2014 ICT Survey

This survey gathered feedback from players and coaches about NAQT’s 2014 Intercollegiate Championship Tournament. There were 169 responses.

Some questions have responses that don’t total to exactly 100%; this is due to the rounding of individual values. Percentages reported are of those answering each individual question, since not all respondents answered every question.
