ORX Tournament of Champions

Mark McGraw, Associate Editor

The popular quiz bowl that has become a staple of ORX returned for the third straight year with a spirited, seesaw battle between Team Pre-Op, Team OR and Team PACU. With pride and Outpatient Surgery Magazine T-shirts on the line, Team OR pulled out to an early lead and held on for a close win, edging out Team PACU by 2 percentage points.

The final results:
    Team OR: 39%
    Team PACU: 37%
    Team Pre-Op: 24%

How would you have stacked up against this year's competition? Take a shot at answering a few sample questions and look for the answers at the end of the quiz.
