The tournament will feature 20 tossups and bonuses per game, bouncebacks on bonuses, no computational math, no negs, and no powers.

- Rock Bridge Winter Invitational Tournament
- Rock Bridge High School
- PACE NSC Qualifier
- Questions: Housewritten
- Rock Bridge High School is excited to announce that the First Annual WIT (Winter Invitational Tournament) written by RB's A- and B-teams under the direction of Charlie Dees. Rock Bridge will host the tournament on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at RBHS in Columbia, MO. This tournament will be for Varsity teams, but you are more than welcome to bring B- or C- teams of Junior Varsity players.
The WIT questions will be written in a pyramidal format, similar to the Fall Novice Tournament and NAQT questions. We will be following the 20/20 Tossups/Bonus model, similar to the FNT and Mizzou tournaments. This allows us to play the most number of games possible, so be prepared for a two full round robins in the morning and afternoon with an advantaged final to decide the champion.

- North Kansas City Varsity Invitational Tournament
- North Kansas City High School
- PACE NSC Qualifier
- Questions: HSAPQ Tournament 23
- The North Kansas City Quizbowl Team is excited to announce our annual North Kansas Varsity Invitational Tournament. Like last year, we will be buying our questions from the company HSAPQ, using their Tournament-23 set.
This event will be similar to the last 3 years of NKC tournaments. We will be using pyramidal questions. We will be using a slightly modified version of the official format used at NAQT's National Championship, so games will be 20 tossups long, and each tossup will have a non-rebounding 30-point bonus attached. Every tossup will be worth 10 points, unless players buzz in early, before a specific mark in the question, in which case they will earn 15 points for a "power." We will also be using -5 point penalties for incorrect interrupts on tossups.
We will also be instituting a 6-player cap on teams. Be aware that, even though we call this a "varsity" tournament, schools are encouraged to sign up multiple teams, including those with JV-level players on them, if you have interested players who want to get more experience.

- Waynesville Academic Tournament
- Waynesville High School
- Questions: Minnesota High School Novice
- Waynesville High School will be hosting a tournament on January 14, 2012 using the Minnesota High School Novice Tournament Set. Each game will consist of twenty tossups, each of which will be followed by a three-part, thirty-point bonus. We will not be deducting points for incorrect answers (negs) or awarding extra points for early buzzes (powers), and we will be using rebounding bonuses. Each team will be guaranteed at least eight matches. The exact tournament format will depend on the size of the field, but expect either a full round-robin or a modified round robin followed by rebracketing.
Since this is an easier-than-usual question set, players who have attended either PACE NSC or NAQT HSNCT are not eligible for this tournament; all other players are eligible. Because there are eligibility restrictions, this tournament will not be a PACE NSC qualifer.
The field will be initially capped at twelve teams. We will consider expanding the field if we can secure enough staff.
If you would like to register for this tournament, please email both Jason Loy (jloy@tuscumbialions.k12.mo.us) and Janet Deckard (jdeckard@waynesville.k12.mo.us) with the number of teams and buzzer systems that you plan on bringing.

- (CANCELED) Truman State Invitational

- Questions: NAQT IS-110A
- This tournament has been canceled due to a lack of interest.
We at the Truman State University Academic Competition Organization are proud to announce we will be hosting a high-school tournament for January 14th. The tournament will feature a set of a lower difficulty and will be terrific practice for any novice teams or organizations beginning their season with the start of the New Year. The tournament is open to all high school teams not currently planning to attend quiz-bowl tournaments at Truman High School and Jeff City. If you attend one of these tournaments, you will not be able to compete at this event because they will be using the same set.

- Questions: NAQT IS-111
- This tournament will be using the same question set, IS 111, as Villa Duchesne's February event, so teams attending that cannot attend this.
This tournament will be using the official NAQT format, meaning that each round will have 20 tossups, with a non-rebounding 30 point bonus attached. Tossups will have 15 point powers for early correct answers, and will also use -5 point penalties for incorrectly interrupting tossups.
We are using a 6-person limit for the rosters of each team at this tournament. If you have more players who are interested in attending, we encourage you to sign them up to play on an additional team from your school.
The field of this tournament will be capped at 18 teams, although if there is demand and we can procure extra staff, we may be willing to expand the field size. Teams will be entered into the field on a first-come, first-served basis. If the field fills, we will be able to offer teams a 10 game schedule.

- Missouri S&T Fall Tournament

- PACE NSC Qualifier
- Questions: Mirror of Blue Devil Academic Tournament
- Games consist of twenty tossups worth ten points each, followed by non-rebounding bonuses worth up to thirty points. Tossups will feature "powers" (additional points awarded for correct buzzes very early in the question) and "negs" (five point deductions for incorrect answers before the question is finished).
Our questions will come from the Blue Devil Academic Tournament being run in Norcross, Georgia; the questions will be pyramidal in style, strongly resembling the type of questions we have used for past tournaments.
The field cap is tentatively set at 18 teams, though we will make every effort to include all interested teams. The tournament will feature preliminary rounds in the morning and playoffs after lunch; the exact specifications of the tournament will be determined by the final field size, but every team will be guaranteed a minimum of six games.

- Questions: NAQT IS-110A
- The Bill Currie Memorial Tournament II, named in honor of a deceased faculty member, will be held on November 19th, 2011. Questions for the tournament will be the IS-110A set provided by National Academic Quiz Tournaments, LLC (NAQT). These questions will be MUCH easier than those used at last year's tournament, and will be very much within the reach of all teams competing. Each packet will consist of 20 tossups, each with a 3-part non-rebounding bonus, with each part being worth 10 points. This tournament will feature powers--15 points for answering a question very early--and negs--deductions of 5 points for answering incorrectly before the moderator has finished reading the question. Additionally, there will be no computational math tossups, although there will be computational math bonuses.
This tournament is using the same set of questions as Truman High School's Sknow Bowl event on January 7th, and Truman State University's January 14th event. Teams planning on attending this event cannot also attend those events, although they are both far enough away this will hopefully not be an issue.

All students in grades 9-11 and are competing in their first or second year of Scholar Bowl are welcome to attend. Another helpful guideline is the student should be on Varsity half-time or less when you're fielding your best Varsity team. The format is ACF rules with a 20/20 format with no bounce-backs on bonuses. This allows us to play the most amount of games possible, similar to last year.

- The novice tournament will be a mirror of the 2011 Fall Novice Tournament (FNT), a pyramidal tournament, which is specially written to appeal to newer or inexperienced players. A copy of last year's FNT can be found here.
As this is a novice tournament, there will be limited eligibility -- only students who are either freshmen or sophomores, or juniors who are in their first year of high school quizbowl (i.e. those who have not played a high school tournament before November 5th, 2010) will be eligible to play. However, if you have any players on your team who are not novices, but would still like to come to the tournament, we are in need of volunteers to help staff. Anyone who helps staff will get a free lunch, and your team will get a discount on your entry fee (see below). So, convince all your varsity players to come along and help out!

- Questions: mirror of Prison Bowl
- This year the Missouri Quizbowl Alliance is pleased to be organizing the 2011 Pre-Nationals Tournament, to be held at the University of Missouri on May 21st, 2011. As with last year, this tournament is taking advantage of MSHSAA's new rules allowing teams to play one tournament after districts but before nationals. Unlike last year, this event will not strictly be limited to teams with bids to nationals. This event is intended to both serve as a chance for teams to play one last invitational tournament of their season, and to give teams going to nationals a chance to get back into the game after the late spring lull in tournaments.
We will also be holding the second annual Missouri Quizbowl Alliance Singles Championship immediately after this tournament. More information about that can be found at this link.

- The Ladue Academic Team is pleased to announced that we will be holding our inaugural quizbowl tournament on Saturday, April 2nd, 2011. We hope to attract many teams from across the state and perhaps some out-of-state teams as well.
We are setting a tentative field cap of 36 teams. There is no maximum to the number of teams each school may bring. We will likely be able to expand if there is enough interest, but until that point, we will accept teams on a first-come, first-serve basis. If our field fills, we will be able to guarantee every team in attendance at least 10 games, if not more.

- Questions: NAQT IS-100
- Unlike in past years, this year the tournament will be run in the twenty tossup/bonus format, the same as at our fall tournament. Games consist of twenty tossups worth ten points each, followed by non-rebounding bonuses worth up to thirty points. Tossups will feature "powers" (additional points awarded for correct buzzes very early in the question) and "negs" (five point deductions for incorrect answers before the question is finished).
The field cap is tentatively set at 24 teams, though we will make every effort to include all interested teams, and we will be dividing the field into small-school and large-school divisions of roughly equal size. The tournament will feature preliminary rounds in the morning and playoffs after lunch; the exact specifications of the tournament will be determined by the final field size, but every team will be guaranteed a minimum of six games. Our tournament traditionally features a strong and diverse field of teams from throughout the state.
The questions for this tournament will be provided by National Academic Quiz Tournaments, this year's provider for the MSHSAA district and state tournaments. The top 15% of the field in each division will qualify for the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament, which will be held May 27-29 in Atlanta, Georgia. The tournament will also be a qualifier for the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence National Scholastics Championship (PACE NSC), to be held June 4-5 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

- As MOQBA's flagship event, this tournament regularly features a diverse field of teams from throughout Missouri, creating a championship atmosphere and recognizing the state's top teams for national tournament qualification. Matt Chadbourne and Jeffrey Hill will serve as tournament directors of this official NAQT event, which will use untimed NAQT rules. The top fifteen percent of the field will automatically qualify for the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT), to be held in Atlanta, Georgia on May 27-29, 2011, and high-finishing teams will also qualify for the PACE National Scholastics Championship, which will be held at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois on June 4-5, 2011. In addition, the champion of this tournament is guaranteed a spot in the 2011 HSNCT, and the top team that had not qualified at a previously-held tournament will also receive a bid to HSNCT. MOQBA strongly encourages all teams to attend this tournament even if they do not intend to attend the HSNCT, in order to provide teams with a true representation of Missouri quizbowl.

- North Kansas City Varsity Invitational Tournament
- North Kansas City
- PACE NSC Qualifier
- Questions: HSAPQ (set TBD)
- This event will be similar to the last 2 years of NKC tournaments. We will be using pyramidal questions, which we are buying from the company High School Academic Pyramid Questions. We will be using a slightly modified version of the official format used at NAQT's National Championship, so games will be 20 tossups long, and each tossup will have a non-rebounding 30-point bonus attached. Every tossup will be worth 10 points, unless players buzz in early, before a specific mark in the question, in which case they will earn 15 points for a "power." We will also be using -5 point penalties for incorrect interrupts on tossups. This format is rarely used in Kansas City despite being the most common format nationwide, and a popular one in other parts of the state, so I am hopeful this will add some variety to the local circuit. Also, this year more of the questions in the MSHSAA state series will be similarly pyramidal than before, so this will help your team be able to prepare for that.
We will be running a slightly smaller event this year, because we are planning this on somewhat short notice, so we will institute an 18 team cap on the field. Another change from last year will be that we are going to increase the number of games offered to teams, because we are changing the playoffs from a single elimination bracket to a system where teams advance to different playoff pools depending on how well they do in the preliminary rounds. If we reach our cap, we will be able to guarantee 10 rounds to all teams, which is more than twice the number of games guaranteed to teams at most local events. If this sounds like it will take too long, bear in mind that the matches are 20 tossups long, so we are planning on beginning a round every half hour. I have directed tournaments using this same format and got 10 rounds in before 4 PM, so it should not take any longer than an average tournament.

- The questions will still be written by HSAPQ; however, there will be 20 tossups per game, with 30 point, random-topic rebounding bonuses. There will be blind powers on each tossup worth 20 points, later buzzes worth 10 points, and no neg fives.

- NAQT HSNCT Qualifier
- PACE NSC Qualifier
- Questions: NAQT IS-89A
- The question format will be standard NAQT rules-pyramidal questions (though the questions will be shorter and slightly easier than most NAQT sets), neg-5's for incorrect early buzzes, 15 points instead of 10 for correct early answers, and 30-point bonuses with no rebounding.
The tournament field will be broken into two brackets of eight teams for preliminary rounds, with a round robin in each bracket, for seven prelim rounds total. After lunch, teams will be broken up into four groups of four based on record and total points for pool play. Final placement will be determined by results against teams in the same playoff pool. I expect the tournament to conclude around 4 P.M. or slightly earlier, which should be very reasonable for most teams, but this also guarantees ten rounds for every team.
