NCT

The National Championship Tournament (NCT) was held annually by the College Bowl Company, Inc., to determine its format's national title.

College Bowl conducted the NCT from 1978 to 2008, with occasional matches appearing on radio or TV during that time. In most of the later tournaments, the champions of each of the fifteen ACUI region tournaments, as well as one second-place finisher chosen at "random," were invited to the NCT, held on a different ACUI-affiliated college campus each year. Earlier tournaments used a variety of other formats.

There will be no NCT for at least the 2009 nationals season, as College Bowl has suspended its general competition program.
