2016 HSNCT Survey
This survey gathered feedback from coaches (only) about NAQT’s 2016 High School National Championship Tournament. There were 128 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. In most cases, nonzero values that round to 0% are not shown.
