Past Champions

Participants of elimination rounds will receive a token of accomplishment from the 2025 SGI.

Awards will be mailed to schools hopefully by February 28, 2025. All schools should submit the following address form to allow us to send your awards to the right location.

In addition to elimination rounds, we will also award individual sweepstakes awards and school sweepstakes awards.

The past champions of this event feature some of the country's best - we believe that we offer the most competitive asynchronous tournament in the country at the SGI and hope to continue to see excellent entries in 2025.
