The Oklahoma Quiz Bowl Alliance was an organization founded by Eric Bell and Greg Oppel to promote the growth of good quizbowl in Oklahoma. The OQBA hosted a spring and fall tournament each year, as well as the NAQT Oklahoma State Championship. OQBA also sponsored a number of other pyramidal quizbowl tournaments in Oklahoma, such as the Timberwolf Invitational, Bulldog Invitational, and Azalea Bowl. The last official OQBA event was held in 2014.

NAQT Spring Series
The OQBA's spring tournament was its first NAQT event, and until 2007 was the only such event run directly by OQBA. The spring tournament ran for eight iterations between 2003 and 2010, after which it was dropped in favor of sponsoring events hosted by various schools throughout Oklahoma.
