled the process there. The overall final rankings: 1. Georgia Tech (11-1 in regular play, 2-1 in playoffs, 1-0 in final) 2. Maryland A (12-0, 2-1, 0-1; both losses to Ga Tech) 3. Illinios (12-0, 1-2, 1-0) 4. Lincoln Tech (11-1, 1-2, 0-1) All of the losses by the top four teams were inflicted by each other. 5. Maryland B (9-3, 3-0) 6. Princeton (8-4, 2-1) 7. Johns Hopkins (9-3, 1-2) 8.
