The 2016 Illinois High School Association (IHSA) State Championship Tournaments will end the thirty-first State Championship Series conducted in Scholastic Bowl by the IHSA. It will be the twenty-sixth season in which there were separate State Championship Tournaments held for small schools (Class A) and large schools (Class AA). For the twenty-first year, both tournaments were held at the Peoria Civic Center. The tournaments were held on a Friday, March 17.
This was the first quizbowl tournament under the supervision of IHSA administrator, Kraig Garber.
Advancement
Teams were assigned to one of eight sectionals within each class. Coaches then seeded the top 8 teams in their sectional. The IHSA then assigned the seeded teams to one of four regionals (1 with 8, 2 with 7, etc), with the remainder of the teams assigned to a regional geographically. The winners of the regionals would advance to their respective sectional tournaments, where they would play a three match round robin to determine a winner. The determination of the geographic boundaries of the Sectional was arbitrarily decided by the IHSA Office.
Tournament Format
Each round was comprised of 24 toss-ups and accompanying bonus questions.
In the State Championship Tournament, teams were randomly assigned to pools of four, and played a three match round robin. The winners of each pool advanced to the Championship Match, and the runners-up in each pool advanced to play for third place. Ties were broken by head-to-head results or total points scored among tied teams (in the event of a three-way tie).
The top four teams earned trophies and medals for team members, coaches, principals, and activities directors.

Notes
- Having already won the NAQT and Masonic State Titles, Stevenson was considered a strong favorite to win the tournament ... Barrington, which Stevenson had beaten in the sectionals to advance, was widely considered Stevenson's best competition in the 2016-17 season. The first round loss to Dunlap easily ranks among the most shocking upsets in Illinois quizbowl history.
- Timothy Chrisitan had strong teams for years, but spent most of the last two decades playing in a Class A sectional with Latin. Latin's movement to Class AA allowed Timothy Christian to finally advance, and won the state title in their first state tournament appearance.
- Auburn continued to add to its streak of top 4 finishes, a state record streak that dates to 2002.
