NASAT

The National All-Star Academic Tournament (NASAT) is a national tournament where all-star teams from each state (including the District of Columbia) can participate. The tournament is also open to all-star teams from Canadian provinces and other country subdivisions.

The first NASAT was held on June 12–13, 2010 at Vanderbilt.

NASAT was run by High School Academic Pyramid Questions from 2010 through 2017. It is now run by International Quiz Bowl Tournaments.

NASAT is not the first tournament to use state all-star teams, since that is done by PAC/NTAE. However, it is the first tournament using all-star teams to feature pyramidal questions and one-on-one matches.

Since 2016, states have been allowed to enter more than one team (i.e., B teams).

2020 NASAT was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2021, NASAT has been held online.

In addition to US state all-star teams, NASAT has received interest from teams outside of the United States. In 2018, Asia fielded a team, but renamed it to China after players from Singapore were unable to attend. Asia has fielded teams at NASAT from 2021 onward. Canada also sent a team in 2021, and Liberia fielded one in 2022 and 2023.
