An NAQT State Qualifier is a state level tournament run on NAQT supplied questions and generally adhering to NAQT rules. In many states, the qualifier serves as the (or as a) state championship tournament. While finishing in the top 15% of the field in most tournaments run on NAQT questions will qualify a team for the High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT), the winner of a state qualifier automatically qualifies for the HSNCT.
In some states, the tournament is termed a state championship tournament, and may be one of several, or the only state tournament for that state. In some cases the tournaments did not start as NAQT state qualifiers, but evolved to become one by adopting NAQT questions and rules.
Special Cases
- California hosts two state qualifiers.
- The District of Columbia and Maryland host a combined state tournament.
- Florida hosted a single state qualifier from 2003-2012, and then started hosting two state qualifiers.
- While New Hampshire held its own state qualifier in 2011, it has otherwise participated in Vermont's state qualifier.
- New York currently holds two state qualifiers. In 2008, 09, and 11 it held a single tournament.
- Similar to Florida, Pennsylvania had a single state qualifier from 2008-2011, and then started hosting two state qualifiers.
