Well, ~38 years ago I was an alternate for my S. FL middleschool's Academic Games team that went to national competition at Eagle Rock that year,. I got to go on the trip as an alternate but did not compete. We didn't get to see the Eagle Rock, but we heard about it. It was the first time I saw Cherry Coke for sale in a can. The only other notable detail is the guy that 20ish years later coined Ajax to mean asynchronous javascript and http request was a school chum of mine that also came along and got to compete, iirc, in a game called "Linguishticks."
Anyone else make it to Eagle Rock in the early-mid 1980's to compete in National Academic Games?
